Use our custom dimension feature to display all the dimensions you need for your lift.
Dual-Crane and Three-Crane Lifts
Plan complex multi-crane lifts.  As the primary crane moves, the trailing cranes automatically adjust to accurately simulate your lift.  Throughout the lift, the load on each crane is calculated.  Tandem and trailing lifts are supported.
Lift Simulation...
  • Performs simulation of your lift while monitoring the crane’s capacity.
  • Change boom angle, jib length and offset, load location, and lift radius and 3D Lift Plan will automatically update your chart.
  • Allows you to view the load chart to see the capacity at various boom lengths and radii.
  • Automatically calculates Crawler Loads and Outrigger Loads, as well as ground bearing pressure below crane mats.
Crane Selection...
  • Searches your entire fleet of cranes in seconds.
  • Displays the most economical crane configurations that can handle your lift at the top of the results list, allowing you to save time sifting though charts or a long list of possible choices.
  • Accounts for any obstruction in your jobsite whether it’s to the side, front, rear or above the crane.
  • Provides several filter options so you can search only the cranes and configurations you choose.
3D Graphics...
  • Highly accurate graphics are in true 3D, allowing you to view the lift plan from any angle.
  • Easy to create detailed 3D jobsites and rigging designs.
  • Change ground and sky colors.
  • Import CAD drawings, Google Earth images, or any picture to accurately depict your lift.
  • Edit your jobsites in a two-dimensional drag-and-drop environment allowing you to create more complicated lift plans in less time.

The Crane Mat feature automatically calculates ground bearing pressure below the crane mats and the amount of stress being applied to the mats to make sure your design is sufficient.

Choose your rigging configuration and use our Sling Calculator to determine sling Tension, Angle, Length, and Height.
