When upending a vessel or similar load, there are a number of options commonly available. A lift planner or rigging engineer must decide how best to lift the head of the load as well as the tail. The head can be lifted with cranes (various types), strand jacks, gantries (telescoping and fixed), climbing jack systems and so on. Similarly, tailing options include nearly all of the above, as well as trailers and skid mounted tilt-up frames. Any time multiple cranes (or load handling equipment) are used to lift a load, the planning and operation becomes more involved as the likelihood for human and equipment error is increased with additional people and equipment involved.
