Can a horizontal l-beam support a greater load when the web is horizontal or when the web is vertical?
The web should be in vertical.
Weight should never be placed on the rear of the forklift to increase lifting capacity.?
When picking up a load, the forks should be A. Tilted back. B. Completely level. C. Tilted as far forward as possible. D. It does not matter.
When operating a forklift loads should be carried how far off the ground?
6-12 inches above ground, tilted slightly back, and able to see over the load.
How should a forklift operator travel with a full pallet on the forks?
Forks slightly tilted back, one foot above ground, be able to see ahead over the load
When picking up load it should be tilted?
The question sounds like a forklift question? It depends on the load. Some loads are better picked up and kept level (water in an open tank, for instance). Other loads must be picked up and tilted backwards for stability. It is up to the forklift driver to use his or her's experience, judgement and expertise. Another thing is to keep the load as close to the ground as reasonable, in order to keep the centre of gravity low. Also, in most cases, you must reverse down a steep slope (ramp) or risk tipping over and losing the load!
What is the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane that is vertical?
It is equal to the ratio of the load divided by the distance of the fulcrum.
What is the comparison between common arch and inverted arch?
The "inverted arch" is used when a sideways, or inward load, is to be resisted. The "common arch" supports a vertical load.
What are the functions of a column?
columns are vertical load bearing members of a structure. They provide support by carrying beams ( horizontal load bearing members ). The safe load for a column can be calculated by Euler's formula or Rankine's formula.
When a horizontally laid out of beam is subjected to a vertical load which part expresses compressive stresses?
If the load is from the top pointing down, compessive stress is at the top and tension at the bottom
A crane raises a 2.5 ton load vertically in 4 minutes and 10 seconds The crane motor is rated at 10kW What is the vertical height to which to load is raised?
101.9m
What is the minimum recommended tilt angle on a forklift?
Tilt is always "back" - toward the machine - so the load won't slide off the forks. It's recommended to tilt the load back as far as can be done safely. If you have a stable pallet, the best thing to do is tilt as far back as the machine will let you. More important is load height. Until you absolutely MUST lift the load, keep it about four inches off the floor.
Why there should be a gap between the load applied to the structure and the factored load on the design?
to minimize over load
