🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe lifting practice on vessels and rigs • Difference between knowing the load weight and just estimating it • What device directly tells you if you are approaching maximum rated capacity

💭 Think About

• Which option gives you a real-time, direct measurement relevant to lifting limits, rather than an estimate or paperwork value? • Is there a difference between knowing the exact load weight and knowing how close your gear is to its safe working limit during the lift? • Which instrument is specifically designed to protect you from overloading the lifting gear?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is an instrument that measures or displays lifting conditions during the lift • Distinguish between tools that give approximate or indirect information vs. those that give direct, operational information • Confirm which option is most commonly used on cranes to prevent overload and structural failure
