📌 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲?
Crane Percent Capacity (% Capacity) is the percentage of the crane's rated lifting capacity that is being used during a lifting operation.
It helps determine whether a lift is within the crane's safe working limits and is an important factor in lift planning and risk assessment.
Using a crane beyond its rated capacity can result in:
⚠️ Crane overturning
⚠️ Structural failure
⚠️ Load drop incidents
⚠️ Serious injuries or fatalities
⚠️ Property and equipment damage
𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲
𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 = (𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝 ÷ 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲) × 𝟏𝟎𝟎
Where:
🔹 Actual Load = Total weight being lifted (load + rigging gear)
🔹 Rated Crane Capacity = Maximum allowable crane capacity at the specific boom length and radius from the load chart
𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
Site Conditions
Crane Rated Capacity at 20 m Radius = 50 Tons
Load Weight = 18 Tons
Rigging Weight = 2 Tons
Step 1: Calculate Total Load
Total Load = 18 + 2
Total Load = 20 Tons
Step 2: Calculate Percent Capacity
Percent Capacity = (20 ÷ 50) × 100
Percent Capacity = 40%
✅ Result
The crane is operating at:
➡️ 40% of its Rated Capacity
This lift is within the crane's allowable capacity limits.
𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞
Rated Capacity = 80 Tons
Total Load = 60 Tons
Percent Capacity = (60 ÷ 80) × 100
Percent Capacity = 75%
✅ Crane Capacity Utilized = 75%
⚠️ Extra attention should be given to wind speed, ground conditions, communication, and load control.
