Abstract
A load line guide is configured to direct a load line of an crane along a boom assembly, the load line guide comprising a guide housing and a first guide cam. The guide housing presents a gap oriented in a lateral direction and a channel oriented in a longitudinal direction. The first guide cam is pivotably secured to the guide housing and disposed in the gap. The first guide cam is configured to be selectively placed into an open position and a closed position. While the first guide cam is in the open position, the load line guide is configured to receive the load line into the channel of the guide housing; and while the first guide cam is in the closed position, the guide housing is configured to retain the load line guide within the channel of the guide housing.
