Themeasurements going up the right side of the chart note the boom length (in feet) at various levels of extension. The arced lines extending from each of these measurements show the position of the boom at various lift angles.
The highest of each of these sets of arced lines represents the position of the load when the jib extends straight out from the boom. The lower two arced lines in these sets show the position of the load when the jib luffs 25 and 45 down from the main boom.
When you know the boom length (including the jib length, if applicable) and its angle, this chart allows you to easily calculate the load radius. To do so, follow the arced line that corresponds to a particular boom length until you reach the radial line that corresponds with a given lift angle.
This same principle applies to cranes. If a 40-ton crane tries holding a 40-ton load with its boom fully extended directly in front of it, the load will come crashing to the ground. Knowing how to read a crane load chart ensures that you will never put yourself in this kind of situation.
Here at La Grange Crane, we use 3D Lift Planner to plan every aspect of every lift we perform in advance. In fact, the precise details we provide in every plan have helped us to win back-to-back Lift Plan of the Year awards.

In September 2022 CCO announced that candidates taking Mobile Crane Operator written exams will use generic load charts instead of manufacturer-specific load charts. Read more about this change as well as the shift to a single designation for all Lattice Boom Cranes (both crawler- and truck-mounted).

The Load Charts in this section are taken from the Load Chart Manual which has been published by NCCCO in cooperation with crane manufacturers to help candidates prepare for CCO written examinations. In some cases only excerpts of the load chart have been included and, therefore, they are not to be used for actual crane operation. If you need a load chart for a specific crane, you should contact the appropriate manufacturer or an official distributor.
The RTH 6.25 is a simple yet high-performance rotating telescopic handler. It can lift loads to a height of 82 ft and is equipped with scissor stabilizers to ensure greater safety and stability during working maneuvers. The scissor stabilisers are ideal even with limited space available; even when it is only partially stabilised, the machine is programmed to provide the best possible load chart on each side. When the stabilisers are fully extended, on the other hand, they guarantee maximum machine performance over 360 as they are able to work over a very wide stabilisation base. It is compatible with a huge range of accessories, thanks also to the RFID system which provides automatic recognition of the attachment and creation of the relative load charts; this telescopic handler is able to meet a wide range of applications in construction and industry.
In mathematical terms, the boom angle is found between the longitudinal centerline of the boom and the horizontal centerline. The stability of the crane must be considered when determining the appropriate boom angle. If the crane tries to lift too large a weight at too large an angle, it may lose balance.

By prioritizing regular crane load testing and investing in comprehensive mobile crane operator training, workplaces can significantly enhance the safety and efficiency of their crane operations. Testing of crane loads:
During the test, technicians assess the load capacity of the lifters, hoists, and hooks. Following the test, the equipment undergoes a rigorous inspection to identify any potential defects that could compromise safety. A detailed report is then generated outlining the test results for future reference.
Water bags have emerged as a safe and cost-effective method. These bags can be adjusted to various weights, allowing for multiple load tests without needing separate weights for each test. Importantly, water bag testing meets OSHA standards and can be used for all crane types.
Crane load charts have a number of variations depending on the several factors that are related to the information of the lift capacity of the crane, the lift range, boom angle, and more. Here are the major factors that are required to understand a crane load chart.
The lift capacity measurement of a crane tells us how much load a crane can lift naturally, including the dimension of the load, lift height, and lift angle. The average crane can lift between 10,000 and 60,000 pounds.
Cranes must frequently move or rotate in order to complete a lift. When determining the feasibility of a lift, it is necessary to consider how far and how fast a crane should rotate. Some lifts necessitate a full 360-degree turn by the crane. If movement is not taken into account, the crane may lose balance and tip over.
The net capacity of a crane is dependent upon the nature of the lift and what capacity deductions need to be subtracted from the gross capacity. Examples of capacity deductions can include the weight of the main load block, the weight of the headache ball, the weight of the jib, the weight of all hanging cables, the weight of all rigging materials, and the weight of the load that is being lifted.
A bold line divides most load charts in half, which shows the separation of structural strength and stability. All capacities listed on one side of the line are limited by the structural strength of the crane, while those listed on the other side are limited by the stability of the crane.
Measuring viral load is essential for understanding how actively the virus is replicating in the body and assessing the stage of HIV infection. It can also provide insights into the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
The frequency of viral load testing can vary. People commonly have a test at diagnosis to establish a baseline level of the virus in the blood. From there, it is common for testing to occur every 3 to 4 months or more frequently to monitor the effectiveness of ART and ensure viral suppression.
In cases where ART does not decrease the viral load, healthcare professionals may carry out testing to identify any drug-resistant strains of HIV. This information helps select an effective treatment regimen to overcome resistance and lead to viral suppression.
With proper treatment, many people with HIV can live long, healthy lives. Maintaining an undetectable viral load improves individual health outcomes and reduces the risk of transmission, contributing to public health efforts in controlling the epidemic.
Regular testing and appropriate antiretroviral therapy are key to reaching and maintaining viral suppression. With advancements in treatment and comprehensive support, individuals with HIV can lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
I have a couple of charts in a Qlik Sense dashboard that take a lot of time to load. They deal with calculations for millions of records, so I'm not surprised, but I'd like to find the method to avoid the user having to wait so much time.
I thought of using a data handling condition, so the user has to first do a selection in a filter pane before the data get displayed. That didn't fixed the issue as it seems as if the charts load before the condition is evaluated.
Hello! I'm facing a similar issue and all my measures are derived from some calculation. I wanted to ask what exactly did you load in the script editor.. I tried to use let variable and stored the value of calculation on it and in the straight table, i put that variable as my measure but it didn't populate the table. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks
I may have gotten ahead of myself here. I am still seeing some old load in the ShopLoad table. The one load record I was working on did disappear. But only after I found the (complete by not closed) job, rescheduled the job, and ran that 710 process. Ideally I want to remove the old load without rescheduling the ops, as these are jobs that are complete. So changing the operation dates in the schedule is kind of worthless. I am not sure why these complete operations are still causing load. I will keep digging!
We are about 6 years into our Epicor deployment. I believe they were on Vantage before that. Our resources are all machines, not employees. Load is relieved by users entering quantities. Our data entry is pretty good. I would say its about 80% accurate, and data is entered within 12 hours of the operation completion.
