Just realized my load chart knowledge was 8 years out of date
Was flipping through a 2024 manual at a job in Tulsa and found out the new Liebherr models rate their lifts at 85% of tipping load now, not 75%, so has anyone else had to relearn their numbers from the old days?

Man, that hit home for me. When I switched crews a few years back, my old numbers were way off too because they'd changed the rating system on the newer models. What finally worked was making my own cheat sheet with the new percentages and sticky notes in the cab until it stuck in my head. It took a few weeks of double checking everything, but now it's second nature. Better to look slow than to lift something wrong, you know?
