Skid steer loader capacity, specifically the Rated Operating Capacity (ROC), is a fundamental specification that defines the maximum safe weight a machine can lift and carry. It is a carefully engineered value determined according to international standards (like ISO 14397) and represents 50% of the machine's tipping load with a specific attachment. This metric is paramount for selecting the right machine for the job, ensuring both safety and efficiency. Shandong Logway Construction Machinery offers a diverse range of models with ROC values designed to meet various operational demands, from light-duty landscaping tasks around 800 lbs to heavy-duty construction applications exceeding 3,500 lbs. It is crucial to understand that the ROC is not a static number; it can be influenced by factors such as the weight of the attachment itself, the load's center of gravity, the lift height, and the machine's stability on a slope. For example, a Logway loader with a 2,200 lb ROC might only safely lift 1,800 lbs when using a heavy pallet fork attachment at full height. Modern Logway loaders are often equipped with Rated Capacity Indicators (RCI), an onboard system that warns the operator when they are approaching or exceeding the safe lift capacity. Understanding your typical load weights—be it pallets of pavers, buckets of gravel, or bales of hay—is the first step in choosing a model with adequate capacity. Our technical team can assist you in analyzing your requirements to recommend a model that provides optimal performance and safety.
