Cracking Kev
Hi Kevin. After 7 years of this video and we are finding new challenges. I mostly do bottom lifting of different size containers, from 10f to 32f all of these for the construction industry. I have a question, how would you calculate the D at the top of the container with a bottom lift, the D location is not immediately known, it is dependent on the angle between the bottom connection (where the chain bends at the top) and the diagonal 90 degree included angle on the top.
Thank you for your time, sir.
Looking to get more practice to become an ap i have blue card but always too busy on crane can you help
I think we devide And thin multiply what I've seen other videos,, what totally is exactly or this is your other solution
Can you please explain how are you coming up with these mode factors. Thanks bin advance
They’re derived from trigonometry and are publicised in relevant codes of practice (LEEA, etc.)
awesome calculation
thanks. Thank you
Well explained and informative.
Hello guys can I ask for some advice I’m going to train to be a slinger/signaller will all of the calculations in this video be relevant to the job role of slinger signaller or will this all be worked out by an appointed person on site
I know my wansfer is a bit later, but those calculations is mainly to Appointed Person, NOT to slinger.
How can I get the book?
You can order them from www.insphigher.co.uk/shop/
So you would recommend Doing Slinger, then lift supervisor and finally Appointed Person? Currently a slinger trying to progess in indrusty Thanks
It's not entirely necessary to do that...but it certainly leads to a more complete AP!
@InspHigher thanks for the reply! Just at the moment working with 360 telehandlers and smaller crawler cranes for a year now. My thought was got to learn how to walk before you run You got a website or Facebook page?
Great Teaching.Thank You
Thank you ..for this video good study
Kevin where is the download for the maths tutorial please ?
Dear Trainer, It is very useful to me ... Love from India.. Keep on your service Thank you
Good explanation sir. Thank you.
Do you still sell these pocket books?
very informative. many thanks
Thanks , great explination
What happened Mr. Kaven ? You haven't been posting videos for few years now. Did you open a new channel?
Just busy with my actual training. I’ll try to do better 😄
@@InspHigher yeah Mr Kaven pull your finger out 🤣🤣🤣👍
Thank you for your help
From someone who didn’t finish school and went into lifting… never really got taught about this stuff,literally hook it on and go. This is explained so simple!!! Massive shout out Kev, I reached out before and when I do my AP I 100% will be making the trek up to you!!!!!
Excellent.... Thanks 👍
Amazing job there. Every single point came out well with detailed explanation. From the initial part of the video, I want to point out that the red material attached (pad eye) increased from one to two. This also added to the total load weight. However, the illustration was clearly understood. Thanks
Thanks very much Isaac…I appreciate you watching and commenting. Good point; however, the lifting brackets were less than 1kg each - so, they’re fairly insignificant really.
If that is it. Cool👍
Incredibly good tutorial, wish you were my mats teacher 30years ago. Thank you SIR!
Well, I'm sure you would've been a damn fine student Robert - I was just finishing school around then too though, and knew even less than I do now 😄 Thanks for watching and for your kind comment!
Excellent explanation thank you sir,
Glad you enjoyed it - thank you!
Still love watching your videos
Hi, how about 30° Angle. Is it stil divide by 1.4?
No
So divide by?
Do you consider how the load is slung ,example choked? Please could you breath through ❤
The booklet is out of stock when i wanted to place an order this year.
I dont understand
Yes, I agree, I am Appointed Person, I recently obtained the ticket ALLMI, and let me tell you something. I got better informed by you in this video than the course I took with them. I have been a class 2 lorry driver and hiab operator for over 12 years. At my 56 years of age, at this stage it is very difficult for someone to impress me, but you made it very easy to understand. I have subscribed because I want to see how you start this process. Currently, I am building my template for elaborating lift plans.
So pleased to hear that - thank you!
@@InspHigher It is what it is, it is that simple.
Excellent video as always. I have many questions but I will focus on one at a time. Do I require a basic lifting plan for any lift? If so, does it need documented?
