1.3. Snowy Terrain and Machine Selection

Try these first

1. 1.

   What type of machine is better in snowy terrain?

   Hint

   Think about traction and surface contact.

2. 2.

   What should you check for before selecting machinery?

   Hint

   Consider safety and fuel types.

3. 3.

   What effect does high wind velocity have on crane operation?

   • It increases lifting capacity
   • It decreases lifting capacity
   • It has no effect

   Hint

   Think about safety when winds are strong.

4. 4.

   True or False: Rubber-tired machines perform best in snowy terrains.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider machine traction on ice and snow.

5. 5.

   Evaluate a construction site with frequent snowfall and muddy conditions. Which machines would be best suited, and why?

   Hint

   Focus on the link between machine types and terrain.

6. 6.

   Design a lifting plan for a construction site during a windy season. How would you ensure safety and efficiency in crane operations?

   Hint

   Safety measures should always come first.
