Glossary Counterweight: A dead or nonworking load (usually lead or cast iron) attached to or incorporated into the rear of a counterbalanced truck, used to balance the load carried on the forks. Cushion tire: A solid rubber tire molded to a rim and pressed on the wheel, also called a “solid” tire, most effective on smooth and/or paved surfaces. Size is shown as diameter x tread width x rim size. Drawbar pull: The pull a vehicle can exert on a load attached to is drawbar; depends on power, weight, and traction. Fork size: Dimensions of each fork expressed as thickness x width x length. Fork spread: The maximum distance the forks can be positioned; as measured from the outside edge of each fork. Free fork height: The distance from the floor to the carrying surface of the forks when the forks are at their highest position with the mast in the down position (before beginning to telescope). Can determine the ability to lift and carry loads within low overhead spaces such as containers and boxcars. This is computed by adding fork thickness to free lift. Free lift: The vertical distance the forks can be raised before the mast telescoping begins. Front overhang: The distance from the front axle to the front face of the forks. Gradeability: The slope up which a rolling machine can move at a uniform speed, stated in percentage or degrees. See table on page 21. Height to top of overhead guard: The distance from the floor to the highest point on the overhead guard. High visibility mast: Also known as see through masts or other names specific to a manufacturer. A mast designed for maximum operator visibility, usually accomplished by placing the lift cylinders to the sides. Horsepower: a unit of the rate of work; 33,000 pounds lifted one foot in one minute. Various measurements of horsepower include: Rated horsepower: The theoretical horsepower of an engine based on its dimensions and speed and determined in accordance to a particular standard. HP= Bore 2 x stroke x R.P.M. x No. of cylinders 14,000 (Note: SAE standard J816; 85 o F (29 o C) @ 500 ft (152m) altitude.) 1 Tailift Sales Manual 2005
Indicated horsepower: The horse power developed in the cylinders, determined by the use of an indicator gauge. It does not include losses due to friction. Drawbar horsepower: The horsepower available to move a tractor and its load after deducting losses in the power train. Shaft, flywheel, brake horsepower: Actual horsepower produced by the engine after deducting the drag of accessories. Hydrostatic transmission: A transmission consisting of an engine driven variable displacement pump and motor providing infinitely variable speed control from zero to top speed without gears or clutches. Lifting speed: The upward speed of the forks either loaded or unloaded, expressed in feet per minute (fpm). Load capacity: The maximum load in pounds (or kilograms) that a truck can transport and/or stack to a specified height as rated by the manufacturer. Normally stated as a given load center, 24 inches being the most common. Load center: The horizontal distance between the front vertical face of the forks and the longitudinal midpoint of an evenly distributed load. Note as the load center shifts forward (increases) the load capacity must be derated (decreased). Lowered overall height: The height of a mast in its most collapsed position; Either this dimension or possibly the height to the top of the overhead guard will determine through what passages, doorways, or under what obstructions a truck will pass. Lowering speed: The downward speed of the forks either loaded or unloaded, expressed in feet per minute (fpm). Manual transmission: A transmission employing gear trains and clutches engaged and shifted directly by an operator. It may employ up to five forward speeds. Maximum fork height: The ultimate surface height of the forks with the mast fully extended. Because of pallet or load overhang, stacking at precisely this height may not be possible. Maximum fork height, rated capacity: The ultimate height of a lift before the load must be derated. This list height is often accomplished with other than the standard mast. Minimum aisle, right angle stack: The smallest aisle width in which a truck can accomplish a right angle stacking procedure. Because some of a truck’s overall length (and the load itself) is ahead of the front wheels, the minimum aisle for a right angle stack need to be greater than the truck’s turning radius. Minimum aisle, right angle stack = turn radius + front overhang + load length + clearance. Outside turn radius: The radius of a circle with its center at the front wheel of the truck on the side of the truck towards which the truck is moving. 2 Tailift Sales Manual 2005
