It is Gradall Policy to continually improve its products. Therefore designs, materials and
specifications are subject to change without notice and without incurring any liability on
units already sold. Units shown may have optional equipment.
The machine must be on a firm, level surface
with outriggers completely extended and lowered
when making a lift.
The shorter the load radius, the greater the lift
capacity. Position the unit to minimize boom
extension and swing while keeping adequate
distance from obstructions.
