This standard specifies a procedure for approximating the volume of materials contained in the grapple of bucket linkage operated grapples mounted to excavators. The volume ratings are based on the inside dimensions of the grapple and representative volumes extending beyond the grapple. The method employs the technique of dividing the complex shape of the material in the grapple into simple geometric forms to allow volume calculations of different grapple configurations. The rating method is intended to provide a consistent means of comparing grapple capacities. It is not intended to define actual capacities that might be observed in any specific application.

This SAE Standard describes a uniform method to calculate and specify travel performance characteristics of hydraulic excavators, material handlers, knuckle boom log loaders, delimbers, feller bunchers, harvesters, processors, and other knuckle boom material handlers. It establishes definitions and specifies machine conditions for calculations and tests. This document applies to crawler mounted machines such as hydraulic excavators as defined in SAE J/ISO 6165 and ISO 7135, and knuckle boom log loaders as defined in SAE J1209 and SAE J2055. This document also applies to certain forestry equipment defined in SAE J1209 and ISO 6814 that have crawler mountings such as delimbers, feller bunchers, harvesters, and processors. Included in the definition of hydraulic excavators are also front shovel, clamshell, and telescoping boom excavators.

This standard applies to hydraulic excavators as defined in SAE J1057 and J1193.

This standard applies to hydraulic excavators as defined in SAE J1057 and J1193.

This SAE Standard provides a uniform method for calculating and specifying travel performance characteristics of hydrostatically driven crawler mounted hydraulic excavators as defined in SAE J1057.

This recommended practice applies to hydraulic excavators as defined in SAE Standard J1057, which are crawler mounted. It describes the methods for calculating and specifying travel performance characteristics. It does not apply to wheel mounted excavators.
