By the end of the course, you will have a clear understanding of how to create a lift plan and be able to confidently apply this knowledge to your own crane operations. The first step is to analyse the load weight, dimensions, lifting points, and centre of gravity. Build and customize your own Lifting Crane. We will explain the purpose of each section and provide you with practical tools and techniques to ensure that your lift plan is comprehensive and effective. Kit includes pre-cut wood pieces, screws and nails required to assemble Lifting Crane.

Throughout the course, we will cover each section of the lift plan, including load-lifting points, lifting accessories, lifting equipment, anchor points, lift team, environmental conditions, and many others. The safety policy lf It‘s Not Safe, Don‘t Do It is important not only for your safety, but the safety of your coworkers.

If you’re working with a newer crane, its load moment indicator (LMI) is likely.

If personnel, weather, ground conditions, or the immediate surroundings have changed in any way, your operator may need to evaluate whether a new lift plan is needed. The course is designed to be internationally compatible with offshore and onshore environments to meet API RP2D, ASME - Technical Standard P30.1, and the UK’s “Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations”. An understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the equipment will support this. If a lift plan is created, all individuals involved should review the lift plan before the lift. The aim of this course is to instruct those individuals and lift team members with lift plan responsibilities, such as Competent or Appointed Persons, Reviewers, Approvers, Crane Operators, and Riggers, on the level of detail and content that needs to be considered and included in a lift plan.
