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. Different work tools and 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 - 35/65-33 or equivalent tires
Consult your Caterpillar dealer about the rated load for a specific work tool.
The rated operating load is defined by the SAE standard "J818" (May 1987) and by the ISO 5998 (1986) as 50 percent of the full turn static tipping load.
The dump clearance and the reach are given for each bucket at maximum lift height and at a 45 degree dump angle. Clearance is measured from the ground to the bucket edge when the bucket is in the full DUMP position. The reach is measured from the front tire to the bucket edge.
