lifting capacity
Maximum load bearable
Lifting capacity is the maximum weight a device, vehicle, or structure can safely raise or support.
Cranes, forklifts, and helicopters are rated by their lifting capacity.
The term applies to human capability too: He's been training to increase his lifting capacity.
Exceeding lifting capacity risks equipment failure or injury.
