What is another description for a tandem crane lift?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Quad lift hoisting 120 tons.
A tandem crane lift, also known as a quad lift, involves the use of two cranes working together to lift a single load. The cranes are connected to the load using a spreader bar or other rigging, allowing them to evenly distribute the weight and lift much heavier loads than a single crane could handle. In this case, the question specifies a quad lift hoisting 120 tons, which is the correct description for a tandem crane lift.
The other options are incorrect because: A) describes a single crane lift, C) describes a twin crane lift (which is different from a tandem/quad lift), and D) is not the correct description for a tandem crane lift.
