Static tipping loads and operating weight are based on the following loader
configuration: L3 Michelin XHA tires, air conditioning, ride control, power
train guard, full fluids, fuel tank, coolant, lubricants, and operator.
Specifications and ratings conform to the following standards: SAE* J1197,
SAE J732, CEN** EN 474-3.
The rated operating load for a loader equipped with a pallet fork is deter-
mined by:
• SAE J1197: 50% of full turn static tipping load or hydraulic limit.
• CEN EN 474-3: 60% of full turn static tipping load on rough terrain or
hydraulic limit.
• CEN EN 474-3: 80% of full turn static tipping load on firm and level ground
or hydraulic limit.

*SAE — Society of Automotive Engineers
**CEN — European Committee for Standardization
†Rated load is determined by considering % of machine stability, hydraulic lift capacity, and hydraulic tilt capacity. Please contact your dealer to properly select
the machine configuration for handling target payloads in your specific machine application.
