Regarding the issue of equipment lifting
Thread Content
The pressure vessel is skid-mounted on a unit. The container has separately installed lifting lugs. Can the container lugs be used as the lugs for the entire set of equipment? Is there a clear stipulation?
No, the design of the equipment lifting lugs is based on the device to which they are directly connected, and does not include the surrounding devices connected to that device. If you use these lugs to lift the entire set of equipment, there is a risk of breakage due to insufficient load-bearing capacity of the lugs. There are relevant regulations regarding such lifting operations
No, changing the load affects safety.
The lifting lugs on the entire skid can be used.
Obviously not; when setting up calculations for lifting lugs, only the conditions of the container are taken into account
Considering the total weight, lifting lugs are provided on the chassis of the entire unit
Container lugs are generally only capable of withstanding the lifting load when the container is empty, whereas the entire skid-mounted station is quite heavy; therefore, the lugs of the skid-mounted station should be used for lifting it.
The lifting lugs on the container are only used to lift the container onto the skid; to lift the entire skid, the lugs on the skid itself must be used
The entire skid should have lifting lugs, right?
