Lift planning
Lift plans that check themselves
Guided planners for side boom pipelayers and forklift trucks. Every capacity, radius and centre-of-gravity check runs as you enter the plan.
Lift planning
Side Boom Pipelayer Lift Planner
Plan a pipe-string lift with one or more side booms: pipe weight, work radius from trench geometry and set-back, load per machine against its chart, machine spacing and the duty limit.
- Pipe weight from size, schedule and coating
- Work radius from trench width, depth and soil
- Load per machine against the tipping chart
- Number of machines and spacing along the string
Lift planning
Forklift Truck Lift Planner
Forklift lifting plan for single loads, several loads on the forks and tubulars: combined centre of gravity, capacity at the actual load centre and lift height, and the 90 % duty check.
- Truck catalogue with plate capacity and load centre
- Your own site lists for locations, operators and trucks
- Capacity derated for lift height and load centre
- Combined COG for several loads on the forks
- Tubular bundles and pipe stacks
Lift plan wizard
What each plan records
Plan details sit alongside the engineering sheet, so the whole plan is saved, reviewed and printed together.
Plan details
Reference, site, client, lift date, description and the person preparing the plan.
Lift categorisation
Routine, simple, complex or critical, with the reasons recorded.
Ground conditions
Firm and level, natural ground, soft or made-up, near excavations, over services, with notes.
Load and COG
Load weight, dimensions and centre of gravity, including several loads on the forks and pipe strings.
Risk assessment
Hazards, controls, likelihood × severity rating and owner, with common lifting hazards one click away.
Equipment selection
Pick machines from catalogues of 915 forklift trucks and 67 side boom and boom combinations.
Plan library
Every plan in one place
Plans are saved to your account with their full input history. Filter by tool and status, duplicate a plan for a similar lift, or reopen an earlier version.
- Draft, submitted, approved and returned status
- Up to 20 earlier versions kept per plan
- Search by name, reference or site
