Lift Operations Pocket Assistant – Slinging & Supervision Edition

Lifting Operations Pocket Assistant – Slinging and Supervising 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 Slinging and Supervising Edition is most suitable for Slingers, Riggers, Lifting Supervisors, Crane Operators and other Lifting Operatives.

It also provides a good foundation for the more in-depth Planning Edition.

Information in the Slinging and Supervising Edition:

• Considerations when assessing a load to be lifted
• Sling types and uses
• Easy sling length calculation formulae for balanced loads (2 and 4-point lifts)
• Uniform Load Method of rating for lifting accessories (rigging gear)
• Rated capacity table for using single-leg textile slings in a multi-leg arrangement
• Working Load Limits and basic guidance on use for common sizes of grade 8/80 chain slings
• Attachment of slings and shackles to loads
• Checks on trial lift to ensure safety when lifting a load
• Recognised hand signals and signalling tips

“Very informative and easy to understand. Every decent Supervisor, Slinger and Crane Operator should have one in their pocket.”
