What is required to be stenciled at the heel of a cargo boom?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Cargo gear markings required by regulations • Purpose of information stenciled where the operator and deck crew can see it quickly • Difference between permanent markings on equipment vs. information kept in certificates/records

💭 Think About

• Ask: In a real cargo operation, what single piece of information painted on the boom itself most directly prevents overloading and structural failure? • Think about which items from the choices are normally recorded in documents (certificates, test records, manuals) rather than painted on steel. • Consider what information needs to be visible to any crew member or stevedore using the boom, even if they have not seen the paperwork.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option represents a capacity limitation that must be obvious at a glance. • Eliminate any options that are more appropriate for a logbook or test certificate than for paint on the steel. • Choose the option that, if missing, would most directly increase the risk of overstressing the boom during lifting.
