ltems a) to m) where applicable may be added to the relevant load chart for pick and carry operations.6.3 Load chart
6.3.1 Load chart for lifting attachments
For each combination truck and lifting attachment, the load chart for suspended loads shall be providedaccording to 4.2.1.
6.3.2 Load chart for connection point for lifting accessories
The truck shall be fitted with a load chart showing the actual load lifting capacities in the connection pointat different boom angles and reach.
6.3.3 Marking
The maximum load lifting capacity of the truck at the connection point shall be clearly and permanentlymarked in proximity of the connection point, according to 4.3.3.
This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request M/396 Mandate to CEN and CENELEC for Standardisation in the field of machinery to provide one voluntary means of conforming to essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 95/16/EC (recast).
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive and associated EFTA regtilations.
