1

What would happen if the wire rope was not tightly and
evenly wound
Severe rope damage

What are nine of the more common causes of poor drum

winding and slack rope
Rope incorrectly installed on the drum
Incorrect fleet angle
Rope is too stiff for the crane
Sheaves poorly lubricated or stiff due to cold weather
Effect of wind on hoist line
Suddenly stopping a load during hoisting
Hook block or headache ball too light
Sudden change in rope tension
Overlowering

What is the maximum fleet angle on a grooved drum

2 degrees
30:1 ratio

What is the maximum fleet angle on a smooth drum

1.5 degrees
40:1 ratio

What is the ratio for fleet angle based on

Half the drum width and the distance from the drum to the deflector sheave

If the rope Is to stiff for the crane what could the two causes
be
The cable requires a larger diameter drum in order to curve around the drum
properly
The cranes drum requires a more supple cable capable of bending more easily

What can you do to prevent damage caused by improperly

lubricated or stiff from the cold sheaves
Ensure you boom down and check your sheaves at your boom tip and your
block, look for lack of grease blown bearings and foreign objects
I cold weather is the culprit try to warm up our sheaves prior to lifting by
running the line out and in slowly

A sudden change in rope tension will cause the rope to

slacken momentarily and can loosen the coils or cause cross
coiling. What are two instances where this is more prone to
happen
When trying to lift out of ice and the ice let's go

When lifting a cut portion of steel but the slag has re glued the steel

What are three possible outcomes of overloading a crane

Tip it
Collapse or break it
Lose the use of a component

10

Tipping failure will occur when overloading your crane in

the stability portion of your charts. This can happen if you
what
Lift a load that is too heavy
Boom down out of chart
Boom out out of chart
Swing from high side to low side in an unlevel crane

11

Structural failure will occur when you overload the crane in

the structural chart this can happen if you what
Lift a load that is too heavy
Boom down out of chart
Boom out out of chart
Take a heavy load "on the boom"
Have de-synchronized boom sections

12

When do you need a competent signal person while working

around power lines
If any part of the crane or load may encroach upon the minimum safe approach
distance. A work area definition system may also be used to prevent encroaching
on the MSAD

13

There are six main requirements of site supervision when

working around power lines or when an incident occurs.
What are they
Provide a qualified signal person
Be aware of the requirements of the electrical authority
If travel will be repeated then a route will be plainly marked under the power
lines with rider poles
Ensure that where necessary the crane is grounded
Report every incident involving contact with power lines to the site safety
inspector
If contact is made not use the crane until it has been completely inspected by a
competent person

14

When planning your work near power lines what should you
use to ensure you maintain a safe distance
Table 4 from z-150

15

Who must contact the power line operator and when

The client must contact them before work is done or equipment is operated
within 7 meters of an energized overhead power line.

16

What are 6 things to keep in mind when the temperature

drops below freezing
Avoid max capacity lifts
Slow down your cycle of operations
Do not dynamic or shock load any of the structural components
Proper warm up of hydraulic system
Slow smooth and infrequent lifting only when necessary
Lifting as per manufacturers charts

17

What is the maximum speed for a pick and carry

2 miles or 1.6 km an hour

18

What three things must you ensure before making an on

rubber lift
Axel lockout is working
Tires are rated inflated and in good condition
Crane sped not exceeded in pick and carry

19

Could there be multiple on rubber charts

Yes
On rubber over the front
On rubber 360
On rubber pick and carry

20
You should stay away from what type of on rubber
operations as much as possible
360

21

How should you transmission be set when lifting on rubber

and what else must you ensure
Neutral
Ensure air brakes and suspension are at full pressure

22

Where you should you keep the load during a pick and carry
As low as possible it allows the load line to act as a shock absorber

23

Where does the boom angle need to be kept during a pick

and carry
Low enough to not cause backward stability issues, keeping in mind site
conditions

24

What must be compensated for during a pick and carry

Ground irregularities causing shock loading

25

Making sure to avoid slopes where should your boom be

pointed during a pick and carry
In the direction of travel
26

You must control the load at all times during a pick and
carry ... what should you use for this
Restraint lines

27

Should you set the swing break or house lock during a pick
and carry
Both If possible but at least a swing break

28

If you must travel on unlevel ground (flat but on an angle)

you must follow what six rules
Ensure there is a large margin of capacity over the load being lifted
Move the load in stages
Keep the load on the uphill side of the crane
Do not swing the crane
Block the tracks on crawler when stopping
Watch for unstable crane during release of load
