ForkLift/Tow motor rated box

[ConfusedMuse]

Hey People!

We're almost there!!!
Had a box lined up only to find out it was not tow motor rated.
whatever tow motors are some sort of heavy duty forklift Im presuming.
Any hoot... what are the specs on a box floor for the heaviest possible forklift/tow motor. 12" centers, 8" centers, 6" centers?

Thanks

The tow motors are the same as fork lifts. As far as the box, some manufacturers rate them different. Usually so many pounds per square inch. Frame on six inch centers would certainly be enough. But, you can go to twelve inches as well depending on what kind of flooring and its thickness or weight ratio capacity.
Most boxes have a serial number. Call the manufacturer for what its rating is if seeking used etc.
