Process

Lift Planning Services has developed a standard lift plan outline for the Washington DC / Baltimore Metro markets to meet the requirements of the Federal Government, the US Military, and industry leading general contractors. Our typical lift plan is based on a custom AutoCAD crane layout over a scaled aerial picture and/or scaled site plans for the project and is scalable to your local market. We also prepare and submit 3D Lift Plan drawings and details upon request. Lift Planning Services uses the crane and equipment manufacturers tools for selection, scaling and outrigger loading as applicable.

Among the most important parts of the lift plan are outrigger mat calculations and the corresponding ground bearing pressures. OSHA 1926.1402 places the responsibility on the controlling entity for ensuring that ground preparations meet the requirements of the section. Lift Planning Services believes every lift plan should provide the controlling entity with accurate ground bearing pressures exerted by the crane for each lift.

In order to respond quickly to your lift planning needs, we have an onboarding process with our customers. This process facilitates the exchange of pertinent information for lift planning such as crane data and personnel certification as well as creating the necessary templates and forms required to prepare your company’s specific lift plans quickly and accurately. Lift Planning Services will create a lift plan request form that is specific to your company that will be used to help simplify the lift plan ordering process.  It is important to maintain up-to-date annual inspections and employee certifications. To this end, Lift Planning Service helps our customers maintain and track their crane inspections as well as their employees’ certifications.
