Min: Minimum MEWP weight (Unloaded platform, no options/attachments)
Max: Maximum MEWP weight (Platform loaded to capacity with options/attachments)
Wheel is the weight that can be experienced on one wheel
Note: This is more than 25% of the machine weight due to possible weight distribution over the machine and
LCP: Local Concentrated Pressure is a measure of how hard the MEWP presses on the area in direct contact
OFL: Overall Floor Load (Pressure) is a measure of the average load the MEWP imparts on the whole
surface directly underneath the chassis. This has been calculated by dividing the MEWP weight by the
overall floor area occupied by the MEWP (on wheels).
Note: The floor covering (e.g., tile, carpet, etc.) or the structure (e.g., beams) of the operating surface must
be able to withstand more than the values indicated above.
NOTE
The LCP or OFL that an individual surface can withstand varies from structure to structure and is
generally determined by the engineer or architect for that particular structure.
