What does 'u' represent in crane operations?
Think about the parts of a crane.

It connects how far the load is from the crane.
What is the primary purpose of outriggers in crane operations?
Consider what happens when a crane is lifted.
True or False: The maximum lifting capacity of a crane increases with increased operating radius.
Think about how a load's position changes.
A lattice boom crane has a tipping load of 300 tons and operates under a guideline recommending 75% maximum load. Calculate the Safe Working Load and justify why understanding this is critical.
Remember to apply the percentage given correctly.
If a telescopic boom crane is incorrectly used without outriggers on an incline, and it has a rated capacity of 100 tons, what is the reduced lifting capacity? Explain how this demonstrates the importance of using outriggers.
Consider what outriggers do to enhance stability.
