Question: An operator is preparing to lift a 1,200 kg load using a telehandler with a jib attachment. The load centre for this lift, as marked on the jib, is 1.5 metres from the jib's pivot point. The telehandler's load chart, applying to this jib configuration, indicates a maximum capacity of 900 kg at 1.5 metres. What is the appropriate action for the operator?
Answer options:
- Proceed with the lift cautiously, as the telehandler's overall capacity is likely higher. ✅ Use a different telehandler with a higher capacity suited for this load and reach.
- Distribute the load more evenly on the jib to reduce the load centre distance.
- Increase the counterweight on the telehandler to accommodate the extra weight.
Correct answer: Use a different telehandler with a higher capacity suited for this load and reach.
Explanation: The telehandler's load chart for the specific attachment and configuration must never be exceeded (CSA B354.7, OHS regulations). The indicated load of 1,200 kg is greater than the 900 kg capacity at 1.5 metres, making the lift unsafe. A different, higher-capacity machine is required. You cannot increase counterweight.
