Defining Lifts Report (lift data from crane placements)
| Licensing: Crane Reports require a license. Without that license, commands found in the ' Model -- Crane ' group are not available in SDS2. |
Tool summary :
- Each section of this report provides lift information on the defining lifts from each placement that is listed for " Cranes (Placements) ." Critical lifts may be included on the report. Failed lifts are not included.
- A placement may have one or more defining lifts. The defining lift criteria is reported at the end of the " Lifts " section of the report.
- The Defining Lifts Report has different sections for different cranes. These sections, each of which has a separate header, are output to one file. Criteria used for distinguishing a crane include the " Crane Type " " Manufacturer " " Model " and " Crane Capacity ." This means, for example, if the crane type, manufacturer and model are the same for two different cranes, but the capacity of the cranes are different, a separate section of the Defining Lifts Report will be output for the cranes.
- For a crawler crane (not shown above), " Boom " and " Boom Length " are reported instead of " Jib length " and " Reeving Mode ." Other additional information related to a crawler crane's configuration may also be reported.
- See the step-by-step instructions . (

How to output a Defining Lifts Report :
You need to have assigned lifts to a crane placement before you can output this report. To assign lifts, you can Assign Member Lifts or use tools such as Check/Assign Load Lift or Check/Assign Multi Lift .
1 . Use any one (1) of the following methods to begin printing this report.
Method 1 : Home > Reports > System Reports > Cranes > Defining Lifts Report .
Method 2 : If " Modeling layout style " or " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Reports > Crane Reports > Defining Lifts Report .
Method 3 : Click the Defining Lifts Report icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Reports ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning). Ribbon configuration is done using Customize Interface .
2 (if applicable) : If your current Job has members in it which have not been assigned as lifts to a crane placement , you will get a yes-no warning message like the following:
|
Alternative 1 : Press the " Yes " button to output a report based on those lifts which have been assigned to crane placements. Go step 2.
Alternative 2 : Press " No " to cancel this operation. Do not continue.
3 . The Defining Lifts Report window opens.
|
The entries you make on this window to " Company " " Project Name " " Project # " " Location " and " Contractor " will be printed in the header of the Defining Lifts Report . Leaving " Company " and " Contractor " blank omits those fields from the report. |
Alternative 1 : Select the export format that you want, then press the " Export " button. You can select ' text (.txt) ' or ' CSV (.csv) ' or ' PDF (.pdf) ' as the export format. A text file can be read by word processors and text editors. A CSV file can be read by spread sheet programs. CSV stands for "comma-separated values." A PDF file can be read by a web browser. PDF stands for "portable document format." Go to step 4.
Alternative 2 : Press the " View " button to output the report to the report viewer ( Output-Request Summary ). You can view the report on your computer screen, then optionally save it to a file. Go to step 4.
Alternative 3 : Press the " Close " button to close this window without outputting a report. Do not continue.
4 . After the Defining Lifts Report is output to the destination you selected in the previous step, a new Defining Lifts Report window opens. Follow the instructions for alternative 1 or 2 in step 3 to output another copy of this report to, for example, a different file type or different destination. Press the " Close " button when you are done outputting the report.
Note: See the defining lift criteria at the end of a particular " Lifts " section of the report to determine why that lift was considered to be a defining lift and therefore included in the report.

Defining Lifts Report
Date: The current date when this report was output. The date is filled in automatically.
Project: The " Project Name " that you entered in step 3 .
Project #: The " Project # " that you entered in step 3 .
Location: The " Location " that you entered in step 3 .
Contractor: The " Contractor " that you entered in step 3 .
Settings for a tower crane are on its Tower Crane window and on the Tower Crane Specification window for its particular manufacturer and model.
Settings for a crawler crane are on its Crawler Crane window and on the Crawler Crane Specification window for its particular manufacturer and model.
Manufacturer: This manufacturer of the crane whose specification you selected when you did the Add Tower Crane or Add Crawler Crane operation to add this crane.
Model: This manufacturer of the crane whose specification you selected when you did the Add Tower Crane or Add Crawler Crane operation to add this crane.
Crane capacity: The maximum capacity of the crane at the radius where the crane's capacity is the largest (e.g., at the minimum radius).
Jib length: The " Jib length " of a tower crane.
Reeving mode: The " Reeving mode " of a tower crane.
Boom: The " Boom " of a crawler crane.
Boom length: The " Boom length " of a crawler crane.
Cranes (Placements): All of the placements whose lifts were analyzed in order to determine the defining lifts that are listed in this section of the Defining Lifts Report .
Lifts
Line: The line used for the lift. See " Line " in Lift Information .
Load: The weight of the load. See " Load weight " in Lift Information .
% Capacity: The percentage of the crane's capacity that is the weight of the load. See " % Capacity " in Lift Information .
Placement: The crane placement that this lift is associated with.
Location: The X, Y, Z global coordinate of the pick point and set point are reported. See " Location " in Lift Information .
Radius: The horizontal distance from the center of rotation of the crane to the load hook while the crane is loaded and the load hook is in vertical alignment with the pick point or set point. This is reported for both the pick point and the set point of the lift. See " Radius " in Lift Information .
Sheave height: The sheave height is reported for both the pick point and the set point of the lift. See " Sheave height " in Lift Information .
For a member lift of one member, the first comment is the identity of the member (its member piecemark and member number ). See " Description " in Lift Information .
If the " Calc at radius " is for the pick point, the report will generate a comment that says, " Governed by pick point ."
Defining lift criteria: Descriptors such as " Maximum radius " and/or " Maximum % capacity " and/or " Maximum load " identify the reason that this is a defining lift. For example, a lift may be identified as having the " Maximum load " of all non-failed lifts associated with the crane placements listed next to " Cranes (Placements) ."
Calc at radius: The adjusted capacity calculation at the set point or the pick point. See " Adjusted capacity calculation " in Lift Information .
Note: If the calculation reported here is for the pick point, then the report will say " Governed by pick point ." You will find this statement in the comments above the " Defining lift criteria ."
