Will a Cranemaster Shock Absorber have any effect on peak loads for lifts in air?

Yes, utilization of a Cranemaster shock absorber will have an effect on peak loads for lifts in air. When there is relative motion between a lifted object and the boom tip, a snap load will occur. As a consequence, the dynamic amplification factor (DAF) will increase and potentially lead to unacceptable high peak loads. A Cranemaster unit will work as a shock absorber, efficiently removing these snap loads, and as a result reduce DAF and improve safety. Typically, this will enable you to conduct such lifts in higher sea states, and thereby increasing the operational weather window.
