Load Chart - Snorkel SR9244 Operator And Maintenance Manual

LOAD CHART

The load chart is purely indicative since every machine has that of the specific model. The
machine's actual load chart is shown in the quick guide inside the cabin.
The load chart consists of a grid defined by a horizontal axis which indicates the length of the boom
extension (unit of measurement expressed in metres or feet) and a vertical axis which shows the lifting
height reached by the kinematics of the machine (unit of measurement expressed in metres or feet).
The grid is crossed by a number of inclined lines (with an angle range from 0° to 70°) which represents the
angle of inclination with respect to the horizontal plane reached by the lifted boom.
A number of letters appear at the line of maximum inclination reached by the boom (70°), which
correspond to the letters visible from the driver's seat on the side wall of the boom extension and these
represent the "extension", that is the measurement of the extensions.
The curved lines that start from the letters and end on the horizontal axis of the load diagram allow the
dimensions expressed by the letter to be converted into metres or feet of the length reached by the
telescopic boom.
The intersection of the minimum and maximum inclination lines of the boom with the curves
corresponding to the minimum and maximum boom extension, delimit the machine work area.
This work area is divided into a number of coloured sectors, each of which represents a different lifting
capacity expressed in kilograms or pounds.
