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 above loads are in compliance with hydraulic excavator lift capacity standard ISO 10567:2007 . They do not exceed 87% of hydraulic lifting capacity or 75% of tipping load . Weight of all lifting accessories must be deducted from the above lifting capacities . Lifting capacities are based on the machine standing on a 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 from our products . Use of work tools, including buckets, which are outside of Caterpillar’s recommendations 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/or catching of heavy loads will reduce the life of the boom and stick.
