The 11k EBFL load center is equal to how many inches?

• A. 20 inch load center
• B. 22 inch load center
• C. 24 inch load center
• D. 26 inch load center

Answer: (C)

The rating for a forklift’s capacity is given at a standard load center, which is the distance from the forklift’s face to the load’s center of gravity. For most forklifts, that standard load center is 24 inches. An 11,000-pound capacity model (the EBFL designation) uses that same baseline, so the expected load center is 24 inches. If the load center were smaller or larger, the rated capacity would change accordingly, but the 11k EBFL rating is based on the 24-inch load center. That’s why 24 inches is the correct match.
