Boom Angle of Crane: Is High Extension Necessary?

[QUOTE="DaveC426913, post: 6411924, member: 15808"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] Is there a reason why a boom crane operator would extend the boom higher than physically necessary? These boat hauling cranes seem to extend their booms as high as possible. Much higher than necessary for the max height of the boat lifting rig. Does this accomplish something effort or safety-wise? It's not like a simple torque situation - the force applied is gravity - straight down - not perpendicular to the boom as it might be in a simple setup. [ATTACH type="full"]271956[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
