What is meant by the lifting or rated capacity of the telehandler and determines it?

The lifting or rated capacity of a telehandler refers to the maximum weight it can safely lift and carry at a specific load center, typically measured at a standard distance from the front of the machine. This capacity is determined by the manufacturer's design and engineering specifications, taking into account factors such as the machine's stability, structural integrity, and the distribution of weight when lifting. It's crucial for operators to adhere to this capacity to ensure safety and prevent accidents.
