The operator is equipped with a load chart which helps determine whether a given task is possible, taking into account weight, boom angle and height. Failing that, most telehandlers now utilize a computer, which uses sensors to monitor the vehicle, and will warn the operator and/or cut off further control input if the limits of the vehicle are ...
Furthermore, achieving a high degree of accuracy (less than 100 yd (91 m)) requires the aircraft to fly at the lowest altitude possible, which can range from 400 ft (122 m) above ground level to as high as 1,500 ft (457 m), depending on the altitude of the drop zone, the weight of the load, and the number and type of parachutes required.
A Safe Load Indicator (SLI) or an Automatic Safe Load Indicator (ASLI) is a device which is installed on mobile or portal cranes to alert the operator if the lift is exceeding the safe operating range of the machinery. [1] In some cases, the device will physically lock the machinery in circumstances it determines to be unsafe.

The Military Load Classification (MLC) is a system of standards used by NATO to classify the safe amount of load a surface can withstand. Load-carrying capacity is shown in whole numbers for vehicles, bridges, roads, and routes. Vehicles are classified by weight, type, and effect on routes.
The "South" (running down) Peachtree was founded in 1970 and has been the world's largest 10k race, [1] [2] since the late 1970s. [3] The race has become a citywide tradition in which over 70,000 amateur and professional runners try to register for one of the limited 60,000 spots.
The Palletized Load System (PLS) is a truck-based logistics system that entered service in the United States Army in 1993. It performs long and short distance freight transport , unit resupply, and other missions in the tactical environment to support modernized and highly mobile combat units.
In a power system, a load curve or load profile is a chart illustrating the variation in demand/electrical load over a specific time. Generation companies use this information to plan how much power they will need to generate at any given time. A load duration curve is similar to a load curve. The information is the same but is presented in a ...
