*Indicates that the load is limited by hydraulic lifting capacity rather than tipping load.
The above loads are in compliance with hydraulic excavator lift capacity standard ISO 10567:2007. They do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75%
of tipping load. Weight of all lifting accessories must be deducted from the above lifting capacities. Lifting capacities are based on the machine standing on a firm,
uniform supporting surface. The use of a work tool attachment point to handle/lift objects, could affect the machine lift performance.
Always refer to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for specific product information.
