Frequently Asked Questions
A lift plan is required for every crane lift. Critical lifts — typically defined as lifts exceeding 75% of the crane's rated capacity, lifts over occupied areas, or lifts requiring multiple cranes — require a detailed engineered lift plan reviewed by a qualified person.
The template calculates total suspended load (lifted load + rigging + block/headache ball), compares it against the crane's rated capacity at the operating radius, and computes the capacity utilization percentage. It also accounts for wind, dynamic loading, and ground slope deductions.
Yes. The rigging checklist covers sling inspection (type, size, condition, rated capacity), hardware inspection (shackles, hooks, spreader bars), and configuration verification (sling angles, D/d ratios). Each component is signed off before the lift proceeds.
