Crane Lift Planning: A Safety-First Checklist

Every safe lift begins long before the crane arrives on site. A documented lift plan protects your crew, your schedule and the surrounding public, and it is a non-negotiable part of how Al Rushd International operates.

Confirm ground bearing capacity and use outrigger mats where required. Verify the load weight, radius and the crane's rated capacity at that radius against the manufacturer load chart — never the boom length alone. Establish exclusion zones and assign a qualified signaller for every lift.

When you hire an operated crane from Al Rushd, our certified operators arrive with the documentation, rigging knowledge and safety discipline to execute the plan exactly as written.
