Qualified Person Engineering support forPlanned Engineered Lifts perASME B30.2:

Lifts in excess of rated capacity are permitted per the

planned engineered liftprocedure inASME B30.2.

The crane supporting structure shall be reviewed by a

qualified person for any lift over the rated capacity.

For planned engineered lifts exceeding 125% of therated capacity, the components shall be reviewed by

means of calculations by a qualified person.
