Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose a construction site requires lifting weights of varying sizes at different heights. You need to choose between a lattice boom crane and a telescopic boom crane. Analyze the situation and provide a recommendation based on site conditions, lifting needs, and cost implications.

💡 Hint: Consider practicality of access, potential weight reduction, and project duration.

Question 2

A lattice boom crane has a safe working load of 25 tons and the telescopic boom has a safe working load of 15 tons. If you needed to lift a load of 18 tons, which crane would you select and why? What considerations should be taken into account?

💡 Hint: Think in terms of capacity limits and the project’s specific lifting requirements.
