SEE LOAD CENTER CAPACITY WORKSHEET TO DETERMINE
YOUR TRUCK CAPACITY WHEN USING THESE MOUNTS WITH A POLE


CR Mount --------------- FM Mount ----------------------- FM1 Mount
See colorized chart below for prices with these mounts.

STANDARD 2.5" POLES HAVE A 2500 LB. CAPACITY EVENLY DISTRIBUTED LOAD
BUT ANY POLE AND MOUNT CAN BE BENT OR BROKEN BY MISUSE
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR BENDING AND BREAKING POLES 
OR MOUNTS; KNOW HOW TO USE IT OR DON'T BUY IT.

Due to fluctuating steel prices, all prices are subject to change

Carriage Mount is semi-permanent, remove forks, install ram and mount, bottom clips are then bolted.
Fork mounted poles come with a mount that accepts standard Class II forks, but load rating drops as the rug ram is actually
 farther away from the truck than with the conventional mount.  You MUST know roll weights and understand the lift capacity of your machine!  
Class of carriage - generally a Class II carriage is 16" tall and a Class III is 20".  Class II is found on most forklifts
 through 5000 and even 6000 lb lift capacity.  Class III on heavier trucks, rarely found used with carpet poles.

CAUTION! A forklift WITH a side shifter will have less capacity than one without, because the side shifter mechanism moves 
the forks further out, about 4", while the trucks factory rating is based on having NO side shifter.  Your data plate MUST state
this lowered value.  You should see on the data plate:
S/S    24"    XXXX lbs or kg This difference in lift truck capacity, with and without side shifter, should also be 
subtracted from the capacity calculations in the following table.  Example: If your 5000 lb. capacity forklift's data plate 
says the
capacity WITH S/S is 4800, than you should take 200 lbs. off the calculations below to truly know what your forklift 
can safely pick up with the 3 types of rug pole mounts.

 

 

 

 



Forklift Trucks Center Of Gravity and Load Capacity Explained

Don't PASS this Info Up...read it before buying a pole.

A 12' (144") POLE carrying a 15' (180") long roll has a CENTER OF LOAD of Ninety Inches.

SO if your forklift is rated at 5000 lbs. @ 24" CENTER OF LOAD how do you determine YOUR
forklifts lift capacity?

Here's the math formula:

Forklift Capacity x data plate center of load divided by center of load with carpet pole

i.e. 5000 lbs x 24" = 120,000 inch/pounds lift capacity divide by NEW LOAD CENTER 90" = 1333 lbs less the weight of the carpet pole (about 300 lbs.)  Forklift capacity 1000 lbs.  What do your rolls weigh?

LOAD CENTER/CAPACITY WORKSHEET

A word about POLES - Our Poles are known as Stres-Proof. These are heat treated and 
case hardened steel composition is 1044.  You'll never weld it or drill it.  If you do weld it's butt 
into a mount, it'll fracture the weld and possibly the pole.  THAT'S why they are NEVER welded.

Price Note: There are cheaper carpet poles on the market, but not made nearly as well.  One maker uses 1 lonely bottom clamp 
on the carriage mount with 1 bolt.  Anyone that ever used a carpet pole knows how much twist and torque can be on a pole, 
one bolt and clamp is NOT going to  make 10 years hard use.  Liability is a big issue.  Our poles are made rugged with 2 clamps 
and 2 bolts in each.  The pole is 4" deep in the socket, the plate stiffened with heavy channel steel.

12' RUG POLE "FM" FORK MOUNTED AND PICKED UP BY 42" LONG FORKS PLUS 1/2 of 12' roll or 72" + 42" = 114"
3000 at 24" load center 960  lbs. at 72" load center
Side shifter use reduces this capacity.
505 lbs. at 114" load center
Side shifter use reduces this capacity.
4000 at 24" load center 1263  lbs. at 72" load center
Side shifter use reduces this capacity.
842 lbs. at 114" load center
Side shifter use reduces this capacity.
5000 at 24" load center 1600 lbs. at 72" load center
Side shifter use reduces this capacity.
1052 lbs. at 114" load center
Side shifter use reduces this capacity.
