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.
