The truck’s plates and significance for lifting

As a truck operator you must be aware of:

• lift capacity and load centre distance the capacity applies to

• lift height, any free lift and minimum driving height

• any lowering of capacity in high lifts

• weight and axle pressure of the truck.

If you use an attachment, it must have a plate stating:

• the weight of the attachment

• the distance of centre of gravity of the attachment

• maximum lifting capacity.
