Isn’t the manufacturer required to provide the forklift capacity rating information?
OSHA makes provisions in the standard for a professional engineer to provide forklift capacity rating tags. Forklifts must be correctly labeled for capacity with any attachment being used and there are many situations where the manufacturer cannot or will not provide this information in a timely manner. In the interest of safety OSHA provides an alternative in the standard and the Lift Truck Capacity Calculator brings this process into the 21st century with available computer and internet technology. Professional Forklift Engineering Services is a licensed professional engineering company authorized by the OSHA regulations and qualified to provide these capacity rating tags.
