NOTES FOR RUBBER CAPACITIES

1. Capacities do not exceed 85% of tipping loads as determined by test in accordance with SAE J-765.
2. Capacities are applicable to machines equipped with :
Cold Inflation
2.5 MPH
14:00 x 24 (20 ply)
115 PSI
110 PSI
20.5 x 25 (20 ply)

80 PSI

65 PSI

3. Defined Arc Over front includes +/- 6 on either side of longitudinal centerline of machine.
4. Capacities appearing above bold line are based on structural strength and tipping should not be relied upon
as a capacity limitation
5. Capacities are applicable only with machine on a firm level surface.
6. On rubber lifting with jib not permitted.
7. For pick and carry operation, boom must be centered over front of machine and mechanical swing lock
engaged. When handling loads in the structural range with capacities close to maximum ratings, travel
should be reduced to creep speed and load restrained from swinging.
8. Axle lockouts must be functioning before lifting on rubber. (Check automatic lockout system for proper
functioning: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual for description of a proper functioning axle
lockout system).
9. All lifting depends on proper tire inflation, capacity and condition. Capacities must be reduced for lower
tire inflation pressures. See lifting capacity chart for tire used. Damaged tires are hazardous to safe
operation of crane.
10. Lifting loads at close radii directly over the operators compartment is not recommended.

23' (7.1 m) tele jib length may be used for double line lifting service. 33' (10.1 m) and 38' (11.6 m) jib lengths may be
used for single line lifting service only. Capacities are based on structural strength of 23' - 38' (7.1 - 11.6 m) tele jib
at a given main boom angle regardless of main boom length.
WARNING: Operation of machine with heavier loads than the capacities listed strictly prohibited. Machine tipping
with jib occurs rapidly and without advance warning.
Capacities listed are with fully extended outriggers only.
WARNING: Lifting on rubber with jib is prohibited.
Reference radii listed are for fully extended boom only 70' (21.2 m).

LIFTING CAPACITY NOTES

GENERAL:
1. Rated loads as shown on lift chart pertain to this machine as originally manufactured and
equipped. Modifications to the machine or use of optional equipment other than that specified can
result in a reduction of capacity.
2. Construction equipment can be hazardous if improperly operated or maintained. Operation and
maintenance of this machine shall be in compliance with the information in the operator's, parts,
and safety manuals supplied with this machine. If these manuals are missing, order replacements
from the manufacturer through the distributor.
3. The operator and other personnel associated with this machine shall fully acquaint themselves
with the latest applicable American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Safety Standards for
cranes.
SETUP:
1. The machine shall be leveled on a firm supporting surface. Depending on the nature of the
supporting surface, it may be necessary to have structural supports under the outrigger floats or
tires to spread the load to a larger bearing surface.
2. For outrigger operation, outriggers shall be fully extended with tires raised free of crane weight
before operating the boom or lifting loads.
3. If machine is equipped with front jack cylinder, the front jack cylinder shall be set in accordance
with written procedure.
4. If machine is equipped with extendable counterweight, the counterweight shall be fully extended
before operation.
5. Tires shall be inflated to the recommended pressure before lifting on rubber.
6. With certain boom and hoist tackle combinations, maximum capacities may not be obtainable
with standard cable lengths.
OPERATION:
1. Rated loads at rated radius shall not be exceeded. Do not tip the machine to determine allowable
loads. For clamshell or concrete bucket operation, weight of bucket and load must not exceed
80% of rated lifting capacities.
2. Rated loads do not exceed 85% of the tipping load as determined by SAE Crane Stability Test
Code J-765a.
3. Rated loads include the weight of hook block, slings and auxiliary lifting devices and their weights
shall be subtracted from the listed ratings to obtain the net load to be lifted.
4. Load ratings are based on freely suspended loads. No attempt shall be made to move a load
horizontally on the ground in any direction.
5. Rated loads do not account for wind on lifted load or boom. It is recommended when wind velocity
is above 20 mph (32 km/h), rated loads and boom lengths shall be appropriately reduced.
6. Rated loads are for lift crane service only.

RT58D

7. Do not operate at a radius or boom length where capacities are not listed. At these
positions, the machine may overturn without any load on the hook.
8. The maximum load which can be telescoped is not definable because of variations in loadings
and crane maintenance, but it is sate to attempt retraction and extension within the limits of the
capacity chart.
9. When either boom length or radius or both are between values listed, the smallest
load shown at either the next larger radius or boom length shall be used.
10. For safe operation, the user shall make due allowances for his particular job conditions, such as:
soft or uneven ground, out of level conditions, high winds, side loads, pendulum action, jerking or
sudden stopping of loads, hazardous conditions, experience of personnel, two machine lifts,
traveling with loads, electric wires, etc. Side pull on boom or jib is extremely dangerous.
11. Power telescoping boom sections must be extended equally at all times.
12. Handling of personnel from the boom is not authorized except with equipment furnished and
installed by Grove Manufacturing Company.
13. Keep load handling devi ces a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) below boom head when
lowering or extending boom.
14. Loaded boom angles give an approximation of the operating radius at specified boom
lengths. The boom angle before loading should be greater to account for deflection.
15. Capacities appearing above bold line are based on structural strength and tipping should
not be relied upon as a capacity limitation.
16. Capacities for 28 ft. (8.6 m) boom length shall be lifted with the boom fully retracted. If boom is
not fully retracted, capacities shall not exceed those shown for the 34 ft. (10.4 m) boom length.
17. Lifting loads at close radii directly over the operator's compartment is not recommended.
DEFINITIONS:
1. Operating Radius: Horizontal distance from a projection of the axis of rotation to the supporting
surface before loading to the center of the vertical hoist line or tackle with load applied.
2. Loaded Boom Angle (Shown in Parenthesis on Main Boom Capacity Chart): is the angle between
the boom base section and the horizontal, after lifting the rated load at the rated radius.
3. Working Area: Areas measured in a circular arc about the center line of rotation as shown on the
working area diagram.
4. Freely Suspended Load: Load hanging free with no direct external force applied except by
the lift cable.
