Question 552 Deck General
70% to passWhich statement is TRUE concerning a tagline as used with a 30-ton pedestal crane?
The correct answer is C) Taglines can be fastened to the corners of vehicles or containers during cargo operations. Taglines are not used to raise, lower, or position the crane itself. Instead, taglines are used to control and guide the movement of the load being lifted by the crane during cargo operations. Attaching taglines to the corners of vehicles or containers helps the crane operator and ground crew control and position the load, ensuring safe and precise cargo handling. The other options are incorrect because they describe the function of other crane components, such as the topping lift, jib, and pedestal, which are not the purpose of taglines.
