Lift Operations Pocket Assistant – Planning Edition

Lifting Operations Pocket Assistant – Planning Edition

The ever-popular Lifting Operations Pocket Assistant (LOPA) is back!

And now, it’s more visual than ever and split into two versions:

• Slinging and Supervising Edition
• Planning Edition

Since 2017, the LOPA has been used by Lifting Operations Professionals across the globe as a quick and easy reference for planning and carrying out lifting operations.

Features of the LOPA:

• At A6, it is the ideal size to be kept in the pocket and remain with the user
• The waterproof material will maximise lifespan through minimising damage from water, dirt and lubricants on-site
• Clear and to-the-point diagrams and information, across nine pages, for Lifting Professionals to refer to
• Spiral binding means ease of opening and staying on the page of use

Feedback from Lifting Professionals around the industry helped put together clear information on some of be most commonly misunderstood and incorrectly applied elements of lifting.

This Planning Edition is most suitable for Lift Planners (Appointed Persons), Senior Lifting Supervisors and Lifting Operations Managers.

This builds on the simpler information that is in the Slinging and Supervising Edition and can be used in conjunction with it.

Information in the Planning Edition:

• Load centre of gravity calculation
• Share of load for offset centre of gravity (can be applied to multi-crane lifts)
• Individual sling length for asymmetrical loads
• Actual sling tension in accordance with the angle and load
• Sling length and rating for cylindrical loads
• Common proximity hazards and relevant precautions/requirements
• Simple mat area calculations for mobile cranes (and other types of equipment if point-loading can be obtained)
• Wind speed calculations for mobile and crawler cranes

“I recommend this to anyone in the lifting industry. My copy has been instrumental in my development and is in my pocket, where it’s been every day for the past 4 years, still going strong.”
