Never bend the eyebolts and the brackets. Only load the eyebolts and the brackets under tension. Remember that the capacity of an eyebolt is less as the angle between the supporting members and the object becomes less than 90 degrees. When it is necessary to remove a component at an angle, only use a link bracket that is properly rated for the weight. |
Use a hoist to remove heavy components. Use an adjustable lifting beam to lift the product. All supporting members (chains and cables) should be parallel to each other. The chains and cables should be perpendicular to the top of the object that is being lifted.
Some removals require lifting the fixtures in order to obtain proper balance and safety.
Lifting eyes are designed and installed for the specific arrangement. Alterations to the lifting eyes make the lifting eyes and the lifting fixtures obsolete. If alterations are made, ensure that proper lifting devices are provided. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for information regarding fixtures for proper lifting.
Lifting the Transmission
For lifting objects, use properly rated cables and properly rated slings. Position the crane for a level lift of the transmission. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for information regarding fixtures for proper lifting of your transmission.
