Large industrial machines are often too heavy or too large to move through standard doors, corridors or elevators. When equipment must be installed on an upper floor, crane-assisted lifting may provide a practical solution.

In the operation shown, a large piece of industrial machinery is being lifted from ground level toward an elevated building opening. A support platform and rigging system help keep the equipment stable while workers guide it into position.

Planning Before the Lifting Operation

Before lifting industrial machinery, the equipment’s total weight, dimensions, center of gravity and approved lifting points should be confirmed.

The lifting height, working radius, access route, building opening, ground conditions and available installation space must also be evaluated. A suitable lifting plan should be prepared by qualified personnel according to the actual site conditions.

Selecting Suitable Lifting and Rigging Equipment

Lifting slings, shackles, hooks, hoists and other rigging equipment should be selected according to the weight and structure of the machinery.

The working load limit of each lifting components must meet the requirements of the operation. Correct load distribution can help keep the machinery balanced and reduce unnecessary movement while it is being lifted.

All lifting operations should be carried out by trained personnel using inspected equipment.

Positioning the Machinery

After the machinery reaches the required height, it must be carefully aligned with the building opening.

A temporary support platform and suitable indoor handling equipment may be required to move the machine into its final position. Clear communication between the crane operator, ground personnel and workers inside the building is important throughout the operation.
