What This Spreadsheet Does

Analyses the rotational erection of tall vertical pressure vessels — the typical lift configuration where a main crane holds the upper trunnions/lugs and a tailing crane controls the bottom, rotating the vessel from shipped-horizontal to installed-vertical. Calculates crane loads at every rotation angle, plus vessel bending stress during the lift.

What’s Inside the Excel File

• Inputs — vessel weight, vessel length, CG location, top lug location, tailing lug location, dynamic factor, sling lengths
• Main crane load vs rotation angle (0° to 90°)
• Tailing crane load vs rotation angle
• Critical angles — maximum main crane load and tailing release point
• Vessel bending moment during lift — checks vessel itself doesn’t fail
• Lug load envelope for top and tailing lugs
• Crane selection support data

Who This Is For

• Lifting and rigging engineers
• Pressure vessel designers planning erection
• EPC construction teams on tall column installation
• Crane and heavy lift contractors

Codes & Standards Referenced

• ASME BTH-1 — Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices
• DNV / Noble Denton heavy lift methodology
• Standard vessel erection mechanics

Frequently Asked Questions

Two-crane only?
Standard rotational lift uses main + tailing crane. Single-crane vertical lift is a different methodology.

Replaces full lift study?
This sheet handles the engineering check. Final lift studies typically include site-specific obstructions, ground bearing, and method statements which the rigging contractor produces.
