Crane Lift Over Parapet Calculator
The Crane Lift Over Parapet Calculator is a tool that helps operators calculate the requirements for safely lifting loads over parapets using a crane. If you are a operator and working in construction or other industries, you can use this calculator. This calculator can alert you to overloading, and show important parameters for safe operation.

How does this calculator work?
Here you will know how this calculator works and what it calculates:
- Dimensions: The calculator calculates the required boom length and angle based on the height and horizontal distance to the parapet. This ensures that the crane reaches the parapet without getting too close.
- Load Capcity: When you enter the load weight and then the calculator verifies whether the crane can handle the load based on its specifications.
- Safety: There is a safety check where it alerts you to ensure the crane is beyond its limits and at an unsafe angle.
The boom angle is calculated based on the parapet height and distance. And this calculator
provides you the accurate results.
The maximum weight a crane can lift over a parapet depends on crane type and boom length. You
will find the crane's load chart in the table for accuracy.
Small cranes are limited in reach and capacity; a taller
parapet may
require a larger crane with a longer boom.
You have to check the crane’s maximum load capacity. It must be higher than the load
weight. Also check the boom angle is correct for the parapet height and distance.
The basic concept is higher load weights require a larger crane with both greater
boom length and lifting capacity. However, it all depends on the parapet height.
