The lifting lugs on the spreader beam are 17 feet apart. The pick is 10,000 pounds.What sling length (L2) would you need to obtain 60 degrees? How high (H1) would that make the rigging above the spreader beam? How much tension (T) in each sling?
-
"Sling length = 17 feet, height = 14.72 feet, tension in each sling = 2,900 pounds"
-
"Sling length = 14.72 feet, height = 17 feet, tension in each sling = 5,800 pounds"
-
"Sling length = 17 feet, height = 14.72 feet, tension in each sling = 5,800 pounds"
-
"Sling length = 14.72 feet, height = 17 feet, tension in each sling = 5,800 pounds"
Correct Answer
A. "Sling length = 17 feet, height = 14.72 feet, tension in each sling = 5,800 pounds"Explanation
L1 = 17 feet x 1.0 = 17 feet long. 17 feet x 0.866 = 14.72 feet high, 10,000 pounds x 0,58 = 5,800 pounds tension.Rate this question:

After filling out a lift plan for a pick with a rough terrain mobile hydraulic crane, you find that the weight of the upcoming pick is 87% of the cranes hoisting capacity. What type of lift plan will be required prior to the work?
-
Crane lift plan
-
General Lift Plan
-
Critical lift plan
-
No lift Plan
Correct Answer
A. Critical lift planExplanation
A critical lift plan will be required prior to the work because the weight of the upcoming pick is 87% of the crane's hoisting capacity. This indicates that the lift is close to or exceeding the crane's maximum capacity, making it a critical lift that requires additional planning and precautions to ensure safety. A critical lift plan involves a more detailed analysis of the lift, including factors such as load weight, load stability, crane stability, rigging requirements, and potential hazards. This plan helps to mitigate risks and ensure that the lift is carried out safely.Rate this question:

Which hitch type provides the most capacity for a 1" wire rope sling?
-
Straight pull
-
Choker hitch
-
Basket hitch
-
Two part bridal sling
Correct Answer
A. Basket hitchExplanation
A basket hitch provides the most capacity for a 1" wire rope sling. In a basket hitch, the sling is passed under the load and the ends are brought up and crossed over the load, forming a basket shape. This distributes the load evenly across the sling, maximizing its capacity. The other hitch types mentioned, such as straight pull, choker hitch, and two-part bridal sling, do not provide the same level of load distribution and capacity as a basket hitch.Rate this question:

Which of the following conditions would require a synthetic sling to be taken out of service? Check all that apply.
-
Melted or charred
-
Broken or worn stitches
-
Tag missing or is illegible
-
Ultraviolet sunlight damage
-
Discoloration
Correct Answer(s)
A. Melted or charred
A. Broken or worn stitches
A. Tag missing or is illegible
A. Ultraviolet sunlight damageExplanation
A synthetic sling would need to be taken out of service if it is melted or charred, has broken or worn stitches, has a missing or illegible tag, or has ultraviolet sunlight damage. Discoloration alone may not necessarily require the sling to be taken out of service, as it may not affect the sling's structural integrity.Rate this question:

How many tons can a 3/8" dia. plowsteel wire rope carry if the object is rigged using a choker hitch?
-
4
-
2.4
-
1.6
-
0.92
-
0.68
Correct Answer
A. 0.92Explanation
The given answer of 0.92 is the correct answer because it is the maximum weight in tons that a 3/8" dia. plowsteel wire rope can carry when rigged using a choker hitch. The choker hitch is a type of rigging that involves wrapping the wire rope around the object and then passing the end of the rope through the wire rope itself, creating a loop. This method provides a secure grip on the object and allows for a higher weight capacity compared to other types of hitches.Rate this question:
