I'm having issues with problems with the fly can you do some with the fly
How long did it take you to do this? Just one problem. When they give you the test, you gotta do it a lot faster
what handbook are you using and how can I get started on learning this without going to school.
How do I find my counter jib radius for the tower crane ??
Hello there. THANK YOU SO MUCH BROTHER! Just passed all my recerts and you were the most valuable resource I had. Im going to let all my coworkers know about your channel. You're the fuckin man!!! Thank you again!!
Ordered the LAT, TSS and TLL charts. Very fast shipping! Thank you!
Thanks for the order!
Your video it’s not clear because it’s on a small view
Try watching it full screen on a decent size monitor. That might help. If you’re trying to watch it on a phone it’s not going to work very well. Phone screens are too small.
sure does look like that will be a pain in the ass, I think it would be quicker to draw it out myself, to much shit going on the computer screen,.
I’m with you. I would ask for the dry erase board and draw it out. I would not try to use the computer whiteboard to draw it out.
Thank you! I went to a school in Florida..the crane school back in 2000.. a guy name bud who was a friction operator at NASA back in the 60s 70s..taught us weeks of chart calcs.. spent last 24bfrom coast to coast for US Navy running cranes for contractors...cco got me in the door...cranes were a side biz for me being a steel erector..did well...thank God for TX and you.....
NC
Too far. If you had been Texas or OK I was going to offer to come help you get set up to study. If there is anything I can do let me know. I’d hate to see you retire before you’re ready.
How do crane operators become key board operators...this is a shame...
I agree. Operating a crane should be enough. I have a video showing how you can set up computer to practice and I have practice problems. It is a pain in the ass but it is the hand that's dealt.
Where are you at?
Tms 870 a bad ass crane...we had a few...iron horses...
I love your content but I think you have misprinted a few of your answers on the test 2 #52 and #9 of test 2 also possibly more than those two as I'm checking my answers and cross referencing, please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm getting ready to take my cert test in a few weeks.
Thanks. I’ll take a look. These are old question sets. Cross referencing, looking up the answers, to each question is great way to prep for test. I’ll eventually have new questions and there will be explanations for each question.
@@LoadChartLab love the load chart problems I have been using them to get my speed up 👍👍
dumbass me. Yes #52 is B, lay. #9 is A, use main hoist. Thanks for finding these typos. Please let me know if you find others.
Can someone explain why these tests are rushed and on a timer? I have been an operator for 40 years and have lifted critical power plant turbines...this is ridiculous and unsafe to make it a rush...
You are absolutely right! The last thing I want to do is rush the planning for a lift. I don’t know why but as long as I’ve worked with CCO it’s been a timed test.
At Kiewit we would spend 3-4 weeks planning some jobs. Double, triple checking everything. Meetings (sometimes too many meetings), district manager approval, etc.
Thank you for taking the time to make and upload your videos.
Just so I understand, with swing cab when using jib, the jib line and jib is already accounted for deduction but with manitowoc jib line needs to be deducted even if jib is use to lift, right?
Yes. When using jib with swing cab there will not be a deduction for the weight of jib or line. Manitowoc you do deduct the weight of line.
@@LoadChartLab thank you
This irritates me so much, in school we dont draw out the problem and your confusing me more
This is optional. Do it however you want. Do it how you did in school.
Thank you for helping us all out!
Time frame per problems go fast! I got all 5 specialties and my first TLL back in 2004...I just missed a few tower questions that didn't make a bit of sense...20 years it was simple! Are they trying to make this line pull a new safety standard.,I go for my other 4 by end of July...if I can't pass on second go around I will retire with 40 years of safe operator skills and let the young guys take the seat...NY state B license is 15 simple multiple choice questions which also are mind twisting and very odd questions...good luck to you all...
Hang in there. I do not like the new changes requiring everything on the computer. Not only do you need to know the material you have to be able to use the damn software they are requiring. I’m afraid we may lose our safest operators because they are going out of their way to make the test harder than it should be. We are going to end up with a bunch of operators who can pass the test but can’t run a crane. I am starting to think CCO wants people to fail so they have to pay for retakes.
