Abstract
A weight for operating the lift-limiting switch of a crane, especially a telescoping-boom crane, is composed of two identical castings connected together by a hinge at one side and having a lock on the opposite side which, when actuated, holds the two members around the crane cable but which can be opened to allow the weight to be placed over the cable or to be removed therefrom.
