“As an example, most recent football stadium projects would have been impossible to accomplish without precise 3D modeling of both cranes and the structures themselves to prevent conflicts,” said Jatho.Ī1A Software will soon be releasing a 3D rigging designer app, which enables robust rigging planning to be done independently of 3D Lift Plan. Jim Jatho, product manager crawler cranes for Liebherr USA, mentioned that for larger, more complex projects, there has been a strong emphasis onģD planning and integration of real-world data, such as Google Maps, BIM data and field surveys/laser scanning.
Engineers and lift planners are still utilizing lift planning tools in desktop mode back at the office, however, app-friendly lift planning is sufficient for preliminary plans and estimating.” “Mobile device applications enable work to get done more efficiently, especially for sales and estimating tasks,” said Tawnia Weiss, president, A1A Software. But for identified lifts, be it critical lifts by whatever definition, it illustrates that there’s a plan and consideration for critical factors, rather than showing up and assuming everyone knows everything, which tends to be one of the common factors in an accident.”Ī1A Software has seen that as customers increasingly need lift planning tools in the field, lift planning is becoming more app driven. Obviously, the cranes are there making lots of other lifts. “It makes everybody address certain factors of the lift to develop a plan,” added Collins. While it continues to develop, the technology is also becoming more attainable. “It’s not just for the people that have their own engineering firm or their own CAD. “It’s a great equalizer for the crane owner to be able to deliver a lift plan that both appears, delivers and illustrates state-of-the-art planning and data,” said Pat Collins, director, product marketing, Link-Belt Cranes. With millions of configuration options, this evolving technology is a critical part of a successful and safe lift. Lift planning software is a necessary step when planning picks.
However, it’s not a game and the stakes are high and very real.
