Preview Questions Crane Operator | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the purpose of a "load chart" for a crane, and how should it be used?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To determine how much fuel the crane consumes

To calculate how much the crane operator is paid

To calculate the maximum load the crane can safely lift at different boom angles and radii

To check the crane's speed limits

Question 2: How should a Crane Operator check the crane's safety features, like limit switches and emergency stop buttons?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Test safety features only after the crane has been in operation for a few hours

Check the safety systems once a month

Assume the safety features work without testing them

Test the limit switches, emergency stops, and other safety features daily before starting the crane, ensuring they function properly

Question 3: What is the correct procedure for inspecting the crane's wire ropes before operation?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Check the wire ropes only if they show visible damage

Ignore the wire ropes if the crane is not used for heavy lifting

Inspect only the wire ropes when the crane is used outdoors

Check for wear, broken strands, kinks, or corrosion, and ensure proper lubrication

Question 4: How should a Crane Operator handle the crane during a swinging load?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Let the load swing freely to prevent jerking motions

Increase the speed to move the load quickly

Slow down the operation and ensure the load is controlled to avoid swinging

Swing the load as quickly as possible to clear the area

Question 5: What is the maximum weight capacity for a crane's load, and how does it change with different boom lengths?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The load capacity decreases as the boom length increases

The load capacity is constant regardless of boom length

The load capacity increases initially but decreases at longer lengths

The load capacity increases with the boom length

Question 6: How does a crane operator ensure proper communication with ground personnel during lifting operations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using hand signals, radios, or other communication tools to ensure clarity

By only using visual signals from the operator's seat

By relying on direct eye contact with ground personnel

By using loudspeakers to instruct ground personnel
