Forklift FitCheck · early shortlist

Which forklift fits your actual load and site?

Capacity alone is not enough. This screen also asks how deep the load is, how high it travels, what power is at the charging point and whether the mast must work inside a container.

01 · Load and lift
kg

Use the loaded weight, including pallet or stillage.

mm

This screens the load centre; width is not the same measurement.

m
mm

Measure rack face to rack face. Exact Ast still needs a layout check.

02 · Site and duty
h/day

FitCheck is an early shortlist, not an engineering approval. Rated capacity is not residual capacity. Final selection must use the delivered forklift’s load chart with the actual mast, lift height, load centre, forks and attachments.

Seven site facts in, a reasoned shortlist out.

Your result appears here without asking for an email address.

What it catches

Useful hard stops

Loads above rated capacity, requested lift above the configured mast, container work without confirmed full free lift, incompatible charging-supply class and unsealed-ground work outside this fleet’s stated use case.

Why load depth matters

A forklift’s nominal rating commonly assumes a specified load centre. A deeper load moves its centre of gravity forward, so the nameplate capacity cannot simply be applied unchanged.

Why the answer stays conditional

Residual capacity depends on the exact mast, height, attachment, forks and load geometry. The delivered machine’s data plate and load chart—not this website—control the final decision.
