NCCCO Telescopic Core 2025/2026 | CRT-001 | 100+ Solved Questions – Boom Configuration, Jib Safety & Load Control

This document contains 100+ expertly solved exam questions and answers designed for the NCCCO Telescopic Core 2025/2026 Certification, under course code CRT-001, following the requirements of the Crane Institute Certification (CIC) and fully aligned with OSHA 1926 Subpart CC and ASME B30.5 standards. It provides essential test preparation focused on telescopic boom crane configuration, load handling, personnel lifting, and safe operation in various terrain and setup conditions. The questions are structured around real-world crane operation challenges, covering: Boom and jib setup, including stowed vs. erected position, offset impacts, side-loading hazards, and extension balance Load chart use, capacity deductions, effective weight calculations, and boom angle adjustments for partially extended lifts Personnel lifting requirements, such as anti-two-block systems, boom angle indicators, controlled load lowering, and OSHA 1926.1431 compliance Outrigger and ground support safety, including blocking requirements, corner loading, and float stability Stability and tipping risks, such as backward tipping at short radius, quadrant strength (rear/front/side), and load leverage effects Travel operations, including suspended load control on rough terrain cranes, boom orientation, and tag line safety near power lines Signal and device protocols, such as boom angle indicators, swing path monitors, and lockout systems during two-block activation Crane limitations, including what components can or cannot be removed from carry deck cranes during operation This study material is highly suited for: Candidates preparing for NCCCO telescopic boom core exams Vocational trainees in heavy equipment operation and construction crane programs Engineering students focusing on lifting operations and job site safety Crane operators, riggers, and lifting coordinators managing mobile crane configurations in tight, uneven, or hazardous environments Employers conducting internal safety testing or certification readiness assessments Built around practical OSHA-regulated operations and tested principles, this document supports crane professionals in mastering both exam performance and job site execution.
