Real operating footage of a large component being lifted with slings and positioned in a workshop under controlled handling.
This footage demonstrates why lifting equipment cannot be selected from nominal capacity alone. With large components, centre of gravity, lifting-point geometry, sling angles, tendency to rotate, surrounding obstacles and operator visibility all matter. For a similar application, load weight, crane capacity, lifting points and operating sequence are defined from the project data and site conditions.
The geometric centre and actual centre of gravity may differ. Incorrect lifting-point placement can cause tilting, rotation or uneven force distribution between sling legs as the load leaves the ground.
As sling legs move away from vertical, tension in each leg can increase. Sling type, working angle, lifting points and accessory WLL values are selected from the lifting plan and project data.
The objective is not merely to raise the load, but to move it to the target with controlled swing. Lifting speed, bridge/trolley travel, operator visibility, tag lines where appropriate and exclusion zones should be planned together.
The video records a real lifting operation and helps illustrate load movement, rigging geometry and the working area. Load values, test steps and acceptance criteria are defined separately within the project and commissioning documentation.
Provide component weight, overall dimensions, centre-of-gravity information, lifting lugs, travel path, lift height, site photographs and operating frequency to select the appropriate crane and rigging arrangement.
