FIG. 4D: LM-EBT – 4k, 6k & 8k Centers of Gravity and Maximum Load
Ratings for Varying Load Attachment Point and Boom Extension
Combinations
The center of gravity of the boom changes as boom length changes. As shown in the diagram
below, the horizontal center of gravity may be located at any point from RHCG to EHCG:
• Retracted horizontal center of gravity (RHCG): boom fully retracted and unloaded. RHCG is measured
from the “origin point” of the above diagram (edges of the fork pockets);
• Extended horizontal center of gravity (EHCG): boom fully extended and unloaded. EHCG is also
measured from the “origin point” of the above diagram (edges of the fork pockets);
• All other combinations of boom extension and load position produce a horizontal center of gravity
located somewhere between RHCG and EHCG.
