Lift Designer Level 2

Limited Seats Remaining | April 2026 →

Bridge the gap between theory, compliance and execution.

 

Most supervisors, engineers, and HSEs are handed lift plans, but never taught how to truly review or execute them.

Level 2 closes that gap. You’ll learn the logic behind crane operations, how to break down lift studies, and the steps to lead safe, compliant lifts with confidence.

It’s detailed, practical, and designed for those who need to take responsibility for lifting on site. This is where you become the crane specialist.

Meet Liam Edwards

Heavy Lift Engineer & Founder of Crane Class

Experience delivering industry-defining lifts across infrastructure and wind.

From LTM 1750's and CC 8800's in Melbourne, to LR 11350s in Taiwan and BMS’s 3000t Ring Crane in Denmark, I’ve planned and executed lifts with some of the world’s largest cranes.

Industry honours:
  • 2024 CICA Lift of the Year
  • Bill Shaw Memorial Trophy for Excellence
Why I started Crane Class:
  • On tier-one projects I kept seeing the same gap — limited crane knowledge slowing down good teams.
  • I’m genuinely passionate about sharing practical, hands-on knowledge so engineers, supervisors and HSE can lift safer, smoother and with confidence.
