Load chart
A load chart is a visual tool used mainly in construction and engineering to show the maximum weight or load that a piece of machinery, like a crane, can handle at various angles and extensions. It helps operators understand the safe working limits to prevent accidents or equipment damage. By referring to the load chart, operators can ensure they don't overload the machinery, maintaining safety and efficiency during lifting operations. Essentially, it provides a clear guideline for what loads are safe given different operational conditions.
