During a pick and carry operation, what is one important factor to consider?

In a pick and carry operation, one critical factor to consider is the turn radius. When moving a load, especially in confined or tight spaces, the ability to maneuver the crane safely becomes essential. The turn radius affects how close the crane can get to obstacles and ensures that the load remains stable while turning. A smaller turn radius allows for easier navigation, while a larger radius may require more space and careful planning to avoid tipping hazards or collisions.

While aspects such as load weight, tire pressure, and weather conditions are also important for overall safety and operation, the turn radius specifically addresses the operational dynamics related to carrying and positioning a load, which is crucial for preventing accidents during movement.
