Kiri Robbie Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 What load factors are applicable to lifting equipment and lifting points? (dynamic factors, unequal load distribution factors, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Edwards Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Dynamic factors are covered in a number of standards. Land based lifting: AS 1418 AS 3850 etc. Marine lifting: Not covered in Australian Standards (except the Submerged Lands Act) Reference standards include DNV, Noble Denton etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Groom Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hi Kiri, If you look in some catalogues, e.g. Nobles - Lifting & Rigging Equipment, Technical Services & Engineering Design, some of the products state the load factors. Some products may have a factor of 4 or 5 to failure. I don't have a copy, but maybe you could find more details on the factors for wear and tear, unequal load in: Design and Construction of Lifting Beams | American Institute of Steel Construction (aisc.org) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
