Derivation of Lift Point Loads
For the condition of the CoG located below the lift points, see Section B.1.2, the load to the lift points,
allowing for the tilt requirements given in Section B.1.2 are as follows:
For Crane #1, total load to lift point 1
= [(b+z)*sinα + (d+x)*cosα] * (f+y) * W
[L*cosα + (b-a)*sinα] B
For Crane #1, total load to lift point 4
= [(b+z)*sinα + (d+x)*cosα] * (e+y) * W
[L*cosα + (b-a)*sinα] B
For Crane #2, total load to lift point 2
= [(a+z)*sinα + (c+x)*cosα] * (f+y) * W
[L*cosα - (b-a)*sinα] B
For Crane #2, total load to lift point 3
= [(a+z)*sinα + (c+x)*cosα] * (e+y) * W
[L*cosα - (b-a)*sinα] B
The above formulae apply to the condition where the CoG is below the lift points. As referenced in
Section B.1.3, if any part of the CoG is above the lowest lift point, the load derivation to the lift points
under each crane will need to be assessed using the principles of Section B.1.2.
In Section B.1.2, an example was given to demonstrate the derivation of the total load to lift points 1
and 4 with a derivation showing the total load to lift points 2 and 3. As an example to demonstrate the
derivation of lift points loads and using the same parameters for the elevation and weight properties
given in Section B.1.2 (with the cranes on the same vessel and Section 5.4.2 applies) and the following
plan details for the lifted structure (see Figure B-2):
