Bad design: Padeyes Too large hole in padeye

 
padeyes are welded with fillet welds on the ouside of the frame n Padeye plate is not in the
correct angle n 2 shackles are joined together
 
Padeye attached later on an ISO-container: • padeye-construction gives lack in continuity
between toprail and corner post • ISO-containers are not suited for use offshore (for instance the
top beam is only a thin L-beam

PADEYE GEOMETRY

the geometry of the padeye must match the size of shackle to be used to ensure a rated connection between the equipment and the lifting set.

For straight lifting angles a symmetric padeye design should be used, for a multi-point lift as in a offshore container or frame then a nonsymmetric design
can be used. If required plated supports can be added to the symmetric design to increase the lateral stiffness of the padeye, useful when the padeye will
be subjected to dynamic load angles. For a multi-point lift it is essential that the padeyes point directly to the lift point centre to prevent lateral bending
moments on the padeyes, 

a pad eye consists of a main plate and occasional ring stiffeners. The main plate is conducted with a pair of cheek plates to stiffen the pinned connection
and to prevent the main plate from failing due to bearing stress. The ring stiffeners are attached to the main plate to take on the radial and lateral forces
and prevent excessive deformation of the CHS.
