NOTE
The signs may vary depending on country. Always make sure that you comply with
the statutory requirements of the country in which you use the crane.
3.4. Maximum load
Lifting capacity
Your crane has a certain lifting capacity, expressed in kNm or tm. This lifting capacity is also known
as the load moment. The lifting capacity is: the payload multiplied by the outreach in metres that
the crane can operate at different positions. The lifting capacity of your crane determines the
maximum load your crane may lift within its working zone. However take careful note; the greater
the operating radius of the crane, the lower the lifting capacity will be because of the weight of the
boom system itself. The load plate and the load diagram on your crane show the maximum loads
you may lift in the operating reach of your crane.
DANGER
• Overloading could result in damage to the crane or in the worst case, personal
injury or death
• Never increase a hanging load, since that may cause a load holding valve to
open and/or the vehicle to turn over.
• Never use the crane with the OLP system switched off.
NOTE
The extra weight of the lifting accessories has to be added to the load. Thus, with
lifting accessories the load you can lift is less heavy.
Load plate
You will find the load plate next to the main control station.
On the plate is the maximum weight that you may lift at a
given reach, with the 1st boom in the optimum position. In
chapter Technical Data in this manual you will find these
values for your crane.
DANGER
Never
exceed the maximum weight on the load plate.
Optimum lifting position
The weight that your crane can lift will be determined by:
• Stability of your crane on the vehicle.
