LiftCalc 3.0

LiftCalc is an application that requires MS Excel

This is not your average spreadsheet!  It has been designed so that users that are not familiar with Excel and all of its features can easily use LiftCalc.  Unlike it's predecessor "LiftCalc 2.0" this version was completely without the use of macros or visual basic programming.  LiftCalc 3.0 has a rich graphical menu interface, and crisp graphics and illustrations to help the user visualize how the data corresponds to each component and rigging situation.  It performs many of the formulas that are in the Rigging Handbook plus much more.  And unlike lift planning software used with cranes, this application concentrates on below the hook rigging calculations.
