Which device is used to gain more control of the load while keeping it away from nearby structures?

• A. Crane Hook
• B. Trolley Tag System
• C. Load Cell
• D. Pulley Block

Answer: (B)

Controlling the load’s path and keeping it clear of nearby structures is achieved by using a trolley system paired with tag lines. The trolley allows the load to move along a fixed track, while the tag lines give operators direct, hands-on control over the load’s direction and swing from a safe distance. By pulling on the tag lines, workers can steer the load away from walls, columns, or other obstacles as it’s hoisted and moved, reducing the chance of contact and enabling precise placement. The other devices don’t provide this combination: a crane hook is just the attachment point and doesn’t offer deliberate steering; a load cell measures weight but doesn’t influence motion; a pulley block changes mechanical advantage without giving operators control to steer the load away from obstacles.
