Question 1

What does the term 'tipping load' refer to?

  • The maximum load a crane can lift
  • The load causing the crane to tip
  • The weight of the crane itself

💡 Hint: Think of the weight limits associated with crane operation.

Question 2

True or False: The stabilizing moment only accounts for the crane’s weight.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember to think about what contributes to stability.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

For a crane with a tipping load of 25 tons, operating radius of 40 feet, and a boom weight of 8 tons, calculate the total weight including all factors that must not exceed to prevent tipping.

💡 Hint: Think about how the total tipping load is allocated among various components.

Question 2

A crane has a stabilizing moment of 60 tons. If it lifts a load of 15 tons with a boom weight of 4 tons, what additional equipment should be accounted for to maintain balance?

💡 Hint: Remember to add up all contributions to the weight affecting the tipping moment.
