I am taking a "Supervisor Assessment" for an entry level field/project engineer position I'm interviewing for. I have a few question regarding cranes and would appreciate any help:
1. What should be done when one of a cranes outriggers starts to sink? a. boom up, b. boom down, c. swing to high side or d. swing to low side
2. When initially picking up a load boom deflection if not accounted for will cause the load radius to do what? a. increase, b. decrease, c. change or d. no change
3. If the pendant lines are tight on a lattice boom you may remove the boom pins ... a. on top forward of pendant lines, b. on bottom forward of pendant lines, c. on top behind pendant lines or d. on bottom behind pendant lines
4. In order for outriggers to be properly set ... a. the beams must be extended, b. the tires must clear the ground, c. dunnage must be used or d. the jacks must be extended
5. Personnel platforms cannot be used to lift ... a. personnel, b. personnel with tools, c. supplies without personnel or d. test weights
6. When traveling with a load the boom angle should be ... a. at a maximum, b. at a minimum, c. does not matter or d. over the side
7. Blocking under outrigger pads shall ... a. be evenly spaced, b. support the pad 100%, c. be 5 times the pad diameter d. support the pad perpendicular
8. Operating a crane 1% out of level can reduce its capacity by ... a. 25%, b. 5%, c. 15% or d. 10%
Thanks in advance.
