Question 2.
Name one factor that affects crane stability.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how the crane’s position affects its ability to lift.
3Question 3.
What does the variable 'R' represent in crane equations?
- The crane's weight
- Operating radius
- The load line
Show hintHide hint
Remember the relationship between distance and lifting capacity.
4Question 4.
Using outriggers can double the lifting capacity of a crane.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what outriggers do rather than their effect on the weight.
Question 5.
A crane's tipping load is 120 tons. If it's operating with a safety margin of 75%, what is the man safe working load?
Show hintHide hint
Use the tipping load as a starting point to find the working load.
Question 6.
If two different cranes, a crawler and a truck-mounted crane, are rated at 80 tons and 60 tons respectively, how much load can they lift combined when using outriggers?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how outriggers directly enhance the capacity allowed for lifting.
