Calculate strain forces without using lifting charts, quick and easy! No need for manual searching in lifting charts and tables anymore! Always available in your pocket!
Lifting Charts Calculator supplements the manual lifting chart tables, giving the user the freedom to selects weight, lifting gear, lifting mode, lifting angle, lifting points and symmetry, and displaying the result as in the ordinary lifting tables.
Features:
• Metric version, weight in tons
• Includes AUTO calculation mode, which automatically calculates the result while the user changes either the weight or lifting configurations.
• The user can freely use the calculation button although AUTO is active (marked red with a *).
• Fast reset the calculator by pressing the recycle button.
• Choose between English or Norwegian language, by pressing the flag button (chosen language will be default at next startup).
• Supports these standards: Fiber rope EN 1492-1 and 2, Steel Rope EN 1341-1, Chain grade 80/100 EN 818-4
Caution! Always be aware of these warnings when working with lifting tools:
• Always check the lifting gear before and after use.
• Always follow the instructions on your lifting gear.
• Only use approved lifting equipment.
• The lifting equipment must be certified by an approved certification company at least every 12 months.
• Always find the appropriate sling method. This due to the fact that some methods can weaken the capacity of the lifting equipment.
• Construction diameter for lifting gear can sometimes vary.
• Do not fill up the hook too much. Use shackles beneath the hook instead.
• Always add your weight in tons.
• Insert the angle the lifting mechanism will be exposed to in while lifting.
• Determine if the lift is symmetrical or asymmetrical. (Symmetrical if the parts are within 15 degrees’ variation (5 degrees for offshore lifting)).
• Enter the number of lifting points to hook on, the weakest hooking method must always be used.
