Mobile Crane Principles: 

Mobile crane are versatile lifting equipment, crucial in various industries, including construction, mining, and manufacturing. They operate on the principles of balance and leverage, utilizing a counterweight system to balance the load and a boom to lift and move objects. Proper understanding and application of these principles are vital to ensure safe and efficient crane operations.

Regular inspections 

Are crucial to identify potential issues and ensure the mobile crane is in good working condition. During an inspection, key components such as the boom, cables, pulleys, hooks, and safety devices are thoroughly examined. The inspection also includes checking for any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction.

Potential Issues with Mobile Cranes

Mobile cranes, like any other machinery, can encounter issues if not properly maintained and operated. Some common problems include:

1. Mechanical Failures: These can occur due to wear and tear, lack of maintenance, or manufacturing defects. Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to prevent mechanical failures.
2. Overloading: Lifting loads beyond the crane's capacity can lead to structural damage or crane collapse. Always adhere to the crane's load capacity and follow proper lifting procedures.
3. Improper Setup: Setting up the crane on unstable or uneven ground can result in tipping or collapse. Ensure the crane is on stable ground and properly leveled before operation.
4. Lack of Training: Operators must be adequately trained and certified to handle mobile cranes. Inadequate training can lead to improper crane operation and increased risk of accidents.
