SAE J2518-2019 PDF

Scope: This SAE Standard provides a uniform method to calculate the lift capacity of scrap and material handlers@ establishes definitions and specifies machine conditions for the calculations. This document applies to scrap and material handlers as defined in SAE J2506 that have a 360 degrees continuous rotating upper structure. It does not apply to equipment that is incapable of lifting a load completely off the ground. This document applies to those machines that are crawler@ wheel@ rail and pedestal or stationary mounted. Purpose The purpose of this SAE document is to establish a consistent@ repeatable means of determining the lift capacity for the types of equipment contained therein. Applicability Lift capacity calculations and the resulting rated lift capacity chart are developed by the equipment manufacturer or the entity that assembles and or modifies basic components to produce the complete machine for each machine model that is produced.
