This is because a crane can move much load a little distance from the centre of slew, or a lighter load a bigger distance from the centre of slew.

Employing a crane is an infinitely more complicated procedure than you might expect if you are a first-time hirer.
As can be expected with any large bit of industrial machinery there are complicated Health and Safety processes to comply with.
The consumer should provide an designated person and offer the hire company operator with reveal strategy and protection statements, drafted by a competent and skilled person, prior to the lift when selecting a crane problems. The person should supervise the raising procedure as detailed in BS 7121 (Safe Usage of Cranes) and provide skilled personnel such as slingers, signallers and crane operators.
Plant and employing cranes is inevitably accompanied by risk. The cost of today's mobile crane ranging from 100,000 to significantly more than 2million, the economic effects in the event of an incident may be huge.
Being a customer employing a crane or other item of plant, you'll have to meet the crane hire organization that you have adequate insurance policy for these risks:
1. Lack of, o-r damage to, the crane though on hire.
2. Continuing hire charges whilst the crane is under repairs
3. Problems for the owner.
4. Alternative party cover (problems for other parties, including damage to their property.)
Crane hire companies can arrange cover for lack of, or harm to, the crane whilst on hire and continuing hire costs whilst the crane is under repair. Insurance cover for removed materials can be available.
Contract Comes
As described in Crane Hire, all crane lifts must comply fully with BS7121 Safe Use of Cranes element 1 General 1989 and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations LOLER. Both these regulations lay down the requirements of most personnel associated with a crane lift.
In-a Contract Lift, the Hire Company will choose the crane for the work, increase the risk analysis and method statement, organize the correct degree of insurance and the traffic management. With the introduction of BS7121 (British Standard Code of Practice for the Safe Usage of Cranes) and LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) customers who don't have sufficient experience and understanding of crane operations frequently prefer to place orders on the agreement raise basis.

A Crane Hire contract becomes a Lift contract when the crane manager provides the Appointed Person and, therefore, takes responsibility for several facets of the lift.
All crane hire companies offer a Contract Lift Service. That minimizes clients of the responsibility for preparing a method statement, threat review, berthing study, lift plan and managing and supervising the lifting operation. The crane hire company requires all the danger and concern away from clients, having a full and professional tailor-made deal where their experienced and trained workers handle the whole lifting process from initial idea right through to managing the ultimate lift.
In a Contact Lift the customer remains responsible for providing accurate data relating to both the objects to be put and to the surface conditions. The customer must also have public liability insurance.
A longer notice period will be required by the preparation time required to produce the relevant Method Statements and Risk Assessments for a Contract Lift than for Crane Hire.
