Low Ball Construction Co. has determined that the heaviest load to be lifted on one of its projects weighs 22,000 lbs. From the tower crane location on the building site, the required reach for this lift will be 100 ft. The crane is equipped with an L7 jib and a four-part hoist line (Table 16.3 load chart). This critical lift is of a piece of mechanical equipment and will require a 1,000-lb spreader bar attached to a 200-lb set of slings. If assembled in the proposed configuration, can the crane safely make the pick?
