Turbo compressor lifted with Slingmax Twinpath Slings

Hanes Supply was contacted by a customer to assist in the assessment and supply of rigging equipment to move a turbo compressor unit weighing 356,000 pounds. Upon evaluation it was found that some obstacles existed. There were two large funnels coming out of the top of the unit and a row of bayonet fittings that would be in the way of traditional rigging. The unit was manufactured with lifting lugs in place but the funnels prevented using two overhead hooks to rig the load out from the center on each end.
