Crane and lifting-equipment configurator software
Configurix connects load data, rated capacity, span, lift height, runway and coverage, duty classification, crane families, girders, hoists, trolleys, drives, electrification, controls, accessories, account pricing, quotations, drawings, schedules and reviewed project data in one guided workflow for crane manufacturers, dealers and application engineers.
Connected lifting project
One project connects application, crane, hoist, controls, price, drawing, BOM and review.
Crane configuration software defined
A connected crane configurator begins with the actual application and the manufacturer data required for responsible selection. Load identity, weight, dimensions, center of gravity, lifting interface, required capacity, span, lift height, runway or coverage, hook approaches, operating cycles, load spectrum, speeds, environment, electrical supply and source status remain attached to one governed project.
Crane series, girders, hoists, trolleys, end carriages, wheels, drives, motors, brakes, variable-frequency drives, electrification, controls, pendants, radios, sensors, access, guards, attachments, spares and services use revisioned catalogue data. Changing capacity, span, lift or duty updates the same candidate set, warnings, option package and price.
The same governed model can power a public product selector, dealer portal, consultant or contractor journey, internal sales workspace and application-engineering process. Each channel receives the correct product ranges, territories, account prices, documents and actions while one application identity and revision history continue across teams.
A product recommendation is not approved crane design, runway or building verification, foundation design, electrical design, functional-safety validation, risk assessment, lifting plan, installation approval, proof test, statutory inspection, operator authorization or performance guarantee. Configurix preserves source data, assumptions and review evidence while qualified parties remain responsible for the actual lifting system.
Lifting workflow planner
The result shows which application, equipment, commercial, interface and review data should remain connected. It is a planning aid, not an approved crane design.
Recommended governed workflow
Connect permitted crane series, girders, hoists, trolleys, end carriages, drives, electrification, controls, radio or pendant stations, monitoring, access, installation, testing, spares and service in one commercial revision. A changed capacity, span or lift updates the same governed configuration, account price and quotation.
Connected record
Account · application · crane · capacity · span · lift · hoist · trolley · drives · controls · services · price · quote
Every quoted line reconciles to the selected equipment, option and catalogue revision.
Commercial compatibility remains distinct from structural, mechanical, electrical and safety approval.
Accepted quotations retain the equipment, services, price, exclusions and approval status agreed.
Final crane, runway, building, mechanical, electrical, control, safety, inspection, testing, lifting-operation and site decisions remain subject to qualified approval.
The implementation follows actual crane ranges, component rules, commercial models and receiving systems—not a generic capacity form placed above a product gallery.
Capture enough lifting context to create a defensible crane shortlist.
Connect crane coverage to the real building and handling area.
Build the complete saleable equipment package around the application.
Keep complex motions connected while approval remains explicit.
Continue the selected crane into the correct commercial model.
Preserve accepted identity while engineering review remains explicit.
One connected process
The customer, dealer, consultant, contractor, application engineer, manufacturer and site team can continue the same project while each role owns the decisions it is qualified to make.
Define the application
Capture source status, classification inputs, building constraints, operating cases and open questions.
Select and configure
Choose manufacturer products while geometry, duty, component, control and interface data stay connected.
Create the quotation
Apply the correct account, freight, erection, test, commissioning, training, terms and revisioned offer.
Review and release
Record structural, mechanical, electrical, control, safety, inspection and site decisions before data moves downstream.
Use this comparison to separate an early enquiry calculator from software that governs lifting applications, crane packages, account prices, quotations, drawings and reviewed handoff.
| Decision | Generic form or catalogue | Connected Configurix workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Application state | Capacity, span and email | Stable loads, geometry, cycles, environment, source, owner and revision |
| Duty classification | One dropdown | Cycles, load spectrum, displacement, service context, system and review basis |
| Product identity | Suggested crane type | Manufacturer crane, bridge, hoist, trolley, drives, controls and catalogue revision |
| Building interface | Span entered | Runway, rail, reactions, approaches, clearances, conductor and interface status |
| Special handling | Notes field | Multiple hooks, tandem logic, attachments, zones, sequences and review owners |
| Engineering scope | Disclaimer below the result | Structural, mechanical, electrical, safety, inspection and site questions retain status |
| Pricing | Request price | Traceable components, controls, services, installation, testing and account rules |
| Quotation | Specifications copied manually | Every line reconciles to application, equipment, option, price and exclusion |
| Order output | Model code entered into ERP | Verified identities, schedules, drawings, CAD, BOM data and system mapping |
