Linear between two supplied anchors
At 20 ft, capacity equals “Max Weight.” At the supplied maximum radius, capacity equals “Weight Full Extend.” The tool does not extrapolate.
C(r) = Wmax + ((r − 20) ÷ (Rmax − 20)) × (Wfull − Wmax)

Linear interpolation is not a manufacturer load chart. A qualified lift professional must verify the exact crane, configuration, deductions, ground conditions, wind and total load before any lift.
02 / TRANSPARENT RESULTS
Every model, every decision.
The prototype keeps source values separate from estimated values and shows why each model passes or fails.
Straight-line geometry
Because height is not present in Sheet2, the tool temporarily treats maximum radius as maximum boom length and checks the diagonal distance.
Lrequired = √(height² + radius²)Smallest qualifying ton class
A model qualifies only when it passes radius, diagonal reach, and planning-utilization checks. Qualifying models are ranked by nominal ton class.
load ÷ estimated capacity ≤ planning utilizationHourly rate with minimum time
Rates begin with the supplied April 1, 2026 sheet and can be changed in Pricing settings. The estimate uses the larger of planned hours or the crane minimum.

Source observations
AC167 / AC170 / AC168 share identical values. AC160 / AC140 also share identical values. AC180 and AC200 share a 50-ton label and 20,000 lb maximum weight but differ at full extension.
Confirm before v1
“Tons” is assumed to be US short-ton class because capacities are in pounds. The attached 38124SHL chart shows a 123.5 ft boom, while the 50128SHL material shows a 128 ft boom and a 50-ton rating at 6 ft. Neither maps conclusively to an AC fleet alias, so Sheet2 remains the active approximation. Browse the Giuffre reference fleet.
