ABSTRACT

A wrecker vehicle includes a chassis, a boom coupled with the chassis, and a
hoist device coupled with the chassis, the hoist device configured to engage a
line to position a piece of equipment relative to the chassis. The vehicle may
also include a controller configured to receive rigging setup data. The
controller may further determine a first utilization state, wherein the first
utilization state is a line load utilization state of the line, and a second
utilization state, wherein the second utilization state is a first block load
utilization state of a first sheave block. Further, the controller may be
configured to determine, based on a comparison of the first utilization state
to a first threshold and the second utilization state to a second threshold, a
rigging setup state, and provide an indication of the rigging setup state.
