Taking possession of a brand-new or new-to-you forklift is fun. One of the reasons the people at Toyota are so dedicated to manufacturing and selling forklifts is that they are cool machines. So, I know operators are excited to jump on their new lift and get to work. Not to worry. We want you to enjoy and use your Toyota forklift to get your work done safely and efficiently.
Sometimes referred to as a capacity plate or a forklift nameplate, the forklift data plate includes important information such as weight, fuel type, and forklift load capacity. Associates need to read the data plate during training and before use to help build a culture of safety in your facility.
Relatively quickly, you’ll need to know some quick information about your forklift’s capabilities. Luckily, a forklift data plate is installed on every truck on the market to help you understand what your forklift can do and provide vital information.
There is a variety of information that can be found on a forklift data plate, including the following:
12. Battery AMP-Hour Rating: Indicates how much charge the battery can deliver over a period of time.
13. Battery Weight:The minimum and maximum battery weight are important to understand your overall truck weight.
Warning:Only trained operators who have read and understood the operator’s manual should operate forklifts.
