Telehandler/Attachment/Fork Capacity - JLG G5-18A Operation Manual

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.
