Load Suspension Device - Kubota U48-4 Operation Instruction Manual

Lifting capacity of the excavator

Load suspension device

Assumed is a load suspension device with all the characteristics listed below.
The system must withstand a load two-and-a-half-times its rated lifting load, irrespective of the point at which
!
that load is applied.
The system must be designed in such a way as to practically exclude any objects which have been lifted falling
!
from the lifting attachment, for example by means of a protective attachment designed for this purpose.
The system must not allow the lifting attachment to slip from the implement to be lifted.
!
Do not lift loads which exceed the values indicated in the lifting capacity tables.
STOP
Always observe the maximum permissible lifting capacity of the hoisting gear (e.g. load hooks). The
STOP
lifting of loads over the maximum permissible lifting capacity is not allowed.
The values given in the tables apply only to level and hard grounds. When working on soft ground,
the machine can tip over easily, as the load is concentrated on one side only and the track or the
STOP
dozer can dig into the ground.
The values given in the tables apply only for loads without bucket. If a bucket is used, the weight of
the bucket must be subtracted from the values in the tables. The weight of mounted accessories (e.g.
STOP
clamp kit, quick release coupling, etc.) must be subtracted from the lifting capacity.
It is not allowed to swing the boom during lifting operation. The whole machine could tilt!
