Where should load charts be displayed?

Load charts must be clearly displayed on the machine at all times to ensure that operators can easily reference the specific lifting capacities and limitations for that equipment. This visibility allows operators to quickly assess the safe operating conditions without needing to consult additional materials or manuals, which might not be immediately available in a dynamic work environment.

Having the load chart mounted on the machine itself minimizes the risk of errors in load handling and improves safety on the job. If the load chart were only in the operator's manual or in their pocket, it could lead to delays in checking capacities, especially in urgent situations where a quick reference is required. Ensuring that it is part of the machine's constant setup enables compliance with safety regulations and promotes better operational efficiency.
