Meanings
-
The live load due to the weight of snow on a structure, such as a roof; included in the design calculations.
Four 110-ton counterweights, one in each tower, make this feat possible by reducing the effective weight to be lifted to some 25 tons; but an additional 20 tons (a very heavy snow load) can be lifted if necessary.
