To determine the capacity from the crane when the panel is lifted from floor it is necessary, in addition to the weight of panel, to keep in mind an additional factor for the suction effect with the floor? That value is the factor?
I wait their answer of help

Offhand, I would suggest that the crane be rated much higher than the actual pick to account for many factors that may not be accounted for at design. However, I am not specifically aware of any suction factor applied to panels to be picked.

Many times when we are dealing with work in place and have to also pick against adhesion, friction or suction it is best to have the most next highest rated crane for your operation to save time and sleep!
