Introduction

These 3 questions are for you to use to help get ready for the load chart part of the CraneSafe
Certification assessment for Folding Boom Truck Crane.

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 Answers

Q1 – Gross Capacity

1. What is the Hiab’s GROSS CAPACITY based on the following configuration?

• Radius – 45 feet
• Hook height – 50 feet

Answer: 2,560 pounds

Gross Capacity is:

The maximum weight shown in the load chart the Hiab can lift according to the crane configuration.

To determine the gross capacity,

follow along the radius numbers at Radius
98" of the load chart until you
the top 0 5' 10' 15' 20' 25' 30' 35' 40' 45' 50' 55' 60' 65' ft

Follow down the nearest bold line to
the right of the hook to determine 15'

where the red line from the capacities 10'

ends at the bold line. Follow the red

line to read a capacity of 2,560 lbs.
0
(If you go to the bold line to the left,
the crane is beyond the gross capacity -5'
of 3,220 lbs which will exceed the -10'
crane’s capacity for the above
configuration.)

Q2 – Net Capacity

1. What is the Hiab’s NET CAPACITY based on the following configuration?

• Radius – 60 feet
• Height – 25 feet
• Set of lifting forks – 450 lbs

Answer: 1,310 pounds

Net Capacity:

-5'

-10'
From the bold line to the right of the
hook, follow the red line to read a
capacity of 1,760 lbs.

Net Capacity = Gross Capacity – Load Handling Devices

= 1,760 lbs – 450 lbs
= 1,310 lbs
