      Lift charts allow customers to compare lift capacities of different brands and models of backhoes. The numbers in the charts are always less than the actual, tested lift capacity of the backhoe.

      If the backhoe lift for a particular height is limited by the hydraulic system (relief pressure), the actual lift capacity will be 15% higher than the number on the chart. If, during the test, the vehicle becomes unstable (the front wheels come off the ground), the actual lift capacity is 33% greater than the number on the chart. If the capacity is limited by stability, this must be clearly stated on the chart.

      Each chart has two arc lines on a grid. The longer arc shows boom lift capacity; the shorter arc shows dipper lift capacity. All tests are conducted with a backhoe bucket installed and in the fully open (dump) position.

      When testing boom lift capacity, the dipper is positioned all the way out and a weight or measuring device is attached to the bucket hinge pin. The boom cylinder is then used to lift the weight vertically with the force being recorded every two feet.

      When testing dipper lift capacity, the boom is set in the transport position without the lock engaged, or to an angle specified by the manufacturer. The boom is kept in this position for all dipper tests. The weight or measuring device is again attached to the bucket hinge pin point. The dipper cylinder is then used to lift the weight and record the force every two feet.

      Example: The LB555E boom lift capacity on the chart is shown as 2,440 lbs. at "0" feet. This means the actual lift force of the boom cylinder is 2,806 lbs.
