Capacity on your forklift
An attachment adds weight and moves the load centre forward, so the truck’s safe working load drops. Eteq calculates that derated figure with the quote, which is also the figure used when the truck is re-plated. Saur and Stricta hydraulic attachments mount on ISO Class II, III and IV carriages, including Toyota, Linde, Hyster, TCM, Jungheinrich, Manitou, Yale and Feeler trucks.
