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. |
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.
Rated loads are based upon a standard machine with the following conditions:
- proper lubricants
- full fuel tank
- enclosed ROPS
- 80 kg (176 lb) operator
- 23.5 R25 L-3 tires or equivalent
Rated loads will vary for different attachments. Consult your Caterpillar dealer about the rated load for specific attachments.
For North America, the rated operating load is defined by SAE "J1197" (February 1991) as 50% of the full turn static tipping load.
For Europe, the rated operating load is defined by CEN "474-3" as 60% of the full turn static tipping load.

The placement height is measured from the ground to the chain hook. The reach is measured from the center of the front tire to the chain hook. These measurements are given for a material handling arm that is at highest position (1) and at lowest position (2). The operating load is given for a machine that is articulated by 40 degrees.
The following table provides the rated operating loads for the standard machine configuration with a material handling arm.
