EWP Lift Plan Generator
Setting up and operating an elevated work platform safely takes more than turning up with the right machine — where you position it, the ground under the outriggers, the exclusion zone below, how the operator and ground crew talk to each other and the weather limits off the plate all have to be thought through first. This free generator helps councils, government fleets, EWP and MEWP owners, crane and access businesses, Level 2 ASP electrical contractors, arborists and trades draft an elevated work platform task plan from their own answers, so the setup is planned rather than improvised.
This is a work-at-height task plan for positioning and operating an EWP — it is not an engineered crane lift study, which is a separate discipline handled by qualified lift planners and engineers for crane rigging and load calculations. The output here is a plain, editable starting template you finish, review and sign on site; it is not a reviewed or approved document. Everything is built from your inputs, with no invented figures, and stays in your browser. Copy it, download it or print it, then complete it against the machine's manual and the real conditions. Call 0416 689 689 for a hand.
Plan The Setup
Read the wind and weather limits from your own machine's data plate — this tool doesn't assume them.

How This Works & Assumptions
How it works
Enter the task, where the machine will be set up, the family of machine, the working height you need to reach and your notes on ground conditions, the exclusion zone, how the crew will communicate, the weather limits off the plate and your emergency contacts. As you type, a structured task plan assembles on the right, ready to copy, download as a text file or print. Blank fields show bracketed reminders so the plan flags what still needs completing on site.
Scope is EWP positioning and operation. This plan is about setting the machine up and working from the platform safely — ground, exclusion zone, communication, weather and rescue. It deliberately doesn't calculate loads, ground bearing pressures or rigging, and it doesn't quote wind figures or distances we can't know for your machine and site. Read those from your own plate and manual.
Questions
Is this the same as a crane lift study? No. An engineered crane lift study — with load charts, rigging design and ground bearing calculations — is a separate discipline carried out by qualified lift planners and engineers. This tool plans how an elevated work platform is positioned and operated for work at height, which is a different task.
Is the output ready to use as-is? No. It is a starting template. Complete every bracketed field against the machine's operator manual and the real site conditions, then have the crew review and sign it before work begins. It is not a reviewed or approved plan on its own.
This is a planning aid, not a guarantee of safety or compliance. The completed, signed plan, the machine's manual and the competent-person judgement of the crew govern the work. Call 0416 689 689 if you'd like us to talk it through.
