When this configuration is selected, 3D Lift Plan will calculate the sling angles and tension, A1A Software claimed. The new configuration has two spreader bars and four roll-blocks.

For example, users can now: override the boom angle when using a load chart with fixed boom angles establish one crane in setup mode while simultaneously putting other cranes in normal operation mode for the creation of erection and dismantling plans and knife-jack a lattice boom with luffer to verify procedures for lowering long lattice/luffer combos into stowed position.Ī new rigging configuration has also been added to the standard options in the Advanced Rigging Design portion of the program. Other improvements, said A1A Software, offer users greater control of planning for unique lifting scenarios. Printouts of the crane mats in the lift plan now display corresponding images of steel mats instead of wood when steel mats are selected as part of the plan. This is in addition to the previous ability to select wood mats or DICA’s SafetyTech or FiberMax engineered outrigger pads or crane pads. Ground bearing calculations can now be made for steel mats with an option for layering steel mats over timber for better distribution of outrigger loads.

It is now possible in 3D Lift Plan to knife-jack a lattice boom with luffer to verify procedures for lowering long lattice/luffer combos into stowed position.Ī1A Software said users can now use the program to determine which type of crane pads or mats are best for the ground conditions.
