This is a broader term used when usually engineers are involved as the competent person in the lift planning to develop the lift plan, but not all designed lifts need engineering involvement, some of the designed lifts could be executed by competent persons like the lift supervisor.Īn engineered lift, on the other hand requires input from the engineer and the lift plan needs to be verified by the third-party reviewer. Some of these terms are explained in the Australian Standards (as noted above), but the examples given in the Australian Standards are not always in line with practical lifting practice, so there may be confusion on the scope, content, and application of these terms when planning a lifting task.Īmong these terms, Designed Lift and Engineered Lift are to some extent interchangeable terms.ĭesigned lifts, as defined in AS2550.1 are extraordinary and temporary lifting operations requiring an assessment of the design of the crane, which may require a temporary re-classification or re-rating or a change in the intended use of the crane. There are five common terms used in the crane industry relating to lift planning: You can watch this webinar here.įollowing on from the webinar, CICA released a Bulletin covering the terms we use for lift planning. In late November 2021, The Crane Industry Council of Australia’s (CICA) CEO Brandon Hitch and Stuart Edwards, Director of Edwards Heavy Lift, and CICA Technical Committee Member – presented the Federal Safety Commissioner Hazard 2020 webinar on lift planning for crane risk management.
