Your 10,000# lifted load will yield a front axle load something like a 22,000# for a diesel truck. I had a contractor tell me just yesterday that on a recent job they had a forktruck front tire punch through the slab (where the wheel load was supposedly under the engineer's allowable number). Some are configured with special lifting devices (other than the typical forks) which can add quite significantly to the load. Electric and powered trucks are a little different from one another (don't forget that battery weight). Some are hard wheeled (the worst) some have pneumatic tires. ![]() ![]() Some have double tires in the front above a certain size. There is a fair amount of variance between manufacturers, so be conservative.
