What type of load is defined as dynamic?

Dynamic loads are those that change over time, often due to motion or varying intensity. In the context of cranes and diggers, a moving load is characterized by its ability to shift positions, which impacts the forces experienced by the equipment. This could include loads that move across the ground, change height, or fluctuate in weight during operation.

In contrast, static loads remain constant and do not change over time, making them easier to manage as they exert a stable force on the crane or digger. Fixed loads also imply a lack of movement, while weight loads can refer to the magnitude of static or dynamic forces but do not specifically indicate movement. Recognizing the nature of dynamic loads is crucial for operators to ensure safety and proper handling techniques.
