Final answer:

During a load test on a hoist, you typically apply between 80% and 100% of the manufacturer's rated load.

Step-by-step explanation:

During a load test on a hoist, you typically apply between 80% and 100% of the manufacturer's rated load. This range allows for testing the hoist's capacity and ensuring it can handle the maximum load it is designed for.

For example, if the manufacturer's rated load for the hoist is 1000 kilograms, you would apply a load between 800 kg and 1000 kg during the load test.

This range ensures that the hoist will be tested under realistic conditions and provides a safety margin to account for variations in the load and potential overloading situations.
