The mechanical advantage of a machine is the amount by which the machine multiplies the force applied to it in order to lift or move a load. However having an understanding on how such jobs are managed will help those in safety too. This is a skilled job and let a professional take care of it. However if you are not trained in crane operation please do not take a chance. Depending up on the load at hand a crane operator changes the configuration including the number of parts of line and the hook. A crane may have different capacity hooks also. However the lift capacity of a crane can be changed with different configuration. SLI along with load chart and rigging plan is the best way to ensure whether your lift is safe or not?Ĭapacity of a crane remains the same throughout. Nowadays SLIs coming with configuration setting in which you can put the number of falls as well. You may in future ask to bring a crane having Safe load Indicator (SLI) fixed. So don't allow to go ahead until and unless they submitted any documented proof saying this reduced fall configuration lift is possible and this is what the safe limit in reduced fall and all.

The crane people must carry only their single configuration load chart. In such case getting all the papers would be pretty difficult. I believe that the crane you are talking about must be bring in your site by some contractors or your company hired crane from some agency.

So first of all you have to cross check either with manual or by contacting the manufacturer how it is been designed. So this operator doing it by his own risk and based on his experience. Now another possibility is that the manufacturer not allowing to alter the design configuration and reducing falls. They will be surely able to give you the load char with reduced falls. If you still fail to find out such a configuration in the manuals, contact the manufacturer. You have to first of all go through the manuals of the crane and all load chart in details to find out the reduced configuration. 20 ft (6.1 m) or 40 ft (12.Its not possible that the crane is not having load chart with reduced falls.33 ft-56 ft (10.1 m-17.1 m) bifold lattice swingaway extension.33 ft (10.1 m) offsettable lattice swingaway extension.This crane has load charts with full outriggers, half outriggers, as well as a pick and carry chart which allows the crane to pick a load on it’s tires and drive it to another location.
