Lifting eyes
Lifting eyes are fitted to the gear unit to assist with its transportation during manufacture and
installation.
Carefully ensure that the angle of the vertical load at the gear units lifting eyes does not ex-
ceed 45°.
Attach slings to the lifting eyes in accordance with the specifications in the dimension draw-
ings.
Sling swivels
Threads for screwing in transport lugs are provided on the gear unit to assist with its trans-
portation during manufacture and installation.
The shear pulling must not exceed 45° when the lifting equipment is attached to sling swiv-
els.
Eye bolts
The use of sling swivels instead of eye bolts is generally recommended.
When using eye bolts, please note that their load-bearing capacity may be reduced if they
are alternately attached to different components that require moving.
It is not permitted to load eye bolts through lateral pulling contrary to the direction of the eye
plane.
The following figure shows the permissible shear and lateral pulling when using eye bolts:
