Question

please select the best answer.

select whether the telehandler is stable or unstable based on the lifting scenario:

load weight: 3,000 lbs
horizontal extension: 40 feet
boom angle: 8°

stable
unstable

Explanation:

Locate coordinates on the load chart

Find the intersection of the horizontal extension of \(40\text{ ft}\) (on the horizontal axis) and the boom angle of \(8^\circ\) (interpolated between the \(0^\circ\) and \(10^\circ\) radial lines).

Determine the maximum capacity at this point

The intersection point lies within the leftmost zone of the load chart. The capacity limit labeled for this zone (extending up to \(40\text{ ft}\) horizontally) is \(3,000\text{ lbs}\) (\(1,361\text{ kg}\)).

Compare load weight to capacity

$$ \text{Load Weight} = 3,000\text{ lbs} \le \text{Maximum Capacity} = 3,000\text{ lbs} $$

Since the load weight does not exceed the rated capacity limit for this configuration, the operation is stable.

Answer:

• Stable (Correct answer)
• Unstable
