Description / Abstract:
This standard applies to hydraulically operated backhoes (as
defined in SAE J1116)
This standard describes a uniform "over end" and "full swing
arc" lifting capacity rating for backhoes. It is based on the
actual capacity of the machine to lift and support a load under
stable conditions.
Rated lift capacities will be specified for both the boom and
the dipperstick and will be shown on a lift capacity chart Figure
1.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to provide a uniform method of
rating hydraulic backhoe lift capacities.
