Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A crane must lift a 10,000 kg load to a height of 50 meters from a point that is 25 meters away from the center of rotation. Determine the minimum boom length required using the range diagram, and describe the safety measures to consider during this operation.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to consider all parameters when making your calculations.
If the load moment indicator warns you of an overload during a lift, explain the immediate steps you would take as the operator to ensure safety.
💡 Hint: Think about what safety protocols to follow when alerted.
