No. The Onchtech SSL-16RT’s 40% gradeability applies only with the platform stowed. It does not mean the equipment can operate on the same slope with the platform raised.

Stowed gradeability and operating tilt are different limits

  • 40% gradeability: Applies only when the platform is stowed, not to elevated operation on that slope.
  • Maximum allowable operating tilt: 2°/3°. The applicable conditions must be checked in the equipment manual.

Before elevated operation: Consult the SSL-16RT equipment manual for the conditions governing the 2°/3° operating tilt limit. Do not use the 40% gradeability rating as the allowable slope for operation with the platform raised.
