Rated operating capacity
To determine how much the loader can handle
safely, a table of the tipping load and a calculated
Rated Operating Capacity (ROC) is shown in the
adjacent label. The label is also visible from the
driver's seat.
Rated operating capacity depends on type of use of
the loader:

In bucket and general application the rated
operating capacity is 50% of tipping load

In pallet fork application the rated operating
capacity is 60% of tipping load
The information shown in the table is the worst case
minimum load, with the conditions listed below.
Actual lifting capacity could be significantly higher, or
it may be lower, depending on terrain conditions,
available lifting force, and load distribution. Adding or
removing counterweights will affect the indicated
ROC.
The ROC table is valid, when:

The ground is firm and level

Loader is stationary or driven max 2 km/h,
with smooth and slow control movements

Driver 75 kg is seated on the driv
er’s seat

Load is distributed evenly on pallet forks,
with the load centre of gravity at 400 mm
from the vertical part of pallet fork arms. The
weight of the fork attachment is taken into
account in the indicated load values.
Rated operating capacity
Different loader configurations, rows in the label:
1. Loader frame in straight position, standard
counterweight fitted
2. Loader frame in fully articulated position,
standard counterweight fitted
Different positions of the loader boom, columns
in the label:
1. Maximum tipping load, stability when lifting
load just off the ground
2. Boom lifted to horizontal position (least
stable position)
3. Rated operating capacity in pallet fork
application
