Question: When operating a telehandler, the load chart typically displays capacities based on which primary factors related to boom position?

Answer options: ✅ Boom angle and forward reach.

  • Boom extension speed and boom lower speed.
  • Ground pressure and tire inflation.
  • Engine RPM and hydraulic fluid temperature.

Correct answer: Boom angle and forward reach.

Explanation: Load charts for telehandlers are fundamentally designed to show the safe lifting capacities based on two crucial parameters for boom position: the boom angle (vertical angle relative to horizontal) and the forward reach (horizontal distance from the front wheels to the centre of the load). These factors directly influence stability and overturning moment, as per CSA B354.7.
