How to calculate the strength of lifting lugs for steel frames
Thread Content
Sea friends, I need help. I need to build a steel frame for a container used to move lifting equipment; the weight of the equipment (including the medium) is 60 tons. I plan to use four lifting lugs. How should I calculate the strength of these lugs? What calculation methods or standards should be used? Thank you
It is recommended to use the image above. The fundamentals remain the same; it is recommended to take some time to study mechanics of materials – it mainly involves calculations related to bending stresses such as bending moments and combined inertial moments. It’s also necessary to consider a safety factor for dynamic loads, after all, it is used for lifting purposes
