Note: R
 ated Payload is the material weight in the bucket that the loader is designed to carry, excluding the weight of the bucket, GET, and wear material.
Rated Payloads are published at 100%, even though Caterpillar does allow 110%. These values are given in terms of mass. There is no consideration to loose
density weights of various materials since they are so diverse. Refer to Large Wheel Loader Payload Policy.
