Introduction
These 10 questions are for you to use to help get ready for the load chart part of the CraneSafe
Certification assessment for Mobile Hydraulic 20 Tonnes & Under.
The questions on your assessment will be different from these but will be presented in the same format
as these questions.
With the questions are the answers with the relevant load charts. The answers explain how we arrived
at the correct answer and you can use this to help work through any questions you may have gotten
incorrect. We have not included all of the charts for this crane - but everything you need to answer
the questions is included. You do not need the crane manual or full load chart package to answer the
questions.

Load Chart & Rigging Answers

Q1
Net Capacity
To find the gross capacity you must check the capacity at 22 feet main boom length at a 15 foot
radius in the over the front quadrant: 14,500 lbs.
You must also check the capacity at 36 feet boom length at a 15 foot radius in the over the front
quadrant: 14,900 lbs.
NOTE: #2 Operation applies when either radius or boom length, or both, are between listed
values, the smaller of the two listed load ratings shall be used.
Net Capacity = Gross Capacity Weight of Load Handling Devices
Deductions (Weight of Load Handling Devices)
2 sheave block
Rigging

325 lbs
60 lbs
385 lbs
Gross Capacity: 14,500 lbs

Net Capacity: 14,500 385 = 14,115 lbs
Q2
Maximum Radius
Maximum Radius = Load Weight + Load Handling Devices
Gross Load
Load weight
5,900 lbs
3 sheave block
350 lbs
Rigging
100 lbs
6,350 lbs
Go to the over the front quadrant at a boom length of 52 feet then follow the column down until
you come to a capacity thats equal to or greater than the gross load of 6,350 lbs.
Maximum Radius: 25 feet
www.fulford.ca
Q3
Lorain LCD-150 (1)
Lowest Boom Angle

Gross Load on Crane = Load Weight + Load Handling Devices
Gross Load
Load weight
4,200 lbs
Hook ball
121 lbs
Rigging

80 lbs
4,401 lbs
NOTE: #2 Operation applies.

At the 36 foot boom length at 0 degrees. The capacity is 4,500 lbs which is more than the gross
load on the crane in the over the side quadrant.
At the 52 foot boom length at 49.4 degrees. The capacity is 5,600 lbs which is more than the
gross load on the crane in the over the side quadrant.
The higher of the two boom angles applies to determine the lowest boom angle the gross load
can be boomed down.
Lowest Boom Angle: 49.4 degrees
Q4
Maximum Load
Because the 27 foot radius is between values listed, you must go to the next longer radius of 30
feet to determine gross capacity.
Maximum Load to be Lifted = Gross Capacity Load Handling Devices
Deductions (Load Handling Devices)
2 sheave block
325 lbs
Hook ball x 2 (see note)
242 lbs
Rigging

80 lbs
647 lbs
Gross Capacity at a 27 foot radius: 5,100 lbs

Maximum Load = 5,100 647 = 4,453 pounds
NOTE: #6 Operation applies.
When jibs are erected but unused, add two (2) times the weight of any hook block, slings and
auxiliary lifting devices at the jib head to the load.
www.fulford.ca
Q5
Lorain LCD-150 (1)
Maximum Load
Because the boom angle is between values listed, you must go to the next lower boom angle of
51 degrees to determine gross capacity.
Net Capacity = Gross Capacity Load Handling Devices
Deductions (Load Handling Devices)
Hook ball
Rigging

121 lbs
40 lbs
161 lbs
Gross Capacity at 51 degrees, 15 degree offset: 3,100 lbs

Net Capacity = 3,100 161 = 2,939 lbs
Q6
Boom Length & Radius at Creep Speed

Gross Load
Load weight
2 sheave block
Rigging

3,900 lbs
325 lbs
80 lbs
4,305 lbs
Main Boom Length: 52 feet

Radius: 20 feet
Q7
Pick & Carry

See notes 4 and 5 on set up for pick and carry.
www.fulford.ca
Q8
Lorain LCD-150 (1)
Chain Slings
Answer: 1/2 inch

The capacity of a 1/2 inch chain sling in a 2-leg bridle hitch at a 60 degree angle is 16,627
pounds.
The slings are choked so there is a 25% reduction in capacity:
16,627 x .75 = 12,470 pounds
Q9
Web Slings
Answer: 5 inch
The capacity of a 5 inch nylon web sling in a 2-leg bridle hitch at a 45 degree angle is 7,775
pounds.
The slings are choked so there is a 25% reduction in capacity:
7,775 x .75 = 5,831 pounds
Q10 Web Slings
Answer: 4 inch
The capacity of one 4 inch nylon web sling in a single basket hitch at a 45 degree angle is 6,220
pounds.
The slings are in a Double Basket Hitch: 6,220 x 2 = 12,440 pounds
