Static Lean Table

This table shows the relationship between the static lean of a forklift truck, due to the difference in elevation between the left and right hand forklift truck load wheels, and the height of the racking, assuming that the mast is a rigid structure. However, due to the mechanical tolerances in the mast, and the dynamic considerations when the truck is moving with a load at a height, the lean could increase up to three times the figure shown. This particular set of figures is based on a typical wheel spacing of 1200mm, from centre to centre of the outer load wheels.