I’m concerned with the use of the programming…you have made it seem easy…I may opt for a physical whiteboard..,if I do is it something I would have to show my work on? Also is your work on questions viewed by others? Appreciate your help with these videos… Grateful~
@@Mshoister1 The physical whiteboard (dry erase) is how I would do it. I would draw out the configuration and do it jusst like I do in my other tutorials. As far as I know they will not be looking at what you put on the dry erase and what you have on the dry erase will not affect your exam score. I do have to admit that I have not taken CCO exams with the new format. Last time I tested was three years ago. Good luck--practice.
July I’ll be going down to Crosby Texas for one month to learn multiple types of cranes, swing cab, lattice boom cranes including core exam and assembly Director.
Sounds like a good time. Should learn a lot in a month!
@@LoadChartLab second my friend, thanks for explaining the load chats for me, that really helped me out andawful lot. Been watching since December 2023. And perhaps one day I. May see you on a keiwit job somewhere.
What about the extra non required wire rope around sheaves on block and boom tip ? More than 5 lbs probably. Excellent channel Thank you
Don't have to worry about that. Just tip to ground.
I take my recerts on tuesday for the 20th year..i see its changed a bit ! Mostly all on pc..i prefer the scratch paper being old school! I passed taking 5 specialties in one long day back 5 years ago but now im taking 2! The book you referenced ITI..states min 2 full wraps min on drum but thebnccco test material i have says min of 3...these are answers guys may fail on...the crane school in florida back 20 years ago was the best! Bud was the teacher then...not sure hes still around....ty Bud...
Good luck on the recerts. I'm a paper guy too. The Garby book is consistent with the OSHA and ASME standards on number of full wraps on the boom hoist or load hoist drums. If you're talking about the Crane Institute of America, headquartered in Florida, I agree. When I was starting out in the late 90s / early 2000s I was in several of their workshops. Don't remember instructor names. Wraps on hoist drums: When it comes to wraps on the drum the following statement appears in paragraph 2-1.14.3 of ASME B30.2, paragraph 11-3.2.3 of ASME B30.11, and paragraph 16-1.2.6 of ASME B30.16. "No less than two wraps of rope shall remain on the drum at each anchorage of the hoist(ing) drum when the hook is in its extreme low position. If a machine is equipped with a lower limit device no less than one wrap shall remain" From an OSHA letter of interpretation: ". . . the extreme low position would be the lowest point that the hook could rest on the ground or floor while maintaining at least two wraps of rope. The requirements in the standard are designed so that sufficient and properly fastened rope remains on the drum and the rope does not slip off the drum." The following quotes are from the Crane Institute material, the Florida training organization: "No less than two full wraps or rope shall remain on the drum with boom point lowered to the level of the crane supporting surface" (ASME B30.5-1.3.1) "No less than two full wraps of rope shall remain on the drum when the hook is in its extreme low point" (ASME B30.5-1.3.2) www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2006-04-25-3#:~:text=No%20less%20than%20two%20wraps,than%20one%20wrap%20shall%20remain. I think what we may be running into is industry best practice versus legal mandates. Industry best practice followed by many companies is 3 wraps. If I saw the question I'm going with 2 wraps. CCO tests are largely based on the most widely applicable regulations, not best practices or company policy.
The core is way different now
I just took my Core and it's a joke I have years of material and i guessed on 75% of it and they need to bring paper load charts. That's BS also
I hope you guessed successfully. Did you pass?
@LoadChartLab yes I baught a online course. For core and 75% of the questions where not on it and scrolling down threw the load charts was very confusing. I think they should have paper charts again.
@@brianwills6796 congratulations on passing the test! Do you mean that 75% of the questions on the test were not covered in the online class? I'm going to work on developing an online class for the core and want to make sure I'm giving operators what they need. It has been a few years since I took the core myself. I should probably take it again.
I've been following your informative videos, for a while.. Thank you for your vested time and knowledge shared with us.
Thank you for your helpful tutorials. I am new to cranes, and because of your videos, I don’t feel clueless any longer.
Great to hear!
No offense to anyone but personally you guys have made this system way to difficult .Way to much stuff to have to remeber and watch out for.
Cool. Do it how ever you want. It has worked for hundreds of operators. Read the comments.
