When is it safe to handle loads under powerlines
The load nor any part of the crane can come closer than regulations allow
-
On a lattice boom truck crane, boom angle is measured between the centerline of the
Loaded boom and the horizontal
-
When a lattice boom truck crane is lifting on outriggers, the floats or pads should always be
Secured to the outriggers
-
Manufacturer specifications permit only a certain amount of boom to be suspended out past the connection point of the pendants during assembly or disassembly of the boom. The portion of boom that is suspended in this way is called the
Cantilever length
-
When lattice boom is being disassembled or shortened it is extremely important to
Never touch any pin on any boom section located between the pendant attachment points and the crane
-
When installing a pin-connected lattice boom on a mobile crane you should always
Use the boom hoist pawl to hold the boom
-
When you change the jib to ground angle from 40 degrees to 30 degrees you have
Decreased the capacity of the jib
-
A lattice boom truck crane with a 120 ft boom will be operating at a 42 ft radius. the load chart shows and entry indicating 25,000 lbs at a 40 ft radius, followed immediately by an entry listing 20,000 lbs at a 45 ft radius. what is the cranes capacity at the 42 ft radius
20,000 lbs
-
A truck crane operating with outriggers fully extended and set, does not have a fifth front outrigger, the operator should
Refer to the manufacturers working area diagram
-
A crane that climbs a 7% grande, one mile hill, should descend down the hill in
4th or 5th gear
-
A lattice boom truck crane, when setup out of level, will lose the most capacity with
Long boom, Short radius
-
The device that automatically stops the boom when it nears the maximum angle is the
Boom hoist kick-out
-
When a lattice boom truck crane is operating on properly set outriggers, the tipping axis is located at the
Point where the outriggers touch the ground
-
The purpose of placing mats or cribbing under outrigger floats is to
Distribute the downward force of the float over a larger area
-
A crane loses stability when its leverage on the load is
Less than the load leverage on the crane
-
If a lattice boom truck crane is going to perform work over the front it must have
A front mounted outrigger
-
Each outrigger pad and its blocking should be sufficient to support
The total weight of the crane and its load
-
How does high wind affect the setup of a crane with a long boom
Introduces side load onto the boom
-
When a lattice boom truck crane that is properly set up with no front outrigger and the boom is positioned over the front, the combined center of gravity of the carrier and upperworks will move
Closer to the axis
-
When personnel platforms are lifted with a telescopic crane
A two block damage prevention system is to be provided
-
What item can be removed from a carry deck crane
Boom Extension
-
The lever on the far left of most hydraulic cranes is
Boom swing
-
A telescopic crane is equipped with an anti-two-block lock-out device. then the device is activated which functions should be disabled
Hoist up, extend out, and lower the boom.
-
When transporting a load on the deck of a carrydeck crane, the operator should
Travel with the outriggers partially extended
-
Jib capacities are based on
Structural strength
-
When making a lift on outriggers, the maximum ground-bearing pressure occurs
Over the corner
-
A cranes jib is offset 15 degrees verses its original 0 degrees offset, but the boom angle remains unchanged. In this situation, the load radius
Increases
-
Blocking which is not tightly placed may fail at
50% of design
-
If the jib is offset, the cranes capacity will be
Reduced
-
