5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is SWL?
Think about what safety means in lifting operations.
What happens at greater operational radii?
Consider how distance affects stability.
What is the primary factor affecting a crane's safe working load?
Consider how load position impacts safety.
True or False: The safe working load increases with distance from the base of the crane.
What happens when the load moves further away?
A tower crane has a boom length of 40 meters. The load being lifted is 12 tons at a radius of 30 meters. If the counterweights at the base help counter this load, how would you calculate expectations for the crane’s stability?
Utilize the SWL formula for your calculations.
If a construction site experiences wind speeds of up to 80 km/h, what steps should be taken in relation to crane operations and calculations?
Consider the necessary safety protocols during high wind conditions.
