All software updates are available to users without any action needed on their part,” says Tawnia Weiss, president of A1A Software. 3D Lift Plan has always been a cloud-based software, eliminating the need for user updates. “3D Lift Plan is a lift planning and risk management tool for crane owners, enabling users to create detailed jobsites and other procedural documents, such as critical lift worksheets, rigging lists, and ground bearing pressure worksheets. The company got its start by developing the well-known lift planning program called 3D Lift Plan, and it now offers other business management tools specific to the needs of crane and construction equipment owners. When a contractor has a documented lift plan it’s almost like having an additional insurance policy that the lift will go smoothly.Ī1A Software based in Florida, USA, develops software and interfaces for the construction industry. Even the most straightforward lift needs a plan, to make sure the lift happens safely within the limits of the equipment, site conditions and personnel. The old adage “Failing to plan is planning to fail” especially holds true in material handling operations. Now, they are so versatile with added 3D rendering that the plans can even be used as marketing aids when competing for a contract. Lift planning software originally gave crane operators and contractors the ability to document tricky lifts and explore any parameters that could become a safety issue.
