In crane operation, what does a reduced tire pressure indicate about load capacity?

In crane operation, reduced tire pressure generally indicates a decreased load capacity. When tire pressure is lower than the manufacturer's recommended levels, it can lead to increased tire deformation, which affects the stability and overall performance of the crane. This deformation can reduce the crane's ability to safely handle loads, as the tires may not be able to adequately support the weight, especially during lifting and maneuvering. Proper tire pressure is crucial for maintaining optimal load distribution and ensuring safety during operations. Therefore, when tire pressure is reduced, it is essential to recognize that the load capacity of the crane is compromised due to potential instability and increased risk of tipping or mechanical failure.
