5.4 TELEHANDLER/ATTACHMENT/FORK CAPACITY

Prior to installing the attachment verify it is approved and the telehandler is equipped with the proper capacity chart. See “Approved Attachments” on page 5-1.

To determine the maximum capacity of the telehandler and attachment, use the smallest of the following capacities:

• Capacity stamped on the attachment identification plate (1).

• Fork capacities and load centers are stamped on the side of each fork (2) (if equipped). This rating specifies the maximum load capacity that the individual fork can safely carry at the maximum load center (3). Total attachment capacity is multiplied by the number of forks on the attachment (if equipped), up to the maximum capacity of the attachment.

• Maximum capacity as indicated on the proper capacity chart. See “Approved Attachments” on page 5-1.

• When the load rating of the telehandler differs from the capacity of the forks or attachment, the lower value becomes the overall load capacity.

Use the proper capacity chart to determine maximum capacity at various machine configurations. Lifting and placing a load may require use of more than one capacity chart based on machine configuration.

Other than block forks, all forks should be used in matched pairs, block forks used in matched sets.

Never use an attachment without the appropriate JLG approved capacity chart installed on the telehandler.
