LiftPlanner is purpose-built software for professional crane lift planning. It gives operators, lift directors, riggers and engineers a fast, accurate way to visualize lifts, validate crane configurations, and eliminate guesswork before the crane ever arrives on site.

Some of LiftPlanner features are:
Clear 3D visualization of crane, load, and site conditions  
Accurate chart based capacity validation.
Real time geometry feedback as you adjust boom,
jib, radius, or load path
Built in safety logic that prevents invalid configurations
Exportable lift plans for customer review, internal documentation, or regulatory compliance

Why it matters: LiftPlanner replaces manual sketches, ad-hoc calculations, and inconsistent lift planning practices with a standardized, professional workflow. Built on the Platform that Serious Engineers Already Trust

“Inside AutoCAD. Not bolted on Top of a Browser.” Compatible with AutoCAD 2024–2027 ·Windows 11 Professional · Imperial & Metric · Authorized Autodesk Developer since 1995

"While most lift planning competitors have moved to browser-based subscription tools, LiftPlanner has stayed where serious lift planning actually happens — inside AutoCAD, on your machine, under your control."
