Reach Boom Lift Capacities – Counterweight: 4.2 mt (9,300 lb) – without Bucket,Heavy Lift: On

* Indicates that the load is limited by hydraulic lifting capacity rather than tipping load . The aboveloads are in compliance with hydraulic excavator lift capacity standard ISO 10567:2007 . They do notexceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load . Weight of all lifting accessories mustbe deducted from the above lifting capacities . Lifting capacities are based on the machine standing ona firm, uniform supporting surface . The use of a work tool attachment point to handle/lift objects,could affect the machine lift performance .

Lift capacity stays with ±5% for all available track shoes .

Always refer to the appropriate Operation and Maintenance Manual for specific product information .

Bucket Specifications and Compatibility

Caterpillar recommends using appropriate work tools to maximize the value customers receive fromour products . Use of work tools, including buckets, which are outside of Caterpillar’srecommendations or specifications for weight, dimensions, flows, pressures, etc . may result in less-than-optimal performance, including but not limited to reductions in production, stability, reliability,and component durability . Improper use of a work tool resulting in sweeping, prying, twisting and/orcatching of heavy loads will reduce the life of the boom and stick.
