5.4 TELEHANDLER/ATTACHMENT/FORK CAPACITY
Prior to installing attachment, verify it is approved and telehandler is equipped with
proper capacity chart. See
“Approved Attachments” on page 5-1.
To determine maximum capacity of telehandler and attachment, use the smallest of the
following capacities:
• Capacity stamped on attachment identification plate ( 1 ).
• Fork capacities and load centers are stamped on the side of each fork ( 2 ) (if equipped).
This rating specifies maximum load capacity that the individual fork can safely carry at
maximum load center (
3 ). Total attachment capacity is multiplied by number of forks
on attachment (if equipped), up to maximum capacity of attachment.
• Maximum capacity as indicated on the proper capacity chart. See “Approved
Attachments” on page 5-1.
• When load rating of telehandler differs from capacity of the forks or attachment, the
lower value becomes the overall load capacity.
Use the proper capacity chart to determine maximum capacity at various machine
configurations. Lifting and placing a load may require use of more than one capacity chart
based on machine configuration.
Other than block forks, all forks should be used in matched pairs, block forks used in
matched sets.
WARNING
Never use an attachment without the appropriate JLG approved capacity chart
installed on the telehandler.
