400 kg
b
600 kg
600 kg
c
1500 kg
1500 kg
d
2000 kg
2000 kg
Correct answer
Why?
When picking up from side A, the dimension along the forks is 1000 mm, so the load centre distance (odległość środka ciężkości ładunku) is c = 1000/2 = 500 mm. Select the next higher c value shown in the chart, which is the 600 mm column. The maximum load capacity (udźwig) in this column is 2000 kg at height H = 4860 mm; it decreases at greater heights. The 1500 kg value comes from the c = 800 mm column, which would be selected for pickup from side B.
