30,000 lbs Enginator Installed
A LGH customer was faced with the task of installing a 30,000 Waukesha APG-1000 Enginator. Some of the difficulties they had to overcome in order to install the Enginator were no crane access, a distressed old pump building and a complex generator mounting system. The installation team had to evaluate the structural integrity of the existing building and also had to design a rigging plan to mitigate any point loading of the old 6" elevated slab. In order to do so, LGH's customer rented two 10 ton Gantries, four 5 ton Hand Chain Hoists, two 3 ton Come-a-longs, four 6 ton Beam Trolleys and four 75 ton Machine Skates. Along with using 80 feet of interlocking 1" plated channel, the installation was safely and successfully completed.

Putting Safety First
|
 Calculating Sling Tension When calculating sling tension for your rigging needs, it is important to use the following formulas:
LOAD ON SLINGS (S1 + S2)
Tension 1 = Load x D2 x S1/(H(D1 + D2))
Tension 2 = Load x D1 x S2/(H(D1 + D2))

NOTE: Horizontal sling angles of less than 30 degrees are not recommended. Refer to ANSI B30.9 for complete information.
