Terex offers free lift planner

25 Feb 15 Terex Cranes has developed a new lift planning tool, which it says is the first in its industry to be offered free of charge.

Terex Liftplan is designed to speed up and simplify the process of selecting the right Terex crane to perform a configured lift. It is available online free of charge to anyone who owns a Terex crane and to their customers.

Product marketing manager Michael Klein said: “Historically, only customers with big machines and complicated lifts have used lift planning tools. Today, we are very happy that this facility is available to anyone who uses a Terex crane, as it will allow smaller jobs to be better planned and therefore safer. It might be the fleet owner contracted to carry out a particular project, or one of his hire customers needing information on site.”

Having first registered and then entered their personal settings, users can select from a range of Terex cranes and specify the load, height and radius of the lift involved. A copy of the lift plan is then available to print out.

The lift planning tool can even be used on site on an ad-hoc basis, Terex says, which could be useful for the crane driver should conditions change. The driver simply enters the new information and the system automatically does the rest.

Terex Lift Plan can be accessed via: www.TerexCranes-Liftplan.com
