Our basic system CRANE MANAGER V3.0 data offers a simple-to-use but nevertheless a powerfull software package for a quick and reliable determination of outrigger loadings / ground pressures by using duty charts in addiction to selected crane combination, load case and boom position. Calculation and capacity check will be done in realtime.

All our data bases based on original charts, resp. geometrically information from the particular manufacturers.

All required crane data bases / models will be embedded explicit to your CRANE MANAGER V3.0 data Licence and can be extended at any time. You need a minimum of one crane model added to your CRANE MANAGER V3.0 data Licence to perform and to get capability check, resp. to calculate outrigger loadings / ground pressures.

If more crane models are available, you can compare selected cranes or compare your entire fleet to get the best crane for each case of job site.

All project files will be saved automatically during runtime and are ready to reload, modify, or additions at any time.

In interaction with a 3D-CAD system, such like AutoCAD® (Full release, Product line 2004 - 2010, no LT !) or with 3D-CAD System Bricscad® V9 & V10 PRO as a price alternative 3D-system compared to AutoCAD®, CRANE MANAGER V3.0 graphics provides a realistic and true to scale illustration of your Job site.

All 3D-crane models will be loaded directly from the control panel according your crane selection to the CAD front-end, by using a complex interface file. Such cranes can be moved within their degrees of freedom by using the control menu. All 3D-parts are conform to manufacturers original dimensions. At this time, 99 numbers of crane models can be loaded to one job site / project and t is the only available planning tool that does a permanent cross-check of the feasibility based on the duty charts while you do your 3D-workout.

New functions, such like a 3D-Mats generator or the option to erect, assemble / disassemble a 3D-crane out of whose duty charts represents a further important planning tool according to this new release.

Integrated 3D-Modules in CRANE MANAGER V3.0 graphics:

• MCC (Definition: Multi Crane Control)
• OBB (Definition: OBstacle Builder)
• RHL (Definition: Rigging Hook & Load)
• REC (Definition: Rope Equipment Creator)

This tool (MCC) allows you to erase a crane or freeze / thaw its layer structure from the CAD-drawing by one mouse-click. This is a most valuable function to get an enormous acceleration while you are working in layout / paper space to prepare your final drawings.

This 3D-tool (OBB) creates your most important 3D- obstructions / obstacles by a few mouse-clicks to place it, true to scale, to your drawing.

Furthermore, this tool provides a comprehensive library ready to use its pre-defined 3D-parts, such like buildings, trailers, a kit to create tower cranes, wind power plants and much more.

You can load up your self-made 3D-parts by one mouse-click to one of more than 700 user-windows and save them permanent. Those 3D-parts can now be used at any time to any further drawing.

With this 3D-tool (RHL), you can create very complex three-dimensional load cases. To start off with the 3D-Hook block via ropes, chains, shackles, eyebolts, trunnions, etc. up to a parts list, which can be printed out as a text-document, or inserted as a text-block to your CAD-drawing.

This tool provides you also a library with some pre-defined 3D-loads and a very comprehensive free user-windows to insert and save your self-made loads.

RHL is our most powerful 3D-tool and will certainly help you to do 99% of your load cases.

3D-tool (REC) is a very well tool if you need to have more or other lifting accessories as are available in RHL. Such parts like shakles, eyebolts, slings, etc. You can create such simplified 3D-accessories you are missing, by having a popular data specification sheet and by doing a few inputs. Those parts will be added automatically to the respective selection menus in RHL.
