Ladder Operations Manual Practice Test

What is the SP-95 platform tip load when dry?

500 lbs 750 lbs 1,000 lbs 1,250 lbs

Correct Answer:

1,000 lbs

Explanation:

Platform tip load is the maximum weight the platform can tip with before stability is compromised. For the SP-95 in dry conditions, that limit is 1,000 pounds, including the operator and any tools or materials on the platform. This rating reflects how weight, when positioned on the platform, affects balance and tipping risk under normal, dry operating conditions. Staying at or below 1,000 pounds helps ensure the platform remains stable as you move or adjust your position, and as loads shift. Values like 500 or 750 pounds are too low for typical job needs, while 1,250 pounds would exceed the safe tipping limit and increase the chance of tipping, especially if the load isn’t perfectly centered or the platform is extended.
