A crane's load chart has a note stating 'capacities based on freely suspended load.' What does this mean for the operator?
-
A
The load must hang free and clear, not be dragged, side-loaded, or restrained by tag lines under tension
-
B
The load can be guided with tag lines without affecting capacity
-
C
The load must be lifted vertically from directly below the boom tip
-
D
Freely suspended refers only to the hook block, not the load itself
