* Limited by hydraulic rather than tipping load.

Lift capacity ratings are based on ISO 10567:2007, they do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load. The load point is the center line of the bucket pivot mounting pin on the stick. The oscillating
axle must be locked. Lifting capacities are based on the machine standing on a firm uniform supporting surface and the Variable Boom Cylinder adjusted to the maximum length. For lifting capacity including bucket and/or
quick coupler, the respective weight has to be subtracted from above values. The use of a work tool attachment point to handle/lift objects, could affect the machine lift performance.
Always refer to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for specific product information.
