Lifting with muliple cranes is a very tricky operation.
All the calculations need to be woked out precisely
and loading on each crane has to be identified.
Lifting ith multiple cranes is potential hazards.
In India New Delhi, We noted a similr accident
as in Australia. It is unfortunate that people
in this industry sometime takes a casual
approach, which proves to be dangerous.
I personally spent about 35 yrs in desigining
and operated Heavy Lifts in Indian sub-continent.
Fortuntely things have gone OK so far. Because
the designer of such lifts is supposed to know
and visualise the operation before the lift.
Dear Mr.Khanna,
I completely agree with you. Lifting with one, two or more cranes requires careful planning and a detailed liftplan, in which the forces in each crane are calculated beforehand. During the lifting proces it is important to monitor these forces as well. In my Master Class (previously called Seminar) “Heavy Transport & Lifting” I do present methods of how multiple crane lifts can be carried out safely.
The next Master Class “Heavy Transport & Lifting” will be on the 15th +16th of October 2010 in Houston.
Executing a multiple crane lift requires skilled operators, monitoring equipment and last but not least an very experienced banksman, who instructs the crane operators what to do. This apparently was not the case in the unfortunate accidents in the Delhi Metro lifts.
Come an join in and you will learn all about how to control the forces acting on a load, during transport & Lifting.

Good afternoon Richard,
First of all I would like to thank you again and to congratulate you on the Seminar attended last week in Frankfurt; I’ve found it really interesting.
I’ve been also the lucky one that won the I-Pad and for sure I was happy about it!
By the way, I’ve just...
