A comprehensive tandem lift plan requires precise load distribution calculations showing how the load weight divides between both cranes, including center of gravity location and any load shifts during the lift. The plan must specify exact crane positioning with ground conditions, outrigger locations, boom angles, and minimum approach distances between machines.
