What should be attached to the load to help guide positioning during lift?

• A. Tag lines
• B. Hose lines
• C. Electrical cables
• D. Winch lines

Answer: (A)

Tag lines are attached to the load to help guide positioning during lift. They give the ground crew a direct, controllable way to influence the load’s motion and orientation, reducing sway and rotation as the load is moved into place. By pulling on a tag line, the handler communicates direction and helps the operator keep the load aligned, especially when visibility is limited or there are obstacles. Attach tag lines to approved lift points on the load, keep them manageable, and have a ground guide trained to work with the operator. Tag lines are for guidance, not for lifting or securing the load; other lines such as hose lines, electrical cables, or winch lines have different purposes and should be kept clear of the load path.
