Sample lesson
Build the total load before using the chart
The object being lifted is only the starting point. The chart decision must account for the full load and every deduction required by the manufacturer for the actual crane and configuration.
- 01Confirm the verified weight of the object
- 02Add the hook block or overhaul ball when required
- 03Add rigging and applicable attachments or deductions
- 04Use the actual loaded radius and exact configuration
- 05Read chart notes before accepting the capacity

Three questions.
Three explanations.
Open each item to see the answer and the reasoning behind it. These examples are original Lift Right educational questions—not official examination content.
01What horizontal measurement is central to selecting capacity from most mobile-crane load charts?+
Answer: Operating radius.
Radius is generally measured from the crane's axis of rotation to the vertical centerline of the hoist line or suspended load, as defined by the manufacturer.
02Why must rigging and the hook block be considered before comparing a load with chart capacity?+
Answer: They may be part of the total suspended load or required chart deductions.
Ignoring required deductions can make the chart comparison understate the load carried by the crane.
03What should an operator do when the actual crane configuration does not match the chart being reviewed?+
Answer: Stop and locate the manufacturer information for the exact configuration.
Capacity cannot be transferred from a different boom, attachment, counterweight, support, or operating configuration without manufacturer authorization.
