A capacity load may be carried on the boom, or a capacity load may be carried on the
deck, but not at the same time. The total of the percent of deck load and the percent
of boom load must not exceed 100%. For example, if the boom load is 100% of its
capacity at its current load radius, the deck load capacity is 0%. If the boom load is
60% of the load rating for its load radius, the deck load capacity is 40% of maximum.

The ON OUTRIGGER capacities of this crane are based on all outriggers being FULLY
EXTENDED to a FIRM, LEVEL surface with no load on the tires. The crane may tip at
less than capacity loads if operated in the following manner:
A. Outriggers only partially extended and resting on curbing, shoring, etc. If the outriggers
are not all the way DOWN, they are not all the way OUT.
B. Crane operated on a hill or sloping surface. Crane will tip at less than rated capacity
when load is lifted on downhill side.
C. Outriggers extended to a surface that appears to be firm, but is unable to support the
outrigger pad at full rated loads. Examples of this type of surface are:
1. Thin or cracked blacktop or concrete.
2. Dirt that appears dry and firm on top but is moist or unpacked beneath the
surface.
3. Dirt with a frozen but thin crust.
CAPACITY EXAMPLE (See Boom Extension Capacity Example Page 2-22)
Refer to the IC-200-J capacity chart on the preceding page. A load 5’ X 5’ X 5’ (1.5 m x 1.5
m x 1.5 m) and weighing 14,000 pounds (6350 kg) is to be lifted onto the deck of the crane
for transport to a new location. We see on the chart that 7500 pounds (3400 kg) is the
maximum load on one-part line, so the sheave block is required. The charts show the weight
of the standard sheave block to be 210 pounds (96 kg). The rigger says that two slings are
required, weighing a total of 50 pounds (23 kg). The total load is 14,000+210+50=14,260
(6350 + 96 + 23 = 6469 kg).
Looking at the 360° ROTATION, ON RUBBER column we see that we can lift 16,000 pounds
(7250 kg) at a 6-foot (1.8 m)load radius. However, this radius is less than the distance from
the center of rotation to the center of the load, with the crane parked next to the load, so the
load cannot be lifted this way. This leaves the ON OUTRIGGERS columns. The outriggers
should always be used whenever possible anyway. We see that we can lift up to 18,500
pounds (8520 kg) at a 10-foot (3.0 m) load radius, either over the front or over the side. If
possible, position the crane to lift the load over the front. This is the best position for stability.
Checking the chart again, we see that the load is within the deck load limit of 17,000 pounds
(7700 kg) and that the travel speed with the load must be limited to creep speed. Creep
speed is less than 2 MPH (3 km/h) and not to exceed 200 feet (60 m) in a 30 minute period.
This is an approved relationship between load, tire pressure and speed.

REMEMBER THAT AS THE BOOM IS LOADED, DEFLECTION OF THE BOOM, TIRES,
ETC. WILL INCREASE THE LOAD RADIUS. SO BE CONSERVATIVE IN YOUR
CAPACITY ESTIMATE.
