The bucket loading capacity (or SAE volume) allows calculating the weight of material
handled in the bucket (in case of full buckets) and it takes into account the extra weight caused
by the dome piling of certain materials.To determine the weight of materials handled, make the
Weight of materials (kg) = Load Capacity (L) x Density

•
These accessories are given for 1.8 density materials with a full bucket forming a dome in ac-
cordance with ISO standard 7451. For particular operations or with materials of different densi-
ties (partial bucket filling due to fluid products such as mud) larger buckets may be used.

In this case it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the machine stability limit is not
exceeded. The machine could tip over, which could cause serious physical injuries and extensive
material damage.
