Any prefab lugs there
Any prefab lugs there
(OP)
lugs shall be good for 17000 lbs to be attached to concrete.
Do we need to fabricate lugs or there are pre-manufactured lugs out there we can buy them?
Thanks

A lot of the lifting points we use for in precast are good for 17,000 lbs with a 4:1 safety factor.

To lift or help to stabilize the lift of heavy turbin parts.
I don't know if there are any prefabricated ones with that load capacity that u can buy and not wait for fabrication?
What are couple of lug manufacturers that carry/sell lugs at this load rate?
Thanks

Lifting those kinds of parts and equipment, you would probably be better off designing and making you own lifting lugs to match the actual equip. I didn’t look, but the lugs that TME is mentioning are probably fairly generic and would probably need modification to fit your turbine parts. And, this may be as much work as making your own lugs to fit. If they are to “help to stabilize the lift of heavy turbin parts,” they may be as simple as a shackle pin through a bolt hole in the part.

If you're lifting steel then I'd suggest a hoist ring in a drilled and tapped hole.
