| Q: |
Would it be advisable to purchase a forklift with a capacity greater than my requirement for extra assurance? |
| A: |
Lift capacity requirements have to be determined by assessing the maximum load at the maximum height. Forklift capacities decrease slightly after the mast reaches a certain height. If you decide to purchase a larger capacity unit you may end up with a physically larger (longer) forklift than you want.

| Q: |
I’ve seen different weight capacities stated on the specifications of the same forklift. Why is this so? |
| A: |
The same forklift can be rated for different capacity depending upon the attachment and mast height.
