re 3-point lift capacity:
Here's an old photo I posted years ago. What I wrote in that post: (water is 8.3 lbs per gallon plus under 100 lbs for the platform and cans)
"Lifting capacity: I tried five 30 gallon cans of water on the pallet - the hydraulics couldn't lift it but it didn't hurt the forks. Four, likewise. Finally 3 cans (about 750 lbs including the forks and pallet) lifted easily and off I went."
