Floor loads A container floor is capable of carrying a forklift truck with a maximum axle load of 5,460 kg (12,037 lbs), if the contact area per wheel is at least 142 cm2 (22 in2) (ISO 1496/I), whereas the steel-floor containers provide a maximum axle load of 9,200 kg (20,282 lbs), valid for all commonly available forklifts.