@@frankgault7845 "Do I require a basic lifting plan for any lift?" The question is ill formed, it should have been, do I need a liftplan for a basic lift? The answer is no. Ok, we need to know if you are talking as a crane operator or management. Generally, if it is a basic lift, then you follow your crane manufacturer's recommendations On a basic lift, the crane operator should be able to do the job without any paperwork, as long as he is happy with the crane, himself, the location and the instructions of the client. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply. I agree that the question was a bit misleading.
Great explanation thanks 🫡
Great video but what about using two x two legger chain as a four legged
Hi Dave… You multiply the two-legged angled WLL by 1.5, as only three legs are to be counted. e.g. if using 2 x two-loggers, each with 7.5t WLL at 90 degree included angle… 7.5 x 1.5 = 11.2t WLL
Hi there. great video. You seem very clued up and I really enjoyed this video, forget the haters who leave silly replies. Can i just ask, what about if you are working with a 4 leg chain set, and the tag has maximum info, rather than bare minimum like nowadays. And the tag states that if using 1 leg, vertical, like a drop chain with no choke, just attached to a lifting point of an accessory, that it has the equivalent of a single leg chain? It seems that no one wants to put there name to it. For instance a single leg of a 6.7t set of 4 chains can lift 3.15t. I have seen this stamped on numerous 4 leg chain tags in the past, but nowadays they just state the minimum info on the tags, and not what 1 leg vertical will do. Obviously all chains are made to the same spec, the only difference is the alloy grade which upgrades the capacity when going to grade 10 alloy for instance. In your time, have you honestly not seen a tag state ( on 10mm grade 8) that 1 leg vertical will do 3.15 with the other 3 hung up?? Im very interested to hear your reply. Best regards
Hey , it would be great to hear your feedback please?
Apologies for taking so long to reply…I don’t keep up with these comments too much really. Is that Richard? Yes, I have occasionally seen the single leg rating marked in accordance with what you describe - and have even marked them myself at times (with having done the relevant quals). However, codes of practice recommend using a portion of the overall WLL in accordance with the number of legs used. So, in absence of marking, when using a single leg of a 4-leg 6.7t set, it would be recommended to apply a maximum load of 1.68t
Thanks for this informative Video. I would like ask you a question? If you have a load 35 tons with 2 leg bridle and the height of lifting eyes are different how to calculation SWL. thanks
So if you have 4 vertical slings are you saying the mode factor would still be 2.1?
Hi Kev. Where is the online training portal please?
Hi Dave...it was in the pipeline at the time of that video, but it didn't work out. It's still a project for the future though. Thanks for watching!
Mr. Kelvin, well done for your videos, it is really helpful and full of information, am looking forward on enrolling for appointed person course soon and i was wondering where you are located or your training centre located. i live in Northamptonshire in East Midlands.
Hi Paul...I'm based up in Scotland, and most of my training is either direct to companies or carried out online. Liebherr is fairly local to you down there.
How do you get 1.5 under 90-120 angle
Because each sling leg is good for 0.5 x WLL at up to 60 degrees from vertical, and you calculate for three legs taking the weight of the load in a four-leg assembly. 3 x 0.5 = 1.5
Good work
Please How do I get a copy of the small booklet ?
Hi Sam...it's available to order from our website: www.insphigher.co.uk
This is a Tremendous tutorial, Appreciated!
Kevin is the best! it seems common sense and good interpretation are a good set of skills
Great video. Can you please give some info about trainings. When to offer Awareness level and when training for Competent person for thorough inspection. If you have equipment like single FLT lifting and load up to let’s say 3t you need to move does Awareness level covers that or not. Thanks
Hi Nikola...the training given simply has to be adequate to enable the people involved to carry out the required task safely. Lifting a load of 3t with an FLT could be as risky as a 50t load with a mobile crane - it all depends on what the load is, what you're doing with it and the environment in which you're lifting it.
Thank you
great explanation! thanks
