CraneCADedit
CraneCAD Lift Example.
In 1987, Irving Equipment developed its own lift planning software called CraneCAD.[21] This software was built on top of the AutoCAD platform by two Professional Engineers, Fred Dickinson and Jeff Dacey, and the project received partial funding from the National Research Council of Canada. Using CraneCAD, engineers are able to create three-dimensional models of their project site to accurately determine the type of crane and the precise lift configuration required for each lift.[22]
