Mobile crane lifting principles
Introduction to crane configuration, rated capacity charts, lift planning and rigging awareness.
A mobile crane is designed to lift and position loads. Theory includes crane configuration, rated capacity charts, boom length, radius, counterweight, ground bearing pressure, rigging, communication and lift planning.
Safe work principles: every lift requires a competent lift plan and approved load information; never guess crane capacity; use suitable ground support; inspect rigging; maintain exclusion zones; stop if wind, visibility or communication conditions are unsafe.
Knowledge check: Why must the load chart match the crane configuration? Why must ground conditions be assessed?
This lesson is educational theory material. Always follow machine-specific instructions, workplace procedures and qualified supervision during practical operation.
