Carry-Deck Crane Practice Test

Net Capacity is calculated by which formula?

Net Capacity = Net Load - Deductions Net Capacity = Deductions - Gross Capacity Net Capacity = Gross Capacity - Deductions Net Capacity = Load Weight

Correct Answer:

Net Capacity = Gross Capacity - Deductions

Explanation:

Net capacity is the actual lifting capacity available after accounting for reductions. You start with gross capacity—the maximum load the crane can lift under standard conditions—and then subtract deductions that reflect safety factors, rigging, line dynamics, wind, temperature, and other influences. This gives the usable capacity for a given setup. For example, if the gross capacity is 10 tons and deductions total 1.5 tons, the net capacity is 8.5 tons. The other formulas don’t reflect this practical relationship: net capacity isn’t derived from subtracting deductions from the load to be lifted, nor is it the opposite of deductions minus gross capacity, nor simply the load weight itself.
