Overview

CranePro

CranePro 3D is an advanced parametric modeling software designed for engineers, planners, and lifting specialists to create, visualize, and analyze crane operations in a 3D environment. The software allows users to efficiently generate detailed crane models, simulate lifting scenarios, and optimize lift planning while ensuring safety and operational efficiency.
Built to enhance the precision and accuracy of crane-related projects, CranePro 3D integrates industry-standard lifting parameters, including crane charts, boom configurations, and load limits. This ensures that users can assess crane capabilities, avoid overloading, and improve decision-making during planning and execution phases.
Important Note: While CranePro 3D provides valuable tools for lift planning, the final responsibility lies with the user. Engineers and operators must always verify lifting configurations against the official crane load charts and site conditions to ensure compliance with safety standards and manufacturer specifications. The software is intended to assist in decision-making but does not replace the need for professional judgment and thorough review.
Whether for construction, heavy lifting, or industrial applications, CranePro 3D provides a reliable and user-friendly platform that streamlines crane selection, placement, and lifting procedures in compliance with engineering best practices.

Terminology Clarification

This section would explain frequently misunderstood or interchangeable terms used in the context of Crane and sheet metal design

A Lifting Chart (or Load Chart) is a document provided by the crane manufacturer that defines the crane's lifting capacity under different configurations. It includes essential data such as maximum load limits, boom lengths, lifting angles, counterweight requirements, and operational restrictions. The lifting chart helps operators determine the safe working limits of the crane and ensures that lifting operations comply with safety standards.
The Boom Lifting Angle refers to the angle between the crane’s boom and the horizontal ground level. This angle directly affects the lifting capacity and reach of the crane. A higher boom angle generally increases vertical lifting capability but reduces horizontal reach. The boom lifting angle is a crucial parameter in lift planning to ensure proper positioning and safe operation.
The Boom Lifting Radius is the horizontal distance measured from the center of rotation of the crane (slewing center) to the center of the load being lifted. It is a key factor in determining the crane’s lifting capacity since the load-bearing capacity decreases as the radius increases. The boom radius is influenced by the boom length, angle, and extension of any additional jibs.
The Center of Gravity (CG) is the point at which the entire weight of an object is considered to be concentrated. For cranes, understanding the CG of both the crane itself and the load being lifted is critical for maintaining balance and stability. Improper weight distribution can lead to tipping or structural failure. In lifting operations, the CG helps determine the proper rigging configuration and ensures that the load remains stable throughout the lift.
