Operation
Reading The Capacity Chart
Example:
1. The operator has placed the load onto the forks, fully retracted the
boom, positioned the vehicle perpendicular to the structure and
leveled the vehicle. Refer to the load placement example (Figure
47, 1).
2. The operator then determines that:
• The load weight is 6,000 pounds (2.721 kg).
• The height of the structure the load is to be placed upon is 28
feet (8,5 meters) from ground level.
• The distance where the load will ultimately be placed in front of
the vehicle is 8 feet (2,4 meters) from the front of the front tires.
3. After applying the height of the structure and the distance of load
placement away from the vehicle to the capacity chart (Figure 47),
the operator knows that it will be safe to place the load if the boom
extend letter “B” has appeared and the boom angle indicator
reading does not go below approximately 55°. This condition is
however, a maximum limit for this weight, height and distance away
from the vehicle. The operator should move the vehicle closer to
the structure to assure that the vehicle will not exceed the
maximum limits for placing the load.
