Project overview
Start with the lifting task, not a catalogue capacity.
1. Overview
The project team needed to review a repeated lift involving long fabricated assemblies. The primary question was not simply capacity: it was how load distribution and lifting points would behave through each movement.
The review organized drawings, weight, crane data and site constraints into a defined lifting brief that became the basis for selection and approval.
2. Method
| Step | Focus |
|---|---|
| Load envelope | Weight range, dimensions, CoG assumptions, lifting points, frequency |
| Operating conditions | Crane capacity, hook height, travel path, access limits, storage |
| Configuration brief | Proposed arrangement, limits, inspection needs, documents |
3. Result
- Consolidated brief for quotation comparison
- Defined basis for point layout and operating limits
- Checklist for project team review before purchase
