Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A lattice boom crane has a tipping load of 300 tons and operates under a guideline recommending 75% maximum load. Calculate the Safe Working Load and justify why understanding this is critical.

💡 Hint: Remember to apply the percentage given correctly.

Question 2

If a telescopic boom crane is incorrectly used without outriggers on an incline, and it has a rated capacity of 100 tons, what is the reduced lifting capacity? Explain how this demonstrates the importance of using outriggers.

💡 Hint: Consider what outriggers do to enhance stability.
