🔍 Key Concepts

• Cargo gear markings on derricks, cranes, and lifting appliances • Meaning of common lifting abbreviations such as SWL, WLL, and MBL • Safety margins built into rated loads for lifting equipment

💭 Think About

• When you look at a ship’s crane or a cargo derrick, what does the painted number next to SWL tell you about how it may be used? • Which option describes a limit that should not be exceeded during lifting operations, rather than a description of the equipment itself? • Think about what wording would be most important to prevent overloading and structural failure of cargo gear.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice clearly describes a maximum allowed load for safe operation • Eliminate any answers that sound like they refer to a ship’s location or direction (e.g., port/starboard, wings) instead of a safety limit • Make sure the phrase you select is something you would reasonably see stenciled or stamped on cranes, slings, and shackles