@@LoadChartLab I ha e looked at Comme ts a d there are people on here that are voice issues stuff they haven t seen the more that fail the more money ccco makes right.
Why do you multiply by .8
It's because of the load chart note requiring crane to be derated for duty cycle operations. I explain this starting at about the 4:15 mark in the video. We have to derate the crane by 20 percent (.2) when swinging a concrete bucket (duty cycle). 1.0 - .2 = .8. If the cranes gross capacity (from chart or line pull) is 6,000 lbs, we derate by multiplying 6,000 by .8. The crane's capacity during duty cycle operations (concrete bucket in this case) equals 6,000 x .8 = 4,800 lbs. If the manufacturer required a 25% (.25) derating we would multiply our gross capacity by .75.
Yeah, that’s how you do it. It would be nice if you had that much time per question to draw all that shit out you don’t get 4 or 5minutes per question.
If you average 4 minutes per question you will be alright. Done it. Hundreds of others have passed exam using this method. But operators can do it however they want--whatever works for you.
Great Job Thank You
You did a great job !!!! Thank you
Just wanted to thank for putting out such outstanding load chart guides! Practicing with your methods has helped me immensely on my exam!
Great to hear!
Do you have a video on Liebherr 1070 load charts?
Late reply. Sorry. Why do you need the Liebherr charts? Don't need those for CCO exams. Best bet would be to contact Liebherr.
I just tested today for my recertifications and I swear if it wasn’t for your new videos and older LBC now LAT I wouldn’t have passed! You simplify the charts so well! Thank you sir for helping out the crane community🫡
Great to hear!
I love the way you explain, or teach the load chart. I was confused with, when I see the deduction on a GL capacity. I do understand to have the world Deduction on Net capacity. To me it would make a difference. My second language is English, as soon that I see the world deduction it come to my mind subtractions. Thanks to your formula, but to better understanding I will use deduction for net and add for GL.
I took this test five times and passed it. I’m up for a renewal and I’ve already faild it three times and I don’t know what I am doing wrong. It’s the trick questions that’s killing us.
Late reply. Sorry. I hope you got it passed.
are these new problems? i purchase them 5 years ago when I was first getting Certified time to re cert getting ready
TLL are new to go along with the change CCO made--using Link Belt RT charts instead of Grove charts.
Is this for the crane link belt for the CCO test?
Yes--new problems to help prepare for TLL test, uses Link Belt RT charts.
This is awesome material. Thank you for making it and sharing it.
How do you find the gross capacity?
Gross capacity is lessor of the chart capacity or line pull (line capacity).
Why no 1 part line deduction?
For this crane the load chart notes only require deduction for "excess wire rope." Not like the LAT (Manitowoc) test where all wire rope is deducted. Pain in the ass but we have to go with the instructions in the load chart notes which means a change up from one test / crane to another.
Thanks man. I should have reviewed this before wasting 85$ for my lattice recert...i havent been on them in 5 years. Now i hsve to do practical too. Yea, about 500$ down the toilet...
Do you put on a school?
Not at the moment. I will be starting a new venture over the summer with online classes and I will also be able to do face to face classes for companies. Online classes will have several variations but focus on CCO mobile crane certification--core and specialty exams. I will eventually expand to include materials for tower crane and lift director certs.
Thanks very much.
Such a great review! Outstanding examples and explanations! Great job and I appreciate your videos!
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I’m just getting into the crane world at 60 years old. They have definitely been an added study help.
Thanks for all your hard work. The way you organize the numbers on the diagram has helped me immensely. Twice already! 🤩🤩
It says on this playlist there are 4 unavailable videos. Curious what they are and how we can get averse to them. Thanks.
They are videos related to selling practice problems on Amazon. When I quit using Amazon I made them unavailable. More material is coming. I'm going to be going all in on Crane Operator test prep over the next several months. I'll be developing material to help operators prepare for the core exam and eventually will develop "classes" for the lift director and tower crane operator certifications.
Excellent video. Explained everything great and really made it easy to understand.
It's really helpful. Please help me find this particular angle and radius load to prepare the load chart
Anyone get the correct answer to the 😊trick cco test question , when can you leave the crane unattended
