The maximum single float load from a boom over corner position and maximum
concurrent pair of float loads from a boom over side and back positions are listed.
Typically, the float loads are at the maximum when lifting the rated load at a short
radius (20 ft [6.1 m] and less) and should be used for design. However, for existing
piers and wharves, the other listed loads may be used to analyze deck capacity.
Typical outrigger float spacing is shown in Figure 3-3. Apply outrigger float loads to
a 1.5 ft by 1.5 ft (0.46 m by 0.46 m) area unless actual float size is known, in which
case use the actual float size for analysis.
