What is an Engineered Lifting Plan?

An engineering lifting plan is a detailed procedure for safely hoisting and maneuvering equipment. These designs typically involve design of lift points, evaluation of the strength and stability of the component, and general review for function and fit to ensure the component can be lifted and maneuvered safely. Lift plans may include the evaluation of the strength or stability of structures or mobile cranes and equipment for safely handling the lifting operation.
