About Our Crane Lift Calculator:

Crane lifting is serious work – one wrong calculation can cause damage, delay or a dangerous accident. That’s why we built our Crane Lift Calculator to help you calculate the correct lifting capacity based on:

✔ Load weight
✔ Rigging & sling weight
✔ Crane radius
✔ Boom length
✔ Lift angle
✔ Total load on hook

This tool helps contractors, riggers, supervisors and engineers plan lifts safely and accurately.

Why Use Our Crane Lift Calculator?

We created it to support real construction and heavy lifting workflow.

How To Use This Tool?

  1. Enter load weight
  2. Add rigging weight (slings, shackles, hook block)
  3. Enter crane radius
  4. Enter boom length or lift height
  5. Add safety factor
  6. Click Calculate

You will get:
✔ Total load
✔ Safe lifting capacity
✔ Required crane size
✔ Lift radius impact
✔ Safety factor applied
✔ Clean summary for site planning
