Where would you look to find the forklift and attachment rated capacity?

• A. Safety sticker
• B. Data Plate
• C. Battery label
• D. User Manual

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that the true lifting limits for a forklift, including what changes when you add an attachment, are published directly on the machine. The data plate is the official source for this information. It’s a small plate fixed to the forklift that shows the maximum load the forklift can safely lift at a given load center with the current configuration (including attachments and fork types) and often with different values at different lift heights. Because attachments can reduce capacity, you must check this plate before lifting to confirm you’re within safe limits. Safety stickers give general warnings, but they don’t provide the exact rated capacity. The battery label and the user manual contain other details, but they aren’t the quick reference for the safe load you should apply in operation.
