When a lattice boom truck crane is set up on outriggers, the floats or pads should always be:
a) large enough to support two times the applied load
b) with the tires firmly on the ground
c) secured to the outriggers
d) placed on the mats ✔Correct answer-secured to the outriggers
, A truck crane operating with outriggers fully extended and set, but does not have a front outrigger,
the operator should:
a) operate over the front with caution
b) refer to the manufacturer's working area diagram
c) block under the bumper to provide more stability
d) only operate over the front at a 50% reduction of the load chart ✔Correct answer-refer to the
manufacturer's working area diagram
When a crane is operating on properly set outriggers, the tipping axis is located at the:
a) radius of the counterweight
b) center pin of the crane
c) boom heel pins
d) point where the outriggers touch the ground ✔Correct answer-point where the outriggers touch
the ground
The purpose of placing mats or cribbing under outrigger floats is to:
a) get the tires off the ground
b) distribute the downward force of the float over a larger area
c) allow the float to be level

a) a second signal person stationed over the front of the crane
b) a short boom incapable of tipping the crane
c) a front mounted counterweight to prevent tipping in that area
d) a load chart stating capacities in that area ✔Correct answer-a load chart stating capacities in
that area
