An example of conditions that may limit the load rating of a crane includes:
- The crane is not placed on level ground, as uneven or sloped ground can affect the crane's stability and reduce the safe load rating.
- Strong winds or adverse weather conditions that impact the crane's stability.
- Limited visibility for the crane operator, which increases safety risks and may lead to a reduced load rating.
- Environmental factors such as ground conditions, temperature extremes, or corrosion that affect the crane's performance.
These conditions affect the rated load by imposing additional safety considerations to prevent accidents or structural damage, reducing the maximum load the crane can safely lift under such circumstances.
