lifting equipment location

A

so low risk of hitting person or other structure / eqpmt
weight distribution on ground
ground surveys
power lines
no suspended loads over people / occupied buildings

load - weight, shape, centre of gravity, lift points, construction
eqpmt & accessories
proposed route of load
team required & competency
SSW & RA
environ - ground, weather
trial lift
derigging

Q

synthetic fibre slings

A

strong
durable
some resist chemicals
suspect to abrasion damage, sunlight damage

36
Q

eyebolts

A

dynamo = straight lift only
collar - straight & angle
collar & ring = angle only

37
Q

plate clamp

A

used for sheets of metal

not suitable for heavy loads

38

case or drum sling

A

loads under 1 tonne
keep as close as poss to 60 degrees
check drum rim condition

39
Q

shackles

A

fix sling to load or eyebolt or to join slings

40
Q

lifting hooks

A

safety catch or ‘moused’ with wire, rope, strap
