Custom Lift Planning & Engineering Houston TX | Express Crane & Rigging

Custom Lift Planning
& Engineering

Complex lifts require more than a crane and a hook. Our team of certified operators, experienced riggers, and engineers develops comprehensive lift plans that account for every variable — minimizing risk and maximizing efficiency.

What We Plan
Engineering for Every Critical Lift
ENG
Engineered Lift Plans
Detailed documentation covering crane configuration, rigging hardware, load angles, ground bearing pressure, and all safety parameters for the specific lift.
RIG
Rigging Design
Selection and specification of all rigging hardware — slings, shackles, spreader bars, and attachment points — engineered for the load and lift geometry.
GRD
Ground Assessment
Soil bearing capacity evaluation and outrigger pad design to ensure stable crane setup — critical for heavy lifts on soft or uncertain ground.
COG
Center of Gravity
Precise center of gravity determination for complex loads — essential for balanced, stable lifts of machinery with asymmetric weight distribution.
TND
Tandem Lifts
Coordination plans for lifts requiring two or more cranes working in tandem — load sharing calculations, communication protocols, and synchronized operations.
LOG
Logistics Planning
Full logistics coordination — crane positioning, rigging staging, crew assignments, communication plans, and contingency procedures for every lift.
Our Process
From Assessment to Execution

A Collaborative Approach

Every custom lift plan starts with a thorough assessment of your project requirements. Our team works directly with your engineers, project managers, and site supervisors to understand all constraints — physical, logistical, and regulatory.

The result is a lift plan that your entire team understands and is prepared to execute — with no surprises on lift day.

  • Pre-lift site survey and condition assessment
  • Load data verification and documentation
  • Crane and rigging selection and configuration
  • Written lift plan with drawings and calculations
  • Pre-lift crew briefing and walkthrough
  • On-site supervision during execution

When You Need a Custom Plan

Not every lift requires a full engineering study — but some absolutely do. If any of the following apply to your lift, a custom plan is essential.

  • Load exceeds 75% of crane's rated capacity
  • Multiple cranes required for the lift
  • Lift over occupied or sensitive areas
  • Unstable or uncertain ground conditions
  • Asymmetric or oddly-shaped loads
  • Lifts with restricted swing radius
  • Critical or irreplaceable equipment
  • Regulatory or contractual requirements
