Many electric forklift operators, especially new team members in warehouse and logistics scenarios, often have confusions about the forklift load chart posted on the vehicle body, which may lead to unstandardized operation risks. As a professional service provider, Jianshu New Energy focuses on BYD electric forklifts, and we sort out the most frequent related questions and practical answers for all operation teams.

First, many users ask what exactly a forklift load chart is. It is an official safety reference document marked with full parameters of the corresponding forklift model, covering the rated basic load under standard working condition, standard load center distance, allowed maximum carrying weight at different lifting heights, and adjusted load parameters when installing different optional attachments. This chart is not a random reference note, but the core basis to define the safe operation boundary of the specific forklift unit.

The second high-frequency question is why the load chart must be strictly followed during daily operation, instead of judging the maximum load by empirical feeling. Even if the actual weight of the goods seems to be within the nominal maximum load marked on the forklift head, improper operation outside the specified range on the load chart may cause potential safety risks. For example, operators should never overload the forklift when the goods center of gravity exceeds the standard load center distance, or when the working condition requires lifting the goods to a higher height than the reference height of the nominal rated load. Any modification to the vehicle attachment will also change the allowable load value, which is clearly noted on the corresponding position of the load chart.

Many users also ask about the correct method to read the load chart properly. It is not recommended to only check the nominal maximum load value at the first sight. Operators need to confirm the actual working scenario parameters first, including the real center of gravity position of the cargo to be carried, the maximum required lifting height, and the type of attached tools installed on the forklift, then find the corresponding allowed load data on the load chart to arrange the handling work reasonably.
