Failure to comply to the rated load can cause possible personal injury or attachment damage. Review the rated load of a particular attachment before performing any operation. Make adjustments to the rated load as necessary. |
Note: Rated loads should be used as a guide. Attachments, uneven ground conditions, soft ground conditions, or poor ground conditions have effects on rated loads. The operator is responsible for being aware of these effects.
For European applications, the rated load is defined by CEN 474-3. The rated operating load for a firm, level surface is defined by the least amount of weight of the following conditions.
- 80% of the full turn static tipping load
- The minimum lifting capacity
The rated operating load for rough terrain is defined by the least amount of weight of the following conditions.
- 60% of the full turn static tipping load
- The minimum lifting capacity
For North American applications, the rated operating load is defined by SAE J1197 Feb 91 as 50% of the full turn static tipping load.
The maximum placement height (ground to top face of forks) and reach (front tires to front face of forks) are given for forks that are horizontal at maximum lift height.

Dimension A represents the placement height. Dimension B represents the load center. Dimension C represents the reach. |
The following tables provide the rated operating loads for the standard machine configuration with fork carriage and with pallet forks.
