1. A lift monitoring system comprising:
a processor;
a transceiver in electrical communication with the processor;
a display receiving display data from the processor;
a human-machine interface transmitting user control signals to the processor;
the processor executes instructions from a tangible computer-readable medium to:
receive, by the transceiver, stability data, loading data, positional data, and velocity data associated with at least one hoist lifting system for lifting a load;
calculate at least one adjustment required to increase or decrease a loading moment or a tipping moment of the at least one hoist lifting system;
determine at least one suggested command corresponding to the at least one adjustment for the at least one hoist lifting system;
transmit, by the transceiver, the at least one suggested command to the at least one hoist lifting system;
receive a margin of safety from the human-machine interface; and
retrieve environmental data from at least one survey database,
wherein the environmental data comprises at least one trench distance, at least one ground slope in lateral and longitudinal directions, at least one ground condition, a number of hoist lifting systems, and a type of each hoist lifting system.
