I have a question regarding the lifting of vertical containers
Thread Content
There is a vertical container 7.5 meters tall with a diameter of 2000, supported by pedestal feet, and equipped with side wall plate-type lugs on the top. How do I get this container to stand upright when installing it? Side wall plate-type lugs can only withstand vertical loads
It’s designed to be able to withstand it, so feel free to lift it
When you find a crane operator, he will tell you how to lift it; it’s very simple
Rotate the housing so that the plate-wall lugs face to the left and right, then hang the lifting rope and lift it vertically upward. Plate-wall lugs can only be lifted parallel to the plate-wall plane.
Isn’t this considered bearing a non-vertical load?
Yes, so the issue you’re considering is correct. Generally, there should be a tubular lug at an angle of 180 degrees symmetrically near the top, allowing it to withstand forces from all 360 degrees. Then hang another rope at the bottom foot bolts, and another vehicle can be used to assist in guiding the tail end. Consult the equipment manufacturer and have them determine whether this lifting point is suitable for lifting.
This is also considered a vertical load; the lever arm in this direction is long, allowing it to withstand torque. All plate-wall containers should be erected in this manner.
If it’s in a straight line, it’s best to confirm. I’ve hung many, all of them are the type with a tube surrounding the cross-shaped reinforcement plate. But this is considered a small one; it depends on the weight. As long as it can hold up, that’s fine. It’s estimated that a tail fin isn’t necessary either
The one you mentioned is an axial lifting lug, and there’s no problem with it
Ugh, just add a hanging beam – that way the lifting lugs will only be subjected to vertical loads. It involves adding a lifting beam beneath the hook; steel wires at both ends of this beam are connected to the lifting lugs. This is a very common method for lifting.
