Do I need a lift plan?
Yes, for any lift using a crane, HIAB or other lifting equipment. The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) require every lifting operation to be properly planned by a competent person, appropriately supervised and carried out safely. For crane lifts this is usually set out in a written lift plan following the British Standard for the safe use of cranes, BS 7121.

- Check floor condition and any suspended floors, ramps or drain covers on the route
- Book an electrician and engineers to isolate, drain and later reconnect the machine
- Back up any CNC programs, parameters and settings before power is removed
- Ask for a written method statement and, for any lift, a lift plan
- Confirm the mover's insurance cover limits against the value of the machine
