RIGGING INTERMEDIATE FORMULAS

Task1: Dual Lift

6- [Crane Capacity X 6 ÷ (W1 + W2 X 1.2)] = Distance of slinging point from first crane
(in m)

W1 = Weight at the Load

W2 = Weight of the Equalising Beam

1.2 = Safety Factor

6 = The distance between the two crane lifting points

Task 2: Capacity of Second Crane

Total Weight ÷ 6 X Answer to Task 1 = Total capacity of the second crane.

Task 3; Minimum Crane Movement

1 Hoist

2 Luff up

3 lower

Section Two

Task 4: Tilt-Slab Friction

2 X 2 Rigging Sling Length = 2 X D

Task 5

4 X 1 Rigging Sling Length = 3 X C + D

Task 6

2 X 4 Rigging Sling Length for 4 Slings

= 3 X D Sling Length for 2 slings = 4.5 X D or 4.5 X E

Whichever is the greater measurement of the two.
