Calculation Activity

Question 1

You have 4 steel drums of water. Each drum weighs 212kg and are on a pallet weighing 45kg, what is the total weight of this load?

Answer 1

4 Drums @ 212kg each
= 4 x 212kgs
= 848kg
+
1 Pallet @ 45kg
= 848kg + 45kg
= 893kg total weight

Question 2

There are 6 x Cartons per layer and 6 x Layers on a pallet, each carton weighs 36kg. The load is placed on a pallet weighing 40kg. What is the total weight of this load?

Answer 2

6 cartons per layer x 6 layers
= 36 cartons @ 36kg each
= 36 x 36kgs
= 1,296kg
+
1 pallet @ 40kgs
= 1,296kgs + 40kgs
= 1,336kgs Total weight

Question 3

A Load contains 56 boxes, each box weighs 33kgs placed on a pallet weighing 42kgs. What is the total weight of this load?

Answer 3

56 boxes @ 33kgs each
= 56 x 33kgs
= 1,848kgs
+
1 pallet @ 42kgs
= 1,848kgs + 42kgs
=1,890kgs Total Weight

Question 4

Using this Data Plate, what is the lifting capacity of the foklift with the mast tilted forward 6 degrees?

Answer 4

1,480kgs

Question 5

Using this Data Plate, What is the lifting capacity of the forklift with the mast in the vertical position?

Answer 5

1,890kgs

Question 6

Using this Data Plate, Can a load weighing 1,890kgs and a load centre of 700mm be raised with the mast in the vertical position?

Answer 6

No, Load Centre Distance is greater than the forklifts capacity of 600mm

Question 7

Using this Data Plate, Can a load weighing more than 1,890kg be raised with the vast in vertical position?

Answer 7

No, the forklifts max capacity is 1,890kg, anything heavy than this is outside of the forklifts capacity.

Question 8

Using this Data Plate, What is the maximum height a load can be raised with the mast in the vertical position?

Answer 8

3,700mm

Question 9

Using this Data Plate, Can you lift a pallet 1175mm length and 1175mm width with a height of 1600mm and a total weight of 1700kgs?

Answer 9

Yes, this is within the forklifts capacity:
Forklift Load Centre Width = 915mm x 2 = 1830mm (pallet is less than this @ 1175mm)
Forklift Load Centre Height is 915mm x 2 = 1830mm (pallet height is less than this @ 1600mm)
Forklift max lift weight is 6130kgs, pallet is less than this @ 1700kgs.

Question 10

Using this Data Plate, A container containing 6000kg of load and a tare wight of 2,500kg. The container size is 2.4m wide, 2.5m high and 2.4m long.

Answer 10

No, the container is outside the forklifts capacity:
Forklift Load Centre Width = 915mm x 2 = 1830mm (containers width is greater than this @ 2,400mm)
Forklift Load Centre Height is 915mm x 2 = 1830mm (containers height is greater than this @ 2,500mm)
Forklift max lift weight is 6130kgs, container is greater than this @ 2,500kg.

Question 11

Using the Data Plate, What is the maximum height a load can be raised with the mast in the vertical position?

Answer 11

4,400mm, this is the max Load Height (Dim A)
