Operating a forklift that is safe and in compliance with all OSHA forklift regulations is made possible by utilizing the Lift Truck Capacity Calculator, a game-changing product for anyone that works with or in the material handling industry.

For those looking to improve workplace safety and to maximize Forklift utilization, load maps can help with both. Simply put, load maps give both capacity ratings at multiple lift heights and load centers. They are a “road map” to Forklift safety. Professional Forklift Engineering Services can help customers get their map online at LiftTruckCapacityCalculator.com.

According to OSHA regulations, all forklifts must have an accurate capacity data plate that reflects the forklift attachments installed. In-house built attachments on forklifts must be certified for capacity and physical properties before a data plate can be issued. The engineering analysis must establish the physical properties and safe lifting capacity of the attachment and then marry the attachment to the forklift and mathematically establish a data plate capacity rating for the forklift and attachment(s) combination. Forklifts without the proper capacity data plate installed are unsafe to operate because the operator does not know the safe lifting limits of the machine which can result in accidents. Improperly marked forklift are in violation of OSHA safety regulations if they continue to operate. Large OSHA fines can be levied on the forklift owner if discovered by OSHA inspectors and serious liability burdens can result in the event of an accident. This is where Professional Forklift Engineering Services can help. Found online at LiftTruckCapacityCalculator.com, their team is here to assist customers with their expertise.
