Chapter 8 Crane operation
Load limits
Caution!
Exceeding the permissible ranges, load capacities and/or
maximum load may affect the vehicle stability and/or cause the crane
components to break; it is therefore prohibited. There is severe
danger to life for the operator and others.
Load capacity label:
1. Maximum load capacity of the crane.
2. Number of extended extension booms and extensions.
3. Maximum load capacities at the respective outreach.
For load capacity chart refer to chapter 13, 'Technical description'.
If required by national regulations and laws the installer should enclose load capacity charts for
additional load ranges (ISC, SHB) in chapter 13.
Working position of the crane
Load capacity, component wear, and working life of the crane are among others dependent on the
working position.
In adverse working positions:
•
the bearings, joints and crane components are under higher stress and therefore wear out quicker;
•
the specified load may not be reached;
•
the component wear increases.
The crane must always be in an optimum working position for the task at hand.
