lifting crane has main hoist / auxillary hoist that is part of the lifting cane. Does the load chart include the weight of the main hoist / auxillary hoist? for example, main hoist weight is 500 kg. the load chart indicates load 900 kg at 5m. Then, whether the actual load is (900-500 = 400kg) or 900kg?

the hoist are an integral part of the crane and is calculated, you must factor in total load including slings, shackles etc and also the hook block weight.
