ENGINEERING SIGN-OFF FOR CRITICAL AND NON-ROUTINE CRANE LIFTS
What you get
- A fillable PDF - every checkbox, weight, capacity, and dimension field is a real form field, typed or handwritten
- Six sections covering the full plan: what makes the lift critical, the lift area, the equipment, the load, the rigging, and site conditions
- Fields for load chart percentage, lifting radius, crane capacity at that radius, and rigging capacity, so the numbers that actually govern the lift are on the page, not in someone's head
- A rigging details block and a six-line comments section for anything the checklist fields don't cover
- Supervisor sign-off with name, signature, and date
- Your company logo added to the form, at no extra charge
How to fill it out and keep it. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or a desktop browser like Chrome or Edge, then use that program's own Save or Download button, not just closing the tab, so your entries are kept in the saved copy. On a phone, most PDF apps will let you view the form but not type into it - fill it out on a computer, or print it and use a pen.

Why crews use it
- The 'basis for critical designator' section forces the load-chart percentage, power-line clearance, and rigging questions to be answered before the lift is planned, not while the load is already in the air
- Crane capacity and rigging capacity sit next to the load's own weight and dimensions, so a mismatch is visible on the page instead of caught mid-lift
- One printed plan a supervisor signs is what a client or a certifying auditor asks for after a critical lift, not a set of verbal confirmations
- Fill it in the office while the engineered lift plan is still being finalised, or on a tablet at the crane pad - the fields work either way
Built for
- Crane operators and lift supervisors planning lifts that exceed routine capacity or proximity limits
- Riggers and site safety coordinators documenting engineered lift requirements before a critical lift proceeds
- Construction, oil and gas, and industrial companies with formal lift-plan requirements under provincial OHS crane and hoisting regulations
Why it matters
A critical lift is critical because something about it - the load, the radius, the proximity to power lines or occupied structures - takes it past what a routine lift plan covers. Writing the numbers down before the pick, not describing them afterward, is the difference between a documented decision and a story about what everyone remembers agreeing to.

Common questions
Before you buy
What people ask us about the Critical Lift Plan Checklist Form.
What is the Critical Lift Plan Checklist Form used for?
A planning document for critical lifts - loads over 75% of load chart capacity, tandem lifts, lifts near overhead power lines, or anything requiring an engineered lift plan - delivered as a real fillable PDF you complete before the crane ever swings. Who uses it: Crane operators and lift supervisors planning lifts that exceed routine capacity or proximity limits; Riggers and site safety coordinators documenting engineered lift requirements before a critical lift proceeds; Construction, oil and gas, and industrial companies with formal lift-plan requirements under provincial OHS crane and hoisting regulations.
Can we fill it in on a computer, or is it print-only?
Both. It is a fillable PDF, so every field can be typed into on a laptop or tablet and saved, or you can print it blank and fill it in by hand. Your company logo is added at no extra charge.
Does using this form make us compliant?
No single form makes a company compliant. A form is the evidence half of a safety program - it records that something was checked and by whom. It carries weight at audit time when the written program behind it says the check is required and how often. If that program does not exist yet, that is the part we write.
When do I get it?
Immediately after checkout as a download, and you can re-download it any time from your purchases page. Print or fill in as many copies as your own crews need.
From the team that wrote it
These forms come from a bigger program.
Inspection and competency forms are the evidence half of a safety program. If the program they belong to does not exist yet, or has not been updated in a few years, that is the part we write.
