I was taught that you do not deduct a part of line that is also being used to make the lift. So your deductions would only be rigging, the block and ball plus the line hanging from the ball that is unused. If you have 2 parts of line making the lift, you aren't just using 1 part of line unless you remove it. Please help me understand.
Very useful this part confused me at first but your video helped ill defiantly be watching it a few more times. I take my written exam at the end of the month
@@hurt1704 no. You really don't need to know much math at all. They will show u how to read the charts. And in my test there was only like three questions on load limits. The biggest thing was knowing the vocabulary terms. And the way they word them in the questions and answers. I think there are only three variations of the test, to keep it randomized. Try to remember how far away from power lines you need to be. What the max wind speed is that you can operate in. What to look for when setting up a crane. And doing checks on a setup Crane. stuff like having a ground rod. no frays in your cables.. but mainly the vocabulary terms and safety stuff. I passed my first try and most of that is because I studied pretty diligently. After the classes at home add somebody asked me the questions and I try answering them and I did that for a couple hours every night just to get the vocabulary terms burned into my brain. And it ended up working out. Good luck fella. As long as you study I'm sure you will pass. And they want you to pass. So you can ask as many questions as you want. Just know they cannot help you in any way while you are taking your test. From what I remember.
@@chokeonnick sounds good. Did you go to crane school for the Union or a school to obtain employment out of curiosity? Also if you went to regular crane school, was it hard to find a job after ?
@@chokeonnick also I appreciate the very detailed response. I’m enrolled to attend west coast trainings crane and heavy equipment course august 21st so it’s coming shortly
@@hurt1704 no problem my dude. the company I've been working for started using them in the past couple of years. And as a foreman they wanted me to be able to run them. It was a 3-day class. Non-union.
