Question 1

What is the main reason cranes have a safe working load limit?

  • To make the crane easier to use
  • To ensure the crane remains stable and avoids tipping
  • To increase the speed of operations

💡 Hint: Consider the balance between loads and stability.

Question 2

True or False: The further the load line is from the center of the crane, the more stable it becomes.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between distance and safety.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A crane is rated to lift a maximum of 100 tons at a minimum operating radius of 25 ft. If the radius increases to 35 ft, calculate the expected lifting capacity and discuss any safety measures.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the relationship between radius and capacity.

Question 2

During a crane operation, the ground is found to be unstable. How should safety protocols change, and what adjustments can be made in crane operations?

💡 Hint: Think about the crane's environment and necessary adjustments.
