When a crane is working "on outriggers" the only time they should be less than fully
extended is when:
- working alongside the highway and cannot block a lane
- you are handling light loads
- the main boom is being lifted
- there is a load chart for this operation -
e) Answers-there is a load chart for this operation
A truck crane set up with the outriggers extended and set, and tires touching the
ground, the operator should refer to what load chart:
- intermediate chart
- over the front chart
- on rubber chart
- 85% of the main chart -
e) Answers-on rubber chart
Blocking paced under the ends of crawler tracks will:
- increase the crane's stability when operating over front or back
- increase the crane's stability when operating over side
- stop crane from traveling unexpectedly
- stop crane from sliding unexpectedly -
e) Answers-increase the crane's stability when operating over front or back
What quadrant produces the least amount of ground pressure on a lattice crawler:
- corner
- side
- front
- rear -
e) Answers-side
During assembly where should you attach slings to lift boom sections:
- to the top of main chords
- to the top end fittings
- 2 feet from end of section
- center of boom section -
e) Answers-to the top end fittings 1 / 2
When a lattice boom truck crane is set up on outriggers, the floats or pads should
always be:
- large enough to support two times the applied load
- with the tires firmly on the ground
- secured to the outriggers
- placed on the mats -
e) Answers-secured to the outriggers
A truck crane operating with outriggers fully extended and set, but does not have a front
outrigger, the operator should:
- operate over the front with caution
- refer to the manufacturer's working area diagram
- block under the bumper to provide more stability
- only operate over the front at a 50% reduction of the load chart -
e) Answers-refer to the manufacturer's working area diagram
When a crane is operating on properly set outriggers, the tipping axis is located at the:
- radius of the counterweight
- center pin of the crane
- boom heel pins
- point where the outriggers touch the ground -
e) Answers-point where the outriggers touch the ground
The purpose of placing mats or cribbing under outrigger floats is to:
- get the tires off the ground
- distribute the downward force of the float over a larger area
- allow the float to be level
- raise the operator's cab for better vision -
e) Answers-distribute the downward force of the float over a larger area
A crane loses stability when its leverage on the load is:
- less than a load's leverage on the crane
- 70% of the load's leverage on the crane
- 80% of the load's leverage on the crane
- more than the load's leverage on the crane -
e) Answers-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 second signal person stationed over the front of the crane
- a short boom incapable of tipping the crane
- a front mounted counterweight to prevent tipping in that area
- a load chart stating capacities in that area -
e) Answers-a load chart stating capacities in that area
Each outrigger pad and its blocking should be sufficient to support:
- 85% of the load chart
- the total weight of the crane and its load
