Crane Lift Plans Still
Live on Paper
The Challenge
23 forms per critical lift
Lift plan, load chart review, rigging inspection, pre-lift meeting sign-off, signal person assignment, daily crane inspection, operator certification. Each one is a separate piece of paper.
Missing signatures shut down cranes
One missing signature on a daily inspection and OSHA can red-tag your crane. Your $40K/week crane sits idle because someone forgot to sign a form.
Rigging inspections are a formality
Pre-shift rigging inspections take 2 minutes on paper but should take 15 in reality. Crews check every box without actually inspecting because the form is an afterthought.
Signal person records are incomplete
Who was the qualified signal person for each lift? Paper records rarely capture this, creating OSHA exposure on every critical lift.
The POD Solution Path
Voice-captured lift documentation
Speak the lift details — load weight, radius, boom length, rigging configuration. POD populates the lift plan and flags any capacity concerns.
Digital inspection with prompts
Guided daily crane inspections that prompt each required check. No more skipping items. Digital signature captured on completion.
Signal person tracking
Assign and track qualified signal persons for every lift. Certification verification built in. No more compliance gaps.
Lift history dashboard
Every lift documented with load, configuration, crew, and conditions. Search any lift from any day instantly.
Built for Crane Operations
Load Chart Integration
Capacity verification against manufacturer load charts for every lift configuration.
Weather Monitoring
Wind speed alerts tied to crane operations. Auto-flag when conditions exceed safe lift parameters.
Certification Tracking
Operator and rigger certifications tracked with expiration alerts. Never have an unqualified person on a crane.
“OSHA showed up and asked for our lift plan from Tuesday. We had the plan but not the daily inspection or signal person assignment. Two-hour delay. POD would have had it in 10 seconds.”
