Lifting Operation’ refers to the operation of lifting or lowering a load using lifting equipment;
‘Lifting Equipment’ refers to any device used for lifting or lowering a load and typically includes
mobile cranes, tower cranes, gantry cranes, crawler cranes, hoists and elevating work platforms;
‘Load’ refers to any load being lifted or lowered by lifting equipment and typically includes materials,
waste materials, plant, equipment and persons;
‘Common Lift’ refers to any routine or regular lifting operation that is carried out where the lifting
equipment, lifting accessory and the load are the same in each case.  An example of a common lift is
the unloading of steel reinforcement from a delivery lorry at the same radius, using the same crane and
lifting accessory;
‘Special Lift’ refers to any lifting operation which is carried out infrequently or as a ‘one-off’ on the
site and there is change in either the lifting equipment used or the lifting accessory. An example of a
special lift is the lifting of air conditioning plant onto the roof of a building which will only be carried
out once and will require a detailed lifting assessment;
‘Lifting Accessory’ refers to any accessory connected to lifting equipment used in connection with
lifting or lowering a load, it includes chains, slings, shackles, wire ropes and any accessory that may be
used to carry a load such as a concrete skip or man riding basket;
‘Signaller/Slinger’ refers to any employee connecting a load to lifting equipment or any employee
providing directions to the operator of any lifting equipment. Can also be known as ‘Rigger’;
‘Appointed Person’ refers to a trained and competent person appointed by the employer using lifting
equipment to undertake the duties detailed in Section 3.1.4 of CoP.

5. Load Analysis:
Weight of Chiller (max.) = 44 TON

Weight of Lifting Accessories = 4 TON

Total Load = 48 TON

CRANE CONFIGURATION:

Main Lifting Equipment: Hydraulic Gantry

Hydraulic Gantry Capacities 200 T Total (4-point) in first stage;

100 T Total (4 point) in second stage

Gantry Safety Factor = 75%

Stage of lift = Second Stage

Working Radius = Not Applicable.

Gantry Capacity = 100 TONS

Safety Calculations:

% of Safety Factor = (CRANE CAPACITY – TOTAL LOAD) X 100

CRANE CAPACITY

= (100 – 48) X 100

100

% of Safety Factor = 52 %

Gantry Utilisation = 100 – Safety Factor

= 100 – 52

Gantry Utilisation = 48%

Maximum Ground Pressures

Total Load 48 + (4 x 1) = 52 T

Max load on each leg 52 / 4 = 13 T

Dimension of leg 1,200 mm x 800 mm = 0.96 sqm

Total pressure per square meter 13/0.96 = 13.54 T/sqm

6. JOB SEQUENCE

6.1 Lifting and Installation of Chillers using Hydraulic Gantry.

7. WORK PROCEDURE

7.4 The gantry will be positioned as per the lifting plan and under the instruction of the site
Engineer and the main contractor Lifting Supervisor/s.
7.5 On the day that the lift will take place there will be a tool box talk that will review the
following items:

a) Procedure, requirements and details specified in the work plans and drawings.
Review of safety items such as weather concerns, plant activity; escape routes,
locations of fire- fighting and personal safety equipment etc.
b) Note: Weather forecasts will be obtained prior to the lift. If the forecasts, in-
conjunction with the actual wind speed readings taken manually on the wind
speed Indicators do not give a sufficient window of suitable weather then the
test / lift Program will be reassessed.
c) Designate key personnel, such as signalmen, etc.
d) Complete and sign off all appropriate checklist and Lifting permit.
e) Obtain permit to work prior to start of work.
f) Check the placement of all banners and barricades that define the safety
boundaries of the work areas.
g) Discuss and give due consideration to any additional appropriate.

7.6 Under the instruction of supervisor, the hydraulic gantry will then hoist up until it takes
approximately 10% of the lift weight. The supervisor will check the alignment of the wire
rope slings and give instruction to correct and relocate the lifting tackles/shackles if
necessary.
7.7 The gantry will hoist in 10% increments, under the instruction of supervisor.
7.8 The gantry will slowly raise the Chillers until it is clear of the truck / ground, once clear the
obstructions support saddles, wooden blocks etc.
7.9 The Chillers will be lifted up to a required height as per approved by Lifting Supervisor.
7.10 As per the lifting plan, the load will be lifted and when clearance had been achieved, the
truck will be removed and the load placed on the ground
On completion the lifting tackles will be removed and lowered on to the ground.
Gantry will be shifted and similarly positioned for lifting the next Chillers.
7.14 On completion of the lift the gantry will be demobilized from the site.
