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 machines which are designed to raise, lower, and carry pipe and loads of similar nature. The term pipelayer does not include tractors or loaders with side booms which are optional attachments, manufacturer or dealer-installed, to machines as defined in SAE J1057. Note: Some related standards will apply equally to pipelayers and to tractors and loaders with side boom. Two such standards are SAE J743 and ANSI B30.14.
