What is the tonnage capacity of an FRS?

• A. 5.5 ton
• B. 3.0 ton
• C. 10 ton
• D. 2.5 ton

Answer: (A)

Tonnage capacity is the maximum load a piece of equipment can safely lift or carry, defined by its design, structure, hydraulics, and a built‑in safety margin. For an FRS, this rating comes from how strong the frame is, how much load the hydraulic system and joints can handle, and how stable the unit remains when moving or lifting.

In this case, the FRS is specified to handle up to 5.5 tons. That means loads at or below 5.5 tons can be moved under normal operating conditions with the intended safety factors, while heavier lifts would require different equipment or configurations to stay safe. The other numbers would either undersell the safe working capacity or exceed what the system is designed to handle in standard use, which is why 5.5 tons is the correct capacity.
