Question #128
The maximum load that can be lifted on a pair of fork arms, each marked 2500 x 500, is:
Maksymalny ładunek jaki można podnieść na parze wideł oznaczonych 2500 x 500 każda wynosi:
a
0.5 t
0,5 t
b
2.5 t
2,5 t
c
5.0 t
5,0 t
Correct answer
d
12.0 t
12,0 t
Why?
Each fork arm has a capacity (udźwig) of 2500 kg at a 500 mm load centre, so an evenly loaded pair supports 2 × 2500 = 5000 kg, or 5.0 t. The 2.5 t figure applies to one fork arm. The load must also stay within the forklift truck's capacity chart (diagram udźwigu).
