70% to passWhat describes a tandem crane lift?
A
Two sets of twin cranes hoisting 120 tons
B
Single crane hoisting 30 tons
C
Two cranes on a single pedestal hoisting 60 tons
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Two sets of twin cranes hoisting 120 tons. A tandem crane lift refers to the use of two cranes working together to lift a single, heavier load that would be beyond the capacity of a single crane. This allows for the lifting of loads up to twice the capacity of a single crane. The description of "two sets of twin cranes hoisting 120 tons" accurately depicts a tandem crane lift scenario. The other options are incorrect because B) describes a single crane lift, C) describes a different configuration of two cranes on a single pedestal, and D) is not the correct answer choice.
