TINGS FOR

VARYING LOAD ATTACHMENT POINT AND BOOM EXTENSION COMBINATIONS

The center of gravity has a vertical component as well as a horizontal component. The vertical center of gravity is

located 15.5 in. (~39.4cm) above the bottom edges of the fork pockets. The horizontal component ranges from 31

inches to 47 inches measured from the outer edges of the fork pockets. As shown in the diagram above:

 Retracted horizontal center of g

ravity (RHCG): boom fully retracted with a load attached at position A, the center

of gravity is located 31 inches (~79 cm) from the outer edges of the fork pockets;

 Extended horizontal center of g

ravity (EHCG): fully extended with a load attached at position J, the center of

gravity is located 47 inches (~119 cm) from the outer edges of the fork pockets.

All other combinations (of boom extension and load position) yield horizontal centers of gravity located at or

between RHCG and EHCG.
