Precision lift planning, built for the field

APX Lift Planner is a purpose-built 3D lift planning tool developed by practising Appointed Persons. It brings together site geometry, crane reach data and load calculations into a single, intuitive workspace — so you can produce compliant lift plans faster and with greater confidence.

Whether you're planning a complex tandem lift, assessing ground bearing pressures or producing documentation for a LOLER-compliant method statement, APX Lift Planner keeps everything in one place.

Everything you need for compliant lift planning

3D Visualisation

Model your lift environment in three dimensions — cranes, loads, exclusion zones and site obstructions — for a clear picture before you set foot on site.

Compliance-ready outputs

Generate lift plans, risk assessments and method statement appendices that meet BS 7121 and LOLER 1998 requirements straight from the software.

Load & reach calculations

Built-in crane capacity charts and load radius calculations help you verify duty cycles and confirm safe working loads at a glance.

Multi-crane & tandem lifts

Plan single, tandem and multi-crane operations with shared load distribution modelling and coordinated lift sequence tools.

Ground bearing assessment

Input ground conditions and outrigger loads to assess bearing pressures and specify crane mats or spreader beams with confidence.

Shareable & exportable

Export plans as PDF or DWG, share live links with clients and principal contractors, and keep a full audit trail of plan revisions.
