Rigging operations: industrial equipment

But what does it mean to move the plant? This is often associated with the movement of bulky goods, and they can be almost the size of a small house. Therefore, the equipment is disassembled into parts that can somehow be moved by road or rail. Naturally, this will require the involvement of specialists - both representatives of the plant itself and specially trained installers and loaders.Sometimes it is necessary to consult a supplier of this type of equipment. After all, dismantling and then subsequent installation of factory equipment in a new location is usually considered rigging work of high complexity. The fact is that the industrial equipment of enterprises focused on the production of different products varies significantly. And these differences manifest themselves not only in dimensions and weight, but also in the design and technology of installation and disassembly. Therefore, a team of riggers, before starting work, usually draws up a separate project for their implementation.Riggers must strictly adhere to all the rules for rigging work developed in relation to a particular type of equipment. For example, if rigging of machine tools or special equipment is necessary, then it is strictly forbidden to secure them with slings for working parts. When the equipment does not have the necessary equipment, the sling is made for the bed, frame, housing or, in extreme cases, for protruding fixed parts.It is difficult to prepare printing equipment for transportation, as it, for all its enormous weight, is mounted in an unassembled form.Transportation of column-type equipment In many industries, column-type technological equipment is used. These can be evaporators or distillation columns, etc. There are special installation requirements for such cargo. After all, when rigging with this kind of equipment, it is important to observe its strictly vertical position while it is moving.How can this be achieved? Cranes capable of lifting loads weighing up to 30 tons are best suited for this situation. In the presence of such a lifting and transport machine, it is possible to carry out rigging work without first disassembling the column.Another subtlety is that such equipment, as a rule, does not have protruding parts, which means that it will not be possible to attach a column to anything. It turns out that false fittings will have to be made for the rigging of this type of equipment. Then they are fixed to the smooth body by welding. In order for the work on reloading and transportation to be performed correctly, the riggers need to fix the fittings above the center of gravity of the column, the only way to achieve the preservation of the vertical position of the load when lifting it with a crane.When the equipment is complex, and for some reason it is impossible or highly undesirable to disassemble it, it is easier to use not one, but several cranes, provided that their actions are coordinated. And for this, a well-functioning team of crane operators and movers is needed. Otherwise, the technology of rigging work will be the same exactly, that is, false fittings will be welded, which will hook with slings and overload the equipment onto the platform of a tractor or freight train. The column is also mounted vertically on the platform. At the same time, the carrier must take into account the route of the vehicle so that low tunnels, main pipeline crossings, aboveground pedestrian crossings, contact wires, etc. are not caught along the way.
