  2. Working load limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_breaking_strength

    This load represents a force that is much less than that required to make the lifting equipment fail or yield. The WLL is calculated by dividing MBL by a safety factor (SF). An example of this would be a chain that has a MBL of 2000 lbf (8.89 kN) would have a SWL or WLL of 400 lbf (1.78 kN) if a safety factor of 5 (5:1, 5 to 1, or 1/5) is used.

  3. Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_Operations_and...

    A safe working load (SWL) should, according to the regulations be marked onto lifting equipment with the relevant SWL being dependent on the configuration of the equipment, accessories for lifting such as eye bolts, lifting magnets and lifting beams should also be marked. [5] The load itself would be based on the maximum load that the equipment ...

  4. Manual handling of loads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_handling_of_loads

    Forceful exertions: Carrying or lifting heavy loads; Pressure points: The load applying pressure to select areas on the body only; Static postures: Staying in the same position for extended periods of time [2] Although musculoskeletal disorder can develop overtime, when manual handling of materials, they can also occur after only one activity.

  5. Lifting equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_equipment

    Lifting equipment, also known as lifting gear, is a general term for any equipment that can be used to lift and lower loads. [1] Types of lifting equipment include heavy machinery such as the patient lift , overhead cranes , forklifts , jacks , building cradles, and passenger lifts, and can also include smaller accessories such as chains ...

    S = (W x Ksl x Kd) / n = (64.8 x 1.16 x 1.2) / 2 = 45.1 kN load resistance required per anchor; Anchor capacity for site lift F/n = 23 kN per anchor during site lifting (n = 2 lifting anchors) Reference to the load capacity tables provided by the anchor manufacturer is required to make an anchor selection for the specific concrete strengths at ...

  7. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally. The critical load puts the column in a state of unstable equilibrium. A load beyond the critical load causes the column to fail by buckling. As the load is increased beyond the ...

  8. Design load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_load

    A crane's rated load is its Safe Working Load (SWL) and the design load (DL) is, (p 90) [1] = The dynamic lift factor for offshore cranes in the range 10 kN < SWL ≤ 2500 kN is not less than =.(p 84) [1] Thus for a crane with a SWL of 2000 kN (~200 tonne) its design load is not less than, = = The minimum breaking load (MBL) for the combined capacity of reeves of a steel wire hoisting rope ...

    Truck axle groups are used to calculate compliance with the formula. Any two axles must comply with the results of the formula, but axle groups 15, 13, and 25 are most critical. This truck is not in violation of the formula. [1] FMCSA regulation §658.17 states: [9]
