What happens here

The operator explains the impressive lifting capabilities of the Palfinger crane mounted on the grapple truck. Fully extended to 108 feet, the crane can still lift 1,540 pounds. For closer operations, with the main boom extended 20 feet, it can lift a massive 20,600 pounds. This information is displayed on a digital load chart on the remote control, which operators reference to ensure they always work within safe load limits.

Goal: Understand the crane's lifting capacity at various extensions and the importance of load charts.

What they say

try quick. How much can it lift? Um, so it all depends at how much boom each boom you have out and the radius from the back of the crane. This is our load chart that we we have to reference here. But basically, this crane has 108t of stick. So, fully extended out at 108 ft, we can pick uh 1,540 lb, which isn't a lot, but that's that's a damn good amount. Yeah. I mean, it's quite a far distance. And then like right off the back of the crane, uh I got to go. So, we're picking off just our main boom like at 20 ft off the back of the crane. If Tanner's just picking off his main boom, not his fly jib, he can pick at 20 feet, he's good for 20,600 lb. Holy crap. Wow. What does a rig like that go for? Like 7 800,000. What is it? Uh I think it was like 720,000 plus that you got paid sales tax and the HVT. Like that's another like 80 grand.
