- A.
Rigger l
- B.
Rigger lI
- C.
Rigger lII
- D.
Crane and rigging specialist
Correct Answer
A. Rigger lExplanation
Rigger l is the correct answer because they have the necessary skills and expertise to perform tandem lifts of over 40 tons. Tandem lifts involve coordinating multiple cranes or hoists to lift and move heavy loads simultaneously. Rigger l has the knowledge of rigging techniques, equipment, and safety protocols required to safely and efficiently execute these complex lifts. Rigger lI and Rigger lII may have additional qualifications and experience, but they are not specifically mentioned as being required for tandem lifts of this magnitude. The option of "Crane and rigging specialist" is not as specific as Rigger l, and it is unclear if this specialist has the necessary skills for tandem lifts.Rate this question:

BLIND LIFT IS WHEN THE LIFT DOES NOT ALLOW DIRECT VISUAL CONTACT BETWEEN:
- A.
The signalman and the boom
- B.
The signalman and the load
- C.
The crane operator and the signalman
- D.
The crane operator and the load
Correct Answer
C. The crane operator and the signalmanExplanation
Blind lift is a situation where the crane operator and the signalman are unable to have direct visual contact with each other. This can occur due to various reasons such as obstructions or distance between them. In such cases, the signalman must rely on communication methods like hand signals or radios to guide the crane operator in lifting and moving the load safely. Direct visual contact is crucial for effective communication and coordination between the crane operator and the signalman to prevent accidents and ensure smooth operations.Rate this question:

When are tag lines are used?
- A.
Only in windy conditions
- B.
When authorized by the supervisor
- C.
At all times to control the loads
- D.
When authorized by the rigger
Correct Answer
C. At all times to control the loadsExplanation
Tag lines are used at all times to control the loads. Tag lines are ropes or straps attached to a load to help guide and control its movement during lifting or lowering operations. They are essential for maintaining control and stability of the load, especially in situations where it may swing or spin. By using tag lines, workers can ensure that the load is properly positioned and prevent it from causing any damage or accidents. Therefore, tag lines should be used consistently to control loads, regardless of the weather conditions or authorization from supervisors or riggers.Rate this question:

What affects the capacity of a crane?
- A.
The service date
- B.
The boom length
- C.
The identification plan
- D.
The inspection date
Correct Answer
B. The boom lengthExplanation
The capacity of a crane is affected by the boom length. The longer the boom length, the higher the capacity of the crane. This is because a longer boom allows the crane to reach greater heights and lift heavier loads. The boom length determines the maximum radius and height at which the crane can operate effectively. Therefore, a crane with a longer boom length will have a greater capacity compared to a crane with a shorter boom length.Rate this question:

What is the correct position of the outriggers before lifting operation can be started?
- A.
Retracted
- B.
Extended
- C.
Over the rear
- D.
Stowed
Correct Answer
B. ExtendedExplanation
Before a lifting operation can be started, the correct position of the outriggers is extended. Outriggers are devices used to provide stability and support to cranes or other lifting equipment. By extending the outriggers, the base of the equipment is widened, increasing its stability and preventing it from tipping over during the lifting process. Therefore, it is necessary to have the outriggers fully extended and securely in place before commencing any lifting operation.Rate this question:

What limits the capacity of a crane?
- A.
Structural strength
- B.
Machine stability
- C.
Outriggers being out
- D.
Boom configuration
Correct Answer
B. Machine stabilityExplanation
Machine stability refers to the ability of a crane to maintain its balance and prevent tipping over during operation. This is crucial as it ensures the safety of both the crane operator and the surrounding area. If a crane is not stable, it may not be able to lift heavy loads or reach high heights without the risk of toppling over. Factors that can affect machine stability include the weight distribution of the load, the position of the boom, and the condition of the crane's outriggers. Therefore, machine stability is a key factor that limits the capacity of a crane.Rate this question:
