Load Ratings
The maximum load chart is a representation of the MAXIMUM loads for which your crane is
rated. The Overload Protection System prevents loads significantly over these ratings. The
actual load rating for your installation will be determined by other factors. Remember that just
because the load chart says a given load is possible, that load may not be possible under some
configurations without tipping the truck. Conduct a load stability test in accordance with Crane
Load–Stability Test Code, Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J765, to determine the actual
loading capacities for a given installation. Contact the factory for more information.
All crane functions are hydraulic except the hoist, which is electric. The hydraulic functions can
be actuated simultaneously, but when the crane is loaded it is best to actuate one function at a
time. Simultaneous actuation of two or more functions will momentarily result in a lower than
rated load capacity.
