Notes to Lifting Capacity

GENERAL

  1. RATED LIFTING CAPACITIES apply only to the machine as originally manufactured and normally equipped by TADANO LTD. Modifications to the machine or use of optional equipment other than that specified can result in a reduction of capacity.
  2. Hydraulic cranes can be hazardous if improperly operated or maintained. Operation and maintenance of this machine must be in compliance with this Operation and Maintenance Manual and any local regulations. Replacement manuals can be ordered from a TADANO distributor or dealer.
  3. The operator and other personnel associated with this machine shall fully acquaint themselves with the applicable crane safety regulations and voluntary standards for the country where the crane will be operated.

SET UP

  1. The rated lifting capacity tables provide the maximum allowable crane capacities and are based on the machine standing level on firm supporting surface under ideal conditions. Depending on the nature of the supporting surface, it may be necessary to have structural supports under the outrigger floats (or under the tires if applicable to your crane) to spread the loads to a larger surface area.
  2. Outriggers must always be properly extended with both pins installed in each and the tires must not be in contact with the supporting ­surface before operating crane.

OPERATION

  1. Rated lifting capacities have been tested to and meet minimum requirements of SAE standard J1063, Cantilevered Boom Crane Structures – Method of Test.
  2. Rated lifting capacities do not exceed 85% of the tipping load with outriggers fully extended as determined by SAE standard J765, Crane Load Stability Test Code. Rated lifting capacities for partially extended outriggers are determined from the following formula: Rated Lifting Capacities = (tipping load -0.1 x tip reaction) / 1.25.
  3. Rated lifting capacities are based on actual load radius increased by boom deflection.
  4. The weight of handling device such as hook blocks, slings, etc., must be included as part of the load and must be deducted from the lifting capacity.
  5. Rated lifting capacities are based on freely suspended loads and make no allowance for such factors as the effects of wind, sudden stopping of loads, supporting surface conditions, outrigger stability, tire inflation pressures (if applicable to your crane), operating speeds, side loads, etc. Side pull on boom or jib is extremely dangerous. Such action can damage the boom, jib or slewing mechanism, and lead to overturning of the crane.
  6. Rated lifting capacities do not account for wind on lifted load or boom. During boom lift, consider that the rated lifting capacity is reduced by 50% when the wind speed is 20 mph to 27 mph and is reduced by 70% when the wind speed is 27 mph to 31 mph. If the wind speed is 31 mph or over, stop operation. During jib lift, stop operation if the wind speed is 20 mph or over.
  7. Never exceed the rated lifting capacity for a given load radius. Do not risk a tip over by attempting to exceed the rated lifting capacity for the machine configuration. Stop lifting and lower the load if any outrigger is not in contact with the ground.
  8. Do not operate at boom lengths, radii, or boom angles, where no capacities are shown in the rated capacity lifting tables. Crane may overturn without any load on the hook.
  9. When boom length is between values listed, refer to the rated lifting capacities of the next longer and next shorter booms for the same radius. Always use the lesser of the two rated lifting capacity values.
  10. When the desired load radius for a lift is between two load radii listed in a lifting capacity table, always use the allowable capacity for the longer radius.
  11. Load per line should not exceed 15,900 lb for main winch and auxiliary winch.
  12. Check that the actual number of parts of line matches with LOAD MOMENT INDICATOR (AML-E2) before operation. Maximum lifting capacity is restricted by the number of parts of line of LOAD MOMENT INDICATOR (AML-E2). Limited capacity is as determined from the following formula: Single line pull for main winch 15,900 lb x number of parts of line.
  13. The boom angle before loading should be greater to account for deflection. For rated lifting capacities, the loaded boom angle and the load radius is for reference only. The 41.0‘ boom length capacities are based on boom fully retracted.
  14. The maximum capacity without boom pin (B-pin) is shown in the rated lifting capacity table.
  15. The ability to telescope loads is limited by several factors including but not limited to: hydraulic pressure, boom angle, boom length, and crane maintenance.
  16. For lifting capacity of single top, deduct the weight of the load handling equipment from the rated lifting capacity of the boom. For the lifting capacity of single top, the net capacity shall not exceed 15,900 lb including the main boom hook mass attached to the boom.
  17. When the base jib, top jib, or both jibs are removed, set the jib state switch to the DISMOUNTED position.
  18. When erecting and stowing jib, always use ropes or straps to prevent jib from moving.
  19. Use “ANTI-TWOBLOCK“ disable switch when erecting and stowing jib and when stowing hook block. While the switch is pushed, the hoist does not stop, even if an overwind condition occurs.
  20. When lifting a load by using jib (auxiliary winch) and boom (main winch) simultaneously, do the following:
    – Enter the operation status as jib operation, not as boom operation.
    – Before starting operation, make sure that mass of load is within rated lifting capacity for jib.
  21. Outriggers shall be fully extended 23‘ 7-1/2“ when installing or removing counterweight.

DEFINITIONS

  1. Load Radius: The horizontal distance between the center of rotation and center of the hook block.
  2. Loaded Boom Angle: The angle between the boom base section and the horizontal, after lifting the rated lifting capacity at the load radius.
  3. Working Area: Area measured in a circular arc about the centerline of rotation.
  4. Freely Suspended Load: Load hanging free with no direct external force applied except by the hoist line.
  5. Side Load: Horizontal side force applied to the lifted load either on the ground or in the air.

Notes for Load Moment Indicator (AML-E2)

  1. Set AML select keys in accordance with the actually operating crane conditions and don‘t fail to make sure, before crane operation, that the displays on front panel are correct.
  2. When operating crane:
    – Set starter switch to “ON“
    – Press the outrigger state select key to register for the outrigger operation. If the display agrees with the actual state, press the set key to register. After the completion of the registration, the display returns to the crane operation status.
    – Press the counterweight state select key to register for the counterweight state. If the display agrees with the actual state, press the set key to register. After the completion of the registration, the display returns to the crane operation status.
    – Press the lift state select key to register the lift state to be used (single top/jib/boom).
    – Each time the lift state select key is pressed, the display changes. If the display agrees with the actual state, press the set key to register. After the completion of the registration, the display returns to the crane operation status.
    – When erecting and stowing jib, select the status of jib set (jib state indicative symbol lights up).
  3. This machine is equipped with an automatic slewing stopping device (for the details, see operation and maintenance manual). But, operate very carefully because the automatic slewing stop does not work in the following cases.
    – When the “AML OVERRIDE“ switch is set to “ON“ and the “Override key switch“ outside the cab is “ON“.
  4. During crane operation, make sure that the displays on front panel are in accordance with actual operating conditions.
  5. The displayed values of LOAD MOMENT INDICATOR (AML-E2) are based on freely suspended loads and make no allowance for such factors as the effect of wind, sudden stopping of loads, supporting surface conditions, operating speed, side loads, etc. For safe operation, it is recommended when extending and lowering boom or slewing, lifting loads shall be appropriately reduced.
  6. LOAD MOMENT INDICATOR (AML-E2) is intended as an aid to the operator. Under no condition should it be relied upon to replace use of capacity charts and operating instruction. Sole reliance upon LOAD MOMENT INDICATOR (AML-E2) aids in place of good operating practice can cause an accident. The operator must exercise caution to assure safety.
  7. The lifting capacity differs depending on the outrigger extension width and slewing position. Work with the capacity corresponding to the outrigger extension width and slewing position. For the relationship among the outrigger extension width, slewing position and lifting capacities, refer to the working area charts.
