Why doesn't a crane with a capacity of 30 tons always move the said 30 tons?

Cranes are commonly named for their capacity, under minimum radius and boom conditions. However, in practice most services are performed at a certain distance and height, which reduces the capacity of the machine. Technically, the combination between these 3 variables is represented through a table or a diagram, called a load diagram. In addition, cranes are limited to 75% of their capacity for safety reasons, in compliance with current European standards.
