Q

Which statement(s) is/are TRUE concerning crane cargo operations?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe Working Load (SWL) and why manufacturers specify limits for cranes and jibs • Basic cargo securing principles before lifting (inside vehicles, containers, baskets, etc.) • Pre-use inspection of lifting points and gear before any crane operation

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: would this increase or decrease safety during crane operations? • Think about what could happen if lifting points are not checked or if cargo inside a vehicle/container is loose during a lift. • Which option matches standard safe lifting practice and regulatory/industry guidance: allowing shortcuts, or strictly following limits and inspections?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether ignoring crane manufacturer’s SWL limits is ever acceptable in professional practice. • Consider whether unsecured cargo inside a container/vehicle can shift during a lift and what that would do to stability and slings. • Decide if it is ever considered safe practice to skip checking lifting points, hooks, shackles, and slings before starting crane operations.
