Calculators for the job after the spec sheet
Trailer capacity and CDL checkCheck whether your truck and trailer can haul a machine: trailer payload, towing capacity, tongue weight, the federal Class A CDL threshold and the tiedowns you need.Forklift load centerEstimate how much a forklift can lift when the load center is beyond its rated 24 in, and check a load against it.Floor load checkCheck whether a scissor lift, boom lift or other machine is within a floor’s rated load, using its footprint, published floor pressure and wheel load.Shipping and permit checkSee whether a machine ships at legal size on a flatbed, step deck or lowboy, whether it needs an oversize permit, and whether it fits in a 20 ft, 40 ft or high cube container.
Quick answers
How we get the numbers
Every weight comes from the manufacturer’s published specification sheet or, where the maker’s site cannot be read, from an authorized dealer reproducing it. Each page links its sources and says which kind it is.
When sources disagree we show the range and say why. Weights change with cabs, counterweights, tracks and attachments, so the serial plate on the machine is the final word. The whole dataset is free to download as JSON or CSV.
