FAN 5341208 - Caterpillar

Failure to comply to the rated load can cause possible personal injury or property damage. Review the rated load of a particular work tool before performing any operation. Make adjustments to the rated load as necessary for non-standard configurations.
There may be local regulations and/or government regulations that govern the use of excavators which lift heavy objects. Obey all local and government regulations.Lifting capacities should be used as a guide. Work tools, uneven ground conditions, soft ground conditions, or poor ground conditions have effects on lifting capacities. The operator is responsible for being aware of these effects.The lifting capacities are defined by "ISO 10567 2007". The lifting capacities are defined as the lower value of 75% of the static tipping capacity or 87% of the hydraulic lift capacity.Note: Lifting capacities are based upon a standard machine with the following conditions:
Lift point: Stick nose without bucket
Lubricants full
Fuel tank full
Steel track
Complete cab with a 75 kg (165 lb) operatorLifting capacities will vary with different work tools and attachments. The weight of a work tool attachment must be subtracted from the lift capacity. Consult your Cat dealer regarding the lifting capacities for specific work tools and attachments. This machine may be equipped with various sticks. Lifting capacities may vary between the different sticks. Measure the distance on the stick between the boom hinge pin and the work tool hinge pin. This distance will inform you of the size of the stick that is equipped on the machine.Use the lifting eye that is provided on the stick nose in order to lift objects. When the lifting eye is used, the connection must be made with a sling or shackle. Note: Japan regulations require a shovel crane configuration in order to lift certain objects. A shovel crane has a rated load capacity, therefore, the lift capacities discussed below do not apply to a shovel crane configuration. Contact your Cat dealer for additional information.Note: In European countries, regulations require a load sensing indicator and a boom and stick lowering control device if more than 1000 kg (2200 lb) is lifted during object handling applications. Regulations also require a load sensing indicator and a boom lowering control device if a moment that is greater than 40000 N m (29500 lb ft) is created during object handling applications. If the machine is not equipped with these devices, even if the hydraulic lift capacity is capable, do not exceed a load of 1000 kg (2200 lb). Do not exceed a moment that is greater than 40000 N m (29500 lb ft) in European object handling applications.Symbols Found in the Lifting Capacity Charts
Below are symbols that are commonly found on lifting capacity charts for track excavators.Note: Depending on the machine configuration, some symbols may not be used.
Measurements are provided in millimeters and inches
Lift Capacities are provided in kilograms and pounds
Load is limited by hydraulic lifting capacity rather than by a tipping load
