Lifting & Crane Planning

HJ Engineering provides comprehensive crane lift planning services for construction and industrial projects across Australia. From single-crane lifts to complex multi-crane tandem operations, we deliver engineered lift plans that meet regulatory requirements and site-specific constraints.

Our lift planning covers crane selection verification, outrigger load calculations, ground bearing pressure assessment, and detailed rigging design. We work directly with crane operators and site teams to ensure plans are practical and executable.

For complex lifts involving multiple cranes, engineered lifts near live services, or lifts requiring specialist rigging arrangements, we provide independent engineering review and PE-certified documentation.

Deliverables

• Crane lift plans with load charts and radius verification
• Outrigger load calculations and ground bearing assessment
• Rigging design — sling selection, shackle sizing, spreader beams
• Lifting studies for complex or tandem crane operations
• Independent engineering review and PE sign-off
• Site-specific risk assessment and engineering controls
