1. What should be done when one of a cranes outriggers starts to sink? a. boom up, b. boom down, c. swing to high side or d. swing to low side

2. When initially picking up a load boom deflection if not accounted for will cause the load radius to do what? a. increase, b. decrease, c. change or d. no change

3. If the pendant lines are tight on a lattice boom you may remove the boom pins ... a. on top forward of pendant lines, b. on bottom forward of pendant lines, c. on top behind pendant lines or d. on bottom behind pendant lines

4. In order for outriggers to be properly set ... a. the beams must be extended, b. the tires must clear the ground, c. dunnage must be used or d. the jacks must be extended

5. Personnel platforms cannot be used to lift ... a. personnel, b. personnel with tools, c. supplies without personnel or d. test weights

6. When traveling with a load the boom angle should be ... a. at a maximum, b. at a minimum, c. does not matter or d. over the side

7. Blocking under outrigger pads shall ... a. be evenly spaced, b. support the pad 100%, c. be 5 times the pad diameter d. support the pad perpendicular

8. Operating a crane 1% out of level can reduce its capacity by ... a. 25%, b. 5%, c. 15% or d. 10%

Thanks in advance.

P.S. The chances of your supervisor being on here are pretty damn good. Good luck.

This sounds like questions about operating a crane offshore. Therefore, your answer to every question should be, "Scream like a woman and jump in the water".

This proves that you wasted your time and parents money going to college. If you would have broke in to the oilfield right out of high school you would know this by now.

This is only a portion of a 60+ question "assessment" packet I was given. I graduated from LSU in December of 2008 with a BS in Construction Management ... although important, these are crane operator questions ... help would be appreciated.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I hope you don't get the job.

Asking strangers on the internet is for sure the best place to seek out these answers

I would never rely on a single response; however, if multiple individuals respond in the same manner, then I would incline to answer as the mass. Not to mention this is an LSU website, and being an LSU grad I hoped to get a favorable response.
