What happens if one crane lands the load during a dual-lift operation?

In a dual-lift operation, if one crane lands the load while the other crane is still in operation, it can lead to an imbalance in the load distribution. This situation may cause the crane that continues to lift to become overloaded, as it may have to compensate for the load that was meant to be shared between both cranes.

Handling loads with two cranes requires careful coordination to ensure that the load is evenly distributed and that neither crane exceeds its rated capacity. When one crane releases or sets down its portion of the load, the remaining crane may inadvertently take on a greater portion of the total load than it was designed to handle, potentially leading to an overload condition. Thus, it is crucial that such dual-lift operations are managed meticulously to avoid overloading and jeopardizing safety.
