What can a 12t digger lift?

[JNP]

Morning all.

Does anyone know what lifting capacity a 12t digger has? At full height but in close, so not reaching out too far.

Thanks
Phil

Depends on whether the driver is a fatty or not extra counterweight

6t? Think my js130 was meant to lift 7.3t close in.

It may well lift it,but its swl will be a 1000kg and that will depend on check valves being fitted or not,my old doosan 30t only had a swl of 3t when used as a crane as opposed to a digger,

thats right they only have a swl of 1000kg when used as a crane 12t is referring to its all up weight

I had a right going on with the health and safety man,lifted a septic tank off truck with jcb,fine was on a pallet,but wanting to lift it into the hole with 30t digger,no no because I never had a swl stamped on my boom.Had to get it tested and they then put 3t swl on boom and all was well,ridiculous normal 3cx type diggers are only stamped 750kg.Said 30t digger,I did lift an 8t tank with it,and it only just managed was screeching on the valves

SWL means safe working load

SWL means safe working load

AWOL = Any Working Load (as long as the HSE don't drop by)

i have a old jcb 805b, plate in can says swl 1000kg at any radius, but its catable of much more than that

Its designed to lift itself off the ground, so the boom,rams,hydraulics,pins are all rated to over 12ton. the problem is balance

Brother used to drive a cat 320 on sea defense projects, was regularly handling 10ton granite rocks (close in), when I used to go see him, I wondered how the hell it lifted them with a grab on but it did.

After having operated 1.5 to 20 excavators i would Say that if you take bucket off machine you can manage a carefully. Lift over front of tracks a fith of the machine. Weight . But dont expect to lift to far or high

Sweet baby Jesus. You have managed to revive a 10 and a half year old thread.

Remarkable.
