February 25, 2015 - Terex Cranes now offers the Terex Liftplan, a free online lift-planning tool for Terex crane owners and customers. Terex Liftplan simplifies the process of selecting the right Terex crane to perform a configured lift.
Easy to access from any location, the Liftplan tool is available in nine different languages, uses either imperial or metric units, and it employs a variety of different methods to determine the best machine for the project. and most importantly, the entire process only takes a couple of minutes.
“Historically, only customers with big machines and complicated lifts have used lift planning tools," said Michael Klein, manager of product marketing. "Today, we are very happy that this facility is available to anyone who uses a Terex crane, as it will allow smaller jobs to be better planned and therefore safer. It might be the fleet owner contracted to carry out a particular project, or one of his hire customers needing information on site.”
Having first registered and then entered their personal settings, including a company logo, users can select from a range of Terex cranes and specify the load, height, and radius of the lift involved. A copy of the lift plan is then available to print out.
Importantly, the lift-planning tool can be used on site on an ad-hoc basis. This is particularly useful for the crane driver should conditions change. The driver simply enters the new information and the system automatically does the rest.
“We expect it to be used in a number of different ways, by different people: by Terex territory managers, Terex distributors when talking to new and existing customers, customers themselves and, of course, by hirers on a day-to-day basis who want to pre-plan their lifts and make sure they have the best Terex crane for the job in hand. Overall, it provides a real benefit for anyone choosing and using a Terex crane,” added Klein.
