I bought a cheap third-party load chart for my old truck crane and it cost me a day's work
I needed a new chart for my 1987 Link-Belt, and a guy online sold me a laminated one for $75, said it was the right model. Got on site for a pick and the numbers were off, like way too high for the radius I was at. I had to stop everything, call the rigging company, and wait for them to confirm with the factory specs. Lost about $800 in pay for that day. Has anyone else gotten burned by a fake or wrong load chart before? How do you check yours?

My shop laminates the factory PDF for $20.

Man that sucks, sorry to hear it. After I got a bad chart once, I started calling the crane manufacturer directly with my serial number. They'll usually email you the right PDF for free, then you can get it printed yourself.
