2.11 Permissible loads 
IMPORTANT
 
Do not allow any load to exceed the rated capacity for the liftgate. The load diagram on 
the rating plate must be observed. A one-sided load must not exceed 50% of the load-
carrying capacity. The center of the load should be as centered as possible between the 
lifting arms. The greater the distance of the load from the center, the lower the rated 
loading capacity. 
 
Moving loads from the vehicle to the liftgate 
IMPORTANT
 
There is no built-in protection against loads that exceed the rated capacity or that are not 
within the correct loading distance and are moved from the vehicle to the platform. 
Overloading of this type can, for example, cause the platform to break. The operator is 
responsible for ensuring that the platform is traversed/loaded only with loads that comply 
with the liftgate’s load diagram. 
 
 WARNING 
 
Load the platform correctly and do not overload. Overloading the platform may cause 
components to fail due to a breakage of mechanical components during operation. This 
can result in serious or fatal injuries, serious damage to property, and voiding of the 
warranty.
