4 of 11 fields shown. Yellow marks the highest value only where each machine has one supported figure. A range means the manufacturer publishes several rows, such as gross and net power or capacity at 35% and 50% of tipping load. Full T66 spec sheet
Numbers you can win an argument with
Brochures bury specs in footnotes and regional editions. Every value here is read from the manufacturer's own PDF or product page, and US and metric views are checked separately, because some rows only appear in one of them.
Configurations stay apart. Solid vs suspension undercarriage, or ROC at 35% vs 50% of tipping load, each keeps its own figure and label.
Grey areas are flagged right next to the number:
- Unresolved
- Published, but it's unclear which configuration or serial range it covers.
- Conflicting
- Two places in the documentation disagree. Both figures are shown.
- 3 figures
- Several documented ratings or configurations. Each one is on the model page with its label.

Before you rely on a figure. Specifications are for comparison and can change. Check the manufacturer source before you buy, transport or lift with a machine.
