Issues with equipment lifting lugs
Thread Content
Don’t the equipment lifting lugs belong to the equipment itself? Can it be cut off just like that?
Personally, I think it should be possible; the lifting lugs are only used for lifting purposes, and they can be cut off after the item has been lifted into place. As long as the equipment itself is not damaged, that’s fine.
Yes, if it is affected by insulation or other reasons. But when it is repaired and used again in the future, it must be welded properly by a certified welder. And if you insist, verify it. Under no circumstances should you attempt to weld and then lift it by yourself – it’s extremely dangerous.

Keep the lug shims; it is recommended not to cut them, as they can still be used during future equipment maintenance.
The lifting lugs are designed for lifting purposes; once the equipment is lifted into place, are they no longer needed? It’s better not to cut it off; if it’s needed during the next lifting operation, it can be welded back on. The strength of the weld joint cannot be guaranteed in that case. It’s a bit better if there are shims; for those without shims, is it welded directly to the equipment itself? It’s not appropriate to weld casually on pressure vessels. Unless you keep a distance from the main body when cutting.
It certainly doesn’t belong to the main equipment itself, but whether it needs to be removed can be discussed with the user, as it relates to issues such as corrosion prevention and insulation
