B) The cranes are powered by independent internal combustion power units.

C) The cranes may be inter-connected for twin operation.

D) All of the above.

All of the given statements are false regarding a twin pedestal crane set.

Option D

Explanation:

Twin pedestal cranes are used for lifting and lowering very large unit loads. They are normally mounted on the same pedestal but the two towers are operated independently that is, each crane houses its own internal controls. Heavy loads are handle when the cranes are locked together.

Furthermore, more than two team cranes can function as team cranes mounted on opposing ends on different pedestals to handle even larger loads. When operating as team cranes, the twin cranes become electrically interconnected and the system can either be operated remotely from the deck of from one cab.
