The crane shall not be loaded beyond its rated capacity (excluding for test purposes).

True

The load shall be well secured and properly balanced in the sling or lifting device before it is lifted more than a few inches.

True

A floor-operated crane is a crane controlled by an operator in a pulpit, in the cab attached to the crane, or by radio on the ground floor.

False. Cranes controlled by a cab are considered cab-operated.

A holding brake is a brake that prevents motion when power is off

True

Bridge travel means movement at right angles to the crane runway.

False. Bridge travel is the movement of an entire overhead bridge crane along parallel elevated runway rails.

In case of a power failure, an operator shall place all controllers in the “on” position.

False. Controllers shall place them in the “off” position in preparation of restored power

The load shall not be lowered below the point where less than three full wraps of rope remain on the hoisting drum.

False. Two full wraps, not three.

The employer shall insure that the operator does not leave his position at the controls while the load is suspended.

True.

The holding brake prevents the block from being raised higher than the upper limit.

False. This description is for the upper limit switch, not the holding brake!

The hoist limit switch which controls the upper limit of travel of the load block shall never be used as an operating control.

False. The hoist limit doesn’t just control the upper limit of travel!

Special hand signals shall not conflict with standard hand signals.

True

The hook latch shall not support any part of the load.

True

The purpose of the holding brake is to maintain a freely suspended load.

False, that is not what a holding brake is for at all!

Main hoist means the hoist mechanism provided for lifting the maximum rated load.

True

The Bridge is the unit which travels on the bridge rails and carried the hoisting mechanism.

False. This is the trolley, not the bridge.

Brakes for stopping the motion of the trolley or bridge shall be of sufficient size to stop the trolley or bridge within a distance in feet equal to 50 percent of full load speed in feet per minute.

False, 10 percent!

An emergency stop switch is a switch controlling the entire power supply to the crane runway.

False. The emergency stop switch controls the power to specific parts, not the entire crane runway.

The crane operator’s first responsibility is to safety.

True

Trolley travel means the trolley movement at right angles to the crane runway.

True

Load means the total superimpose weight on the load block or hook.

True

The upper limit shall be tested with a load on the hook.

False, shall be tested with no load

The upper limit shall be tested by inching the block into the switch slowly.

True
