Lift Capacities
Overloading this aerial device or disregarding Lift Capacity Chart directions can
result in structural failure, tipping or injury to personnel. Read and understand all
instructions before operating the aerial device.
Do not lift any load without determining the total load lifted. The lifted load must
always include the headache ball/hook block and any chains, slings, spreader bars etc.
used to pick the load.
For the main boom, the boom length and load radius shall determine the
capacity. Boom angle should only be used as a guide. Always measure the load
radius. For the jib, the boom angle shall determine the capacity on the jib until full
extension is reached. Do not exceed radius indicated on the load chart at full boom
extension .
Before lifting any load, make sure that:
A. Outriggers and stabilizers are extended on a firm, uniformly supporting surface.
B. Aerial device is level.
C. The exact weight lifted is known, including all tackle and rigging.
D. Due to wear pad friction, some loads on the chart cannot be telescoped.
However, it is safe to attempt to telescope all loads within the chart limits.
E. Do not exceed the area of operation on the capacity chart.
F. Reduce load ratings to compensate for wind, ground conditions and the dynamic
effects of swinging, hoisting, and lowering the load.
NOTE: For units installed outside the factory, t he installer must perform a stability
test in compliance with instructions furnished by Elliott Equipment Company.
