When placing a load, what should the landing point be able to do?

The landing point must be capable of supporting the weight of the load to ensure safety and stability during unloading. This is critical because if the landing area cannot bear the weight, it may collapse, potentially leading to accidents, damage to the load, or injury to personnel. The structural integrity of the landing point is paramount; it should be constructed to handle the maximum load it might encounter during operations.

Other considerations, such as whether the point is high or far, rolling and adjustable, or movable and lightweight, do not address the fundamental requirement of load support. While these aspects might provide certain operational advantages, they do not replace the necessity for a secure landing location that can withstand the anticipated weight. The primary focus for any hoisting operation should always be on safely managing and distributing loads without risking harm or damage.
