Testing
This crane has two primary functions; to lift 1500 pound loads, and to rotate at least 180 degrees with little effort, allowing a single operator to manipulate the crane. Testing these two functions will consist of operating the crane normally.
​
Test 1: Load test.
Practical load testing was conducted using an engine block. Crane had such minimal deflection that it was immeasurable. Result: Total success.
​
Test 2: Swing test.
The crane structure needs to be controllable by a single operator, which includes the swing of the crane up to 180 degrees. Result: Total Success.
​
Results: The results of the testing reveals that the original design intents of operation by a single user and load capacity were successfully met.
