What should I check on a load chart before lifting with a telehandler?

The load chart shows the maximum safe lifting capacity at different combinations of boom extension and elevation angle, and capacity decreases significantly as the boom extends further out or lifts higher. Operators must check the actual reach and height needed for a specific lift against the chart before attempting it, rather than estimating capacity visually. Exceeding the rated capacity at any given reach is a leading cause of tip-over incidents. Sparkline Group provides load chart briefings as part of equipment handover to ensure operators understand the specific machine's limits.
