Lifting KnowHow App
Steel wire rope and lifting equipment supplier Certex has just launched an innovative ‘Lifting KnowHow’ App designed to enable customers to implement safer lifting.
The App is available for use on iPhones and iPads and includes a range of essential practical features such as easy to use load tables for a variety of items; a protractor for measuring lift angles; brief instructions for the safe use of shackles and round slings, and a built-in GPS to automatically locate the nearest Certex office anywhere in Europe.
In addition, the App also contains the popular Sling Calculator system devised by lifting gear manufacturers Crosby Europe, which includes their latest sling tension calculator; centre of gravity calculator; and end weights, pallet, volume and weights calculators.
The App is the latest innovation under the company’s ‘Lifting KnowHow’ programme, a European initiative introduced by all Certex companies aimed at improving health and safety through the sharing of technical expertise and safe practice. The App will be available for download on other smart phones shortly.
