5.3 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.
WARNING
Never use an attachment without the appropriate JLG approved capacity chart
installed on the telehandler.
