Crane lift planning software

Coordinate the crane, load schedule, working positions and site evidence in one planning workflow. LiftPlanProUK supports mobile and crawler crane lift-plan preparation for UK construction teams, with drawing tools and documentation for review.

A typical planning task

A crane is installing several steel members at different positions. The governing lift may be the member with the longest working radius rather than the heaviest member. Record each planned position, gross lifted weight and applicable configuration so the reviewer can assess the full sequence.

Plan around the real configuration

Crane model, boom and jib, counterweight, outrigger setup and working sector all matter to capacity. Keep the selected configuration and manufacturer evidence together, and check the pickup, load path and landing positions.

  • Record the configuration and relevant duty chart.
  • Assess gross lifted weight including rigging.
  • Review the governing planned radius for each load.

Connect drawings and site information

Mobile and crawler workflows include scaled plan and elevation drawing tools. Use them alongside ground information, exclusion zones, load routes and proximity hazards to explain the intended operation to the reviewer and lifting team.

  • Show machine and load positions clearly.
  • Record ground, mat or support information appropriate to the operation.
  • Identify boundaries, overhead services and adjacent work.

Keep review and revisions organised

The load schedule, supporting evidence and approval records should describe the same operation. LiftPlanProUK brings these records together and provides PDF documentation. Changes to loads, radius, setup or site conditions need competent reassessment.

  • Maintain a clear lift schedule and current revision.
  • Keep drawings and supporting documents with the plan.
  • Use professional support or independent verification when required.
