Mastering Dual Crane Lifts: The #TeamLifting Way

Liebherr 60T Dual Lift

In the world of heavy lifting, where precision and collaboration are paramount, few tasks rival the complexity of balancing a load between two cranes. 

At Premier Cranes & Rigging, our #TeamLifting philosophy drives us to tackle these challenges head-on, ensuring safety, efficiency, and excellence at every step.

The Dual Lift Challenge: Beyond the Basics

Dual crane lifts bring unique challenges that demand careful planning and execution. 

Here are the critical aspects of a successful dual lift through the #TeamLifting lens:

  1. Load Distribution
    • Precise calculations are essential to distribute the load evenly between two cranes.
    • Understanding the load’s centre of gravity ensures balanced and safe lifts.
  2. Crane Selection and Capacity
    • Selecting the right cranes is crucial for safe operations. Each crane must handle its share of the load within capacity limits.
    • Premier’s diverse fleet, including Franna cranes, mobile cranes up to 450 tonnes, and crawler cranes up to 350 tonnes, provides the right solution for any lifting challenge.
  3. Coordination: The Heart of #TeamLifting
    • Coordination between cranes must be flawless, with every movement synchronised to maintain load balance.
    • At Premier, real-time communication and expert coordination are key to executing complex dual lifts successfully.
  4. Comprehensive Lift Planning
    • Detailed lift planning includes weight, dimensions, centre of gravity, lift points, and movement paths.
    • Our Engineered Lift Studies add precision through advanced engineering and scenario planning, ensuring all contingencies are covered.
  5. Rigging Done Right
    • Proper rigging is crucial, requiring meticulous design to evenly distribute the load.
    • Premier’s rigging services encompass planning, design, and execution, using specialised equipment to tackle complex challenges efficiently.
  6. Safety and Environmental Considerations
    • Stable, level ground and ideal environmental conditions are essential for safe lifts.
    • Premier’s commitment to safety ensures that all operations are carried out under optimal conditions, with strict safety protocols in place.
  7. Training and Competence: A #TeamLifting Imperative
    • Continuous training equips every team member with the skills needed for dual lifts, ensuring not just competence but excellence.
    • Our team’s expertise in dual lifts is a testament to the #TeamLifting commitment on every job site.
