Question 2: When should you replace a crane's hoist drum?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

After every 1000 operating hours

If it shows signs of wear on the surface

Choose only one option

The load capacity decreases as the boom length increases

The load capacity is constant regardless of boom length

The load capacity increases initially but decreases at longer lengths

The load capacity increases with the boom length
