Introduction

This is a basic calculation of LifeTrac Prototype IV loader lifting capacity. Warning: this does not include tipping load calculations. The lifting capacity of LifeTrac is significantly greater than its tipping load capacity. Tipping loads need to be calculated.

Basic Model

The LifeTrac Prototype IV loader arm concept looks like this:
