When the crane is over-the side, over-the-front, or over-the rear configurations, the
center of gravity its shifted either close or farther away from the tipping axis (point); this
in turn may? - Answer-Increase or decrease the crane's leverage
What is the crane weight x horizontal distance from the center of gravity of the crane to
the tipping axis? - Answer-Crane's leverage
A crane's leverages (crane weight x horizontal distance from the center of gravity of the
crane to the tipping axis) has to be greater than the? - Answer-Load's average (load
weight x horizontal distance from the center of gravity of the load to the tipping axis) to
make a lift
What is the load weight x horizontal distance from the center of gravity of the load to the
tipping axis? - Answer-Load's leverage
A crane's leverages (crane weight x horizontal distance from the center of gravity of the
crane to the tipping axis) has to be greater than the load's average (load weight x
horizontal distance from the center of gravity of the load to the tipping axis) to make a
lift. If it isn't then ___ occurs? - Answer-Tipping

Capacities on rubber? - Answer-Do not exceed 75%
What is a side view of a crane with its full range of boom lengths, jibs, and boom
extensions? - Answer-Range diagram
A crane's leverage is determined by? - Answer-The crane weight times the horizontal
distance from the crane's center of gravity to the tipping axis
The least capacity of a typical truck-mounted crane w/o a forward outrigger occurs when
the tipping axis is? - Answer-Over the front of the crane
Rough-terrain cranes are designed to be? - Answer-Operated w/in 1% of level on a firm,
supporting surface
Site preparation and crane erection take the most time for ___ cranes? - Answer-Lattice

The maximum horizontal distance from a projection of the axis of rotation to the center
of the vertical hoist line or tackle w/ load applied for the given boom length, angle, and
operating quadrant is the? - Answer-Load operating radius
According to ASME B30.5, a load rating chart must include? - Answer-Work areas and
load rating where no loads are permitted to be handled
A crane can? - Answer-Be overloaded before any signs o tipping are evident
