The software utilizes high-tech and highly accurate 3D graphics, along with a powerful simulation engine and intuitive controls to allow you to easily and accurately model your job site. 3D lift planning is done with just such a program. If you’ve ever wished you could simply observe your job site in miniature and manipulate your cranes and stocks of materials in scale to come up quickly and easily with the best plan of action for the job, in a visual representation of the worksite that is intuitive and easy to understand, then you’re not alone. That’s where a program with the ability to plan lifts in 3D comes in. However, even planning can prove to be inefficient, in and of itself, and difficult to do because of all the math and materials involved.

Having a solid plan of action is, indeed, the best way to avoid paying too much every time the crane needs to be used for a job.

More often than not, a smaller crane can be utilized to perform the lifts, saving time and money and increasing safety on the site. However, with careful planning of the operation, and of the necessary lifts to be made, you can reduce the costs involved with a crane or crane truck and help make sure that you are not going over budget. Paying for transport and the per hour fully maintained and operated cost, mobile crane rental can become an expensive endeavour. The costs can build up and quickly overrun your budget if you’re not careful.Įven if you decide only to rent a crane or boom truck when the need arises, the costs to rent a crane can quickly add up. From the initial cost of the machine itself, to the expensive and extensive maintenance schedule, the labour, certification, staffing costs of the operators, supporting employees, the costs of storing and transporting cranes from site to site, and, finally, the expense of running the cranes per hour. There’s no doubt that cranes are one of the most expensive pieces of construction equipment to own and operate.
