Allmi Smart Phone App

Further to an extensive planning exercise in the first half of this year, development work has recently commenced on the ALLMI smartphone App. Initially being designed for iPhone and Android operating systems, the App will contain a range of features for all industry stakeholders.

ALLMI CEO, Tom Wakefield, comments “The App will include an array of information, from details of various ALLMI courses through to guidance documents and safety videos, as well as member and training provider search functions, and the latest industry news. In addition, it will contain an Operator Course Booking Facility, which will be a great tool for accredited instructors.”

ALLMI Technical Director, Alan Johnson, adds “The App will also feature a range of calculator tools, which will assist users in carrying out various industry roles. These include tools for calculating the vertical loads placed on stabilizer legs and also the pad sizes required for a particular lifting operation. In addition, there will be a tool for assisting with sling selection when handling cabins or containers, as well as one for determining the sail effect of wind on any given load. Tools will also be available which will help users to determine whether a lift falls into the hired and managed or contract lift category, and whether a site visit is required in advance of the operation.”
