Load capacity, rated capacity and net capacity all describe the maximum weight a lift truck can safely raise at a specified load center. If the load is not centered, the forklift cannot lift to its maximum capacity.
A truck's payload capacity refers to the maximum amount of weight you can safely add to a truck's cargo area in addition to its empty weight (or curb weight). Towing capacity, on the other hand, refers to the maximum weight that a truck can tow after factoring in the weight of the truck and any cargo.
The typical capacity of an elevator is between 2100 lbs. to 5000 lbs.
Usually, a common residential lift is usually 3′ wide by 4′ deep or 0.91 x 1.22 m in dimension. The space required for lift in home depends on the width of the elevator door. On average, the width is 36 inches or 0.91 m.
Standard Dimensions for Passenger Lifts
For example, standard dimensions for the most common lift sizes in a residential building are 910 mm x 1220 mm with a 910 mm door width. However, the standard dimensions for the most common lift sizes in an office building are 1830 mm x 1530 mm with a 1220 mm door width.
