Determining the
operating
conditions
(load spectrum)
The truck crane's load spectrum is divided into groups (see also ISO 4301/1,
FEM 1.001):
H
When determining the load spectrum, the existing rope pull is used as the
standard, i.e. under certain circumstances, the truck crane can be
supporting a small load, whereby the winch is actually supporting a heavy
load, e.g. due to insufficient reeving. Therefore, the following graphic
representation of the load spectrum refers to the winch's rope pulls.
