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 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.
This document applies to all hydraulic excavators and backhoes that are either crawler mounted or rubber tire mounted, with or without outrigger members, identified in SAE J1116 as earthmoving machines and defined in SAE J/ISO 6165.
This standard applies to hydraulically operated backhoes (as defined in SAE J1116) This standard describes a uniform "over end" and "full swing arc" lifting capacity rating for backhoes. It is based on the actual capacity of the machine to lift and support a load under stable conditions. Rated lift capacities will be specified for both the boom and the dipperstick and will be shown on a lift capacity chart Figure 1.
This standard applies to hydraulic excavators which are either crawler or rubber-tire mounted, with or without outrigger members. (An excavator is defined as "a self-propelled machine with an upper structure capable of continuous rotation and which digs, elevates, swings, and dumps material by action of the boom and arm or telescoping boom with bucket.")
This Recommended Practice applies to mobile hydraulic excavators which are either crawler or wheel mounted, with or without outrigger members. (A mobile hydraulic excavator is defined as “a self-propelled machine with an upper structure capable of continuous rotation and which digs, elevates, swings, and dumps material by action of the boom and arm or telescoping boom with bucket.”)
This document applies to all hydraulic excavators and backhoes that are either crawler mounted or rubber tire mounted, with or without outrigger members, identified in SAE J1116 as earthmoving machines and defined in SAE J1057.
This standard applies to hydraulically operated backhoes (see SAE J49). This standard describes a uniform "over end" and "full swing arc" lifting capacity rating for backhoes. It is based on the actual capacity of the machine to lift and support a load under stable conditions. Rated lift capacities will be specified for both the boom and the dipperstick and will be shown on a lift capacity chart Figure 1.
