About this template
A checklist to complete before a hired crane arrives. It sets out who controls the lift, who prepares the lift plan, who supplies the operator and dogger, who provides ground information and how power lines and stop-work are handled. It uses the Mobile Crane Code of Practice 2024’s own terms and says plainly that the code does not define a contract lift.
