What this page targets

Use this page to drill NCCCO load chart practice concepts before opening the full sample set. Start with the focus below, answer a few questions, then review the explanation for each miss.

Practice focus: Radius, boom length, deductions, net capacity, and setup conditions.

Sample 1

What determines which load-chart capacity applies to a lift?

  1. The actual crane configuration, boom or jib setup, radius, and chart notes
  2. The operator's preferred hoisting speed
  3. The load's appearance without a verified weight
  4. A capacity from a different crane model

Answer: A. Load-chart capacity is configuration-specific and must match the actual setup and operating radius.

Sample 2

What should happen when the operator does not understand a signal?

  1. Assume the signal means hoist
  2. Stop crane movement until communication is clear
  3. Continue slowly in the last signaled direction
  4. Let the rigger move the load by hand

Answer: B. Unclear communication requires stopping until the signal and intended movement are resolved.

Sample 3

Which condition should stop a crane lift until it is controlled?

  1. A verified load weight
  2. A level setup within chart limits
  3. Unclear signals or an unsafe site condition
  4. A clearly understood signal

Answer: C. Crane operations should stop when communication or site conditions are unsafe.

Sample 4

What is included in gross load for a crane-capacity decision?

  1. Only the object's advertised shipping weight
  2. Only the hook block and hoist line
  3. Rated capacity before required deductions
  4. The lifted object plus rigging and other load carried by the crane

Answer: D. Gross load includes the object and all rigging or attachments carried by the crane.
