Failure to comply to the rated load can cause possible personal injury or property damage. Review the rated load of a particular work tool before performing any operation. Make adjustments to the rated load as necessary for non-standard configurations. |

Failure to engage all four stabilizers and level the machine can result in personal injury or death. Engage all four stabilizers with the ground and level the machine before lifting an object |
There may be local regulations and/or government regulations that govern the use of machines which lift heavy objects. Obey all local and government regulations.
Lifting capacities should be used as a guide. Work tools, uneven ground conditions, soft ground conditions, or poor ground conditions have effects on lifting capacities. The operator is responsible for being aware of these effects.
Note: Lifting capacities are based upon a standard machine with the following conditions:
- Lift point: Stick nose without work tool
- Lubricants full
- Fuel tank full
- Machine is level
- All four stabilizers are engaged with firm, level ground
- Complete cab with a
75 kg (165 lb) operator
Lifting capacities will vary with different work tools and attachments. The weight of a work tool attachment must be subtracted from the lift capacity. Consult your Cat dealer regarding the lifting capacities for specific work tools and attachments.
The lifting capacities are defined by "SAE J2518". The lifting capacities are defined as the lower value of 75% of the static tipping capacity or 87% of the hydraulic lift capacity.
Symbols Found in the Lifting Capacity Charts
Below are symbols that are commonly found on lifting capacity charts for your machine.
Note: Depending on the machine configuration, some symbols may not be used.
|
Measurements are provided in millimeters and inches |
|
Lift Capacities are provided in kilograms and pounds |
|
Lift point radius |
|
Lift point height |
|
Lifting capacity over all sides of the machine |
|
All four stabilizers are engaged with the ground |
|
Load is limited by hydraulic lifting capacity rather than by a tipping load |
Note: The lifting capacities apply to the front, rear, and each side of the machine with all four stabilizers engaged with the ground. The least stable position is over the side.
