As the radius increases, the lifting capacity decreases. This is due to the principle of leverage: the further the weight is from the crane's center of gravity, the more "tipping moment" it creates. Key Components of a Radius Chart
High winds exert side pressure on the boom and the load, creating unpredictable stresses.
The crane radius chart is not just a reference – it is the single most important operational feature for safe lifting. Never lift without reading and following it.
CRANE MODEL: XYZ-50T S/N: 12345 DATE: 2024-01-15 OUTRIGGERS FULLY EXTENDED – LEVEL GROUND – NO WIND
A crane's capacity is not a static number; it is a sliding scale based on physics. What is a Crane Radius Chart?
It is a common misconception that a crane will always tip before it breaks.
