Question 661 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. Level-luffing during crane operations accomplishes the following: 1. It maintains the height of the load above the deck by automatically adjusting the boom angle as the load is raised or lowered, keeping the load at a constant elevation. 2. It prevents the load from swinging when the boom level is adjusted by keeping the load centered and stabilized. 3. It requires less power when topping the boom with a load on the hook, as the level-luffing mechanism compensates for the changing angle and distance, reducing the strain on the crane's systems. The other options are incorrect because they only partially describe the benefits of level-luffing, while the correct answer encompasses all the key advantages of this crane control feature.
