A load chart is a table or graph that shows how much weight a machine can safely lift or carry under different conditions. It’s most commonly used for lifting machines like cranes, forklifts, and hoists.
𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚
A load chart tells the maximum safe load based on factors like:
𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 (𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐬) 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞
𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭
𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡
𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
If the operator lifts more than the chart allows, the machine can tip over or fail, so it’s an important safety tool.
Example (Crane)
For a crane:
If the boom is short and close, it can lift more weight.
If the boom is long and far away, it can lift less weight
