FIG. 2D: LM-OBNT- 4k, 6k & 8k Centers of Gravity and Maximum Load
Ratings for Varying Load Attachment Points
Center of gravity has both a horizontal component and a vertical component. The vertical center of gravity
(VCG) lies along a line 15 inches (~38 cm) from the bottom edges of the fork pockets. Similarly, the horizontal
center of gravity (HCG) is located 35-7/8 inches (~91 cm) from the outer edges of the fork pockets.
VCG = 15 in.
