What the specifications mean
The published 510-56 values remain attached to their stated configuration and rating basis.
510-56; standard 17.5-25 tires, lowered/retracted boom, carriage fitted, forks excluded from length; stabilizers stowed where fitted.
An individual machine must be verified by serial/PIN, installed equipment and actual measurements.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used 510-56 inspection priorities
- Inspect boom sections, pads, chains, cylinders and carriage locking components.
- Verify steering modes, frame levelling, stabilizers and load-management systems.
- Match the installed carriage, forks and tires to the applicable load chart.
- Match the 510-56 model plate, fitted equipment and serial/PIN to the cited generation and configuration.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Boom wear, tires, axles, steering and load-management systems shape repair exposure.
- Carriage and attachment choice can alter capacity and the applicable load chart.
- Transport, site ground conditions and inspection requirements belong in the cost plan.

Attachment considerations
Relationships below identify relevant classes only unless a stronger evidence state is shown. They never assert exact used-attachment fitment.
Fork carriages and forks
Verify carriage interface, fork class, load chart, load centre.
Open attachment researchBuckets and approved work tools
Verify manufacturer approval, attachment weight, applicable load chart.
Open attachment researchWork platforms
Verify manufacturer authorization, personnel-platform rules, machine controls and load chart.
Open attachment researchBefore confirming fitment
- generation and machine configuration
- mounting interface, coupler or pin geometry
- hydraulic flow, pressure, return and case drain
- attachment weight and machine capacity limits
- electrical controls or required machine options
Model-reference transport profile
Transport reference
Reference measurements retain their configuration and verification status. Confirm the actual transport setup before booking.
Measurement basis: 510-56; standard 17.5-25 tires, lowered/retracted boom, carriage fitted, forks excluded from length; stabilizers stowed where fitted.
Reference specifications can differ from the actual configured machine. Confirm dimensions and weight before booking transportation.
Confirm or replace before a transport request
- actual weight
- actual travel length, width and height
- attachments and removable work tools
- bucket, blade, carriage or boom position
- loading condition
