What is a Load Center

When dealing with portable product lifts such as lift trucks, you should know about load centers. What is a load center? Here is an explanation, courtesy of Big Joe Manufacturing: all lift trucks have a stability rating expressed as a number of pounds capacity at a given load center. The presumption is that the load is a perfect cube and the load center is in the middle horizontally and vertically. For example, if a lift truck is rated for a 24-inch load center, the load is ideally 48 inches deep and high. If a lift truck is rated for an 18-inch load center, the ideal load is 36 inches deep and high.
