Operation
Reading The Capacity Chart
Example (1):
1. The operator has placed the load onto the forks, fully retracted the
boom, positioned the vehicle perpendicular to the structure and
leveled the vehicle.
2. The operator then determines that:
• The load weight is 4,000 pounds (1.814 kg).
• The height of the structure the load is to be placed upon is 26
feet (7,9 meters) from ground level.
• The distance where the load will ultimately be placed in front of
the vehicle is 17 feet (5,2 meters) from the front of the front tires.
3. After applying the height of the structure and the distance of load
placement away from the vehicle to the capacity chart, the operator
knows that it will be safe to place the load if the boom extend letter
“D” has appeared and the boom angle indicator reading does not
go below approximately 40°. This condition is however, a maximum
limit for this weight, height and distance away from the vehicle. The
operator should move the vehicle closer to the structure to assure
that the vehicle will not exceed the maximum limits for placing the
load.
