Question 618 Deck General

The correct answer is B) a load weight indicator. The best way to determine if a load is within maximum lift limits is to use a load weight indicator. This allows the operator to directly measure the weight of the load being lifted, which can then be compared to the maximum lift capacity of the equipment being used. This is the most accurate and reliable method to ensure the load is within safe operating limits. The other options are not as reliable. A) prior experience may not account for changes in load weight or equipment capabilities. C) material invoices do not provide the actual lifted weight. And D) a boom angle indicator only provides information about the position of the boom, not the weight of the load.
