Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to estimate/calculate load shifting requirements for a mobile crane.It includes carrying out required calculations, preparing estimates of loads, estimating and calculating requirements for load shifting, and completing documentation in accordance with relevant state or territory authority licence/permit requirements and regulations for mobile crane operations.Work is performed with limited or minimum supervision. It involves the application of routine principles, procedures and regulations to estimate/calculate load shifting requirements for a mobile crane.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify mathematical information and tools used in the workplace
  • 1.1 Dimensions and/or weights to be measured are identified from work procedures and, as required, work order forms
  • 1.2 Units of measurement for allowable safe working load (SWL) and working load limits (WLL) for load shifting are identified from crane load chart
  • 1.3 Information presented in mathematical symbols, diagrams and pictorial representations is recognised, interpreted and used to complete workplace tasks
  • 1.4 Appropriate measuring equipment, features and/or scales and units of measurement are selected to completed task and process requirements
2 Estimate and calculate requirements for load shifting
  • 2.1 Appropriate methods are selected to perform calculations required to complete workplace tasks, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percentages and mixed numbers
  • 2.2 Quantities of materials and resources required to complete work task are calculated
  • 2.3 Load balance characteristics are identified
  • 2.4 Time needed to complete a work activity is estimated
  • 2.5 Calculations required for weight, reach, radii, boom and jib configurations are undertaken and checked for conformity with crane load chart information
  • 2.6 Load spread is estimated and/or calculated to ensure safe weighting on pallets, trucks, platforms or other storage or transport systems
  • 2.7 Measuring instruments are used and read according to manufacturer instructions
3 Complete documentation using mathematical information
  • 3.1 Appropriate workplace documentation is completed using recognised symbols and mathematical terms for work tasks
  • 3.2 Numerical information is self-checked and corrected for accuracy (if appropriate)
