Term
Definition
Height
The vertical distance from the ground to the tip of the boom or attachment.
Hite
An abbreviation of the word height. The height of the boom pivot above ground level.
Horizontal
Parallel to the horizon.
Hydraulic cranes
Using the pressure of oil for operation.
Increment
The action of increasing a number or value.
Initializes
Erases all data from memory prior to a new calibration.
Integrated circuits
A tiny complex of electronic components and connections on a small slice of material
(such as silicon).
Measure height
To determine the vertical distance from below the boom pivot to the ground. Radius
measurements are made from these points when calibrating.
Microprocessor
A computer processor contained on an integrated chip.
Millivolt
One thousandth of a volt.
Moment
The product of force and distance in relation to a particular axis or point.
Out of duty
A point that is either longer than the longest permitted radius or lower than the lowest
permitted angle on a capacity chart.
Outrigger
A mechanical device that projects from the main structure of the crane to provide
additional stability or support.
Personality
A computer chip storing active calibration data.
Pressure
Hydraulic pressure in the boom hoist cylinder.
Radius
The horizontal distance from the centerline of rotation to the center of the hook.
Rated capacity
The lifting capacity of a crane, as determined by the manufacturer’s published capacity
chart.
Rated capacity
The load that a crane can safely support, based on factors such as strength, stability,
and rating.
Rating
A factor determined by legislation that limits the action of a crane in a lifting operation.
Usually expressed as a percentage of strength or stability.
Restore
Move data from a back-up chip to the personality “a” active chip.
Rom
“Read only” memory. Data can be read but not changed after programming.
Rope limit
The maximum permitted single line pull determined by the construction and diameter of a
wire rope.
Save
Move data from the working personality to a ‘write protected’ area of memory.
Scale
The use of a factor to set the scaling of analog sensors.
Scale
Something graduated when used in measurement.
Sensitivity
The capacity of a sensor to respond to physical stimulus.
Sensor
A device that responds to a physical stimulus and transmits a resulting impulse.
Sheave
A grooved wheel or pulley.
Slew offset
The horizontal distance from the boom pivot to the center of rotation.
Span
An extent or spread between two limits.
Span
The calibration of an analog sensor between zero and maximum span.
Stowed attachment
An attachment usually stored in an inactive position on the main boom.
Superstructure
The structural part of a crane above the carrier, usually rotating.
Swing
The rotation of a crane upper around its centerline.
