Introduction

These 12 questions are for you to use to help get ready for the Load Chart & Rigging part of the
CraneSafe Certification assessment for Friction Lattice Crane.

Certification
The questions on your assessment will be different from these but will be presented in the same format
as these questions.

Following the questions are the load charts and rigging tables and then the answers. The answers explain
how we arrived at the correct answer and you can use this to help work through any questions you may
have gotten incorrect. We have not included all of the charts for this crane–but everything you need to
answer the questions is included. You do not need the crane manual or full load chart package to answer

CraneSafe
the questions.

Crane Rating Data


CRANE RATING DATA

Load ratings are in pounds and do not exceed 75% of the load which would cause tipping with crane
standing level on firm uniformly supporting surface. Safe loads depend on ground conditions, boom

Certification
lengths, radius of operation, and proper handling, all of which must be taken into consideration by user.

"Radius in feet" is the horizontal distance at crane base level from center of rotation to a vertical line
through the center of gravity of the suspended load.

Lifting is approved only in those areas for which ratings are shown in the rating chart. Blocks, slings,
buckets, and other load carrying devices are considered part of the load. Retractable A-frame must be in
fully raised position for all ratings. Ratings in bolded areas are limited by strength of material, or factors
other than stability.

Main load line is 1-1/8 inch diameter with a minimum breaking strength of 130,000 pounds. Boom
suspension line is 7/8 inch diameter with a minimum breaking strength of 113,200 pounds. Boom

CraneSafe
suspension pendants are 1-3/8 inch diameter with a minimum breaking strength of 208,000 pounds.

Boom and jib erection is over the long end of the machine with idler tumblers blocked and with "Lift Rating"
counterweight.

Model 9270 may be used for duty cycle service with a 60,000 pound counterweight. Maximum clamshell
boom is 140 feet and maximum dragline or magnet boom is 100 feet. Maximum clamshell rating is 28,000
pounds; maximum dragline rating is 27,000 pounds and maximum magnet rating is 24,000 pounds.

Jib ratings are based on the minimum boom length specified above.
For ratings on shorter booms consult factory. The jib load rating is the
lesser of:
(a) the maximum jib rating, or
(b) the main boom rating at the jib working radius, reduced by
the effective jib wight and by the weight of all suspended load
carrying devices.
The main boom rating with jib in place must be reduced by the

Certification
effective jib weight, the weight of main fall blocks and slings, and
twice the weight of jib tackle.
