Contents 1. 2. 3. General Design Consideration for Lifting Point Pad Eye Design
Appendix A Example: Pad Eye Detail based on APEA, Guideline for Lifting Equipment. Appendix B Example: Shackle Crosby Bow and Dee Type
The design of the surrounding structure to which lifting points are affixed should allow transmission of the load from the lifting point to the surrounding structure. Adequate clearances should be provided between the pad eye and the rigging. Lifting points should be free from any detrimental defects caused by oxy-cutting, arc welding, etc. All Lifting Point design must be approved by MSI before beginning of construction. All calculation, dimension, material specification and welding requirement must be clearly presented in the drawing. All Approved Lifting Point should be subject to inspection and NDT by competent person. The NDT report should be submitted to MSI for filing. Load test will only be done on case to case basic. Eye Bolt is not to be used for lifting point.
3 X R x g.
The load should be considered as evenly distributed between (n-1) pad eyes where n is the actual number of padeyes. On units with a single point suspension (e.g. bottlerracks), the load of 3XRXg is of course taken by this single padeye. For resulting sling force on the pad eyes, the sling angle must be taken into account, so that the resulting sling load (RSL) on each padeye will be:
