||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
d) center of boom section - correct answer✔✔to the top end fittings
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
When a lattice boom truck crane is set up on outriggers, the floats or pads should always be:
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
a) large enough to support two times the applied load
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
b) with the tires firmly on the ground
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
c) secured to the outriggers
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
d) placed on the mats - correct answer✔✔secured to the outriggers
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
A truck crane operating with outriggers fully extended and set, but does not have a front
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
outrigger, the operator should: ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
a) operate over the front with caution
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
b) refer to the manufacturer's working area diagram
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
, c) block under the bumper to provide more stability
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
d) only operate over the front at a 50% reduction of the load chart - correct answer✔✔refer
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
to the manufacturer's working area diagram
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
When a crane is operating on properly set outriggers, the tipping axis is located at the:
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
a) radius of the counterweight
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
b) center pin of the crane
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
c) boom heel pins
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
d) point where the outriggers touch the ground - correct answer✔✔point where the
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
outriggers touch the ground ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
The purpose of placing mats or cribbing under outrigger floats is to:
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
a) get the tires off the ground
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
b) distribute the downward force of the float over a larger area
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
c) allow the float to be level
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
d) raise the operator's cab for better vision - correct answer✔✔distribute the downward
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
force of the float over a larger area ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
A crane loses stability when its leverage on the load is:
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
a) less than a load's leverage on the crane
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
b) 70% of the load's leverage on the crane
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
c) 80% of the load's leverage on the crane
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
d) more than the load's leverage on the crane - correct answer✔✔less than a load's leverage
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
on the crane
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
If a lattice boom truck crane is going to perform work over the front it must have:
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
a) a second signal person stationed over the front of the crane
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
