Lift Planning - Best Practices
       
       
Important information needed to plan your lift:
       
1) Weight of item + rigging  
Accurate Weight of the heaviest and/or deepest object(s) including all rigging and packaging.
2) Distance Up (height)
Height of Structure from ground to the highest point the crane/load must clear.
3) Distance Away   Distance from crane centerpin to the wall/boom intersect of the structure.
The wall intersect is where the wall intersects a straight line drawn from the crane centerpin to the center of the load. It includes any offsets and/or adjustments
4) Distance In   Distance from the wall intersect to the center of gravity of the object being placed on the structure
 
The Overall Crane Radius is the distance from centerpin of the crane to the
center of gravity of the object(s) being lifted (distance away + distance in)
