The lift capacities are stated in metric tonnes (t) on the lifting gear’s stick tip, and can be lifted 360° on firm, level supporting surface. Values quoted
in brackets are valid for the undercarriage when in longitudinal position. Capacities are valid for 750 mm wide triple grouser pads. Indicated loads
are based on ISO 10567 standard and do not exceed 75 % of tipping or 87 % of hydraulic capacity (indicated via #). Lifting capacity of the exca-
vator is limited by machine stability and hydraulic capacity.
When lifting loads, the hydraulic excavator must be equipped with automatic check valve on its hoist cylinders and overload warning device
according to European Standard, EN 474-5.
