SPREADER BAR DESIGN WITH LUGS TOP AND BOTTOM v.02

COMPANY: PROJECT:

Total load, includes the weight of vessel, trays, insulation, piping, rigging, etc. TIP: use
kips
10 kips as initial input value, see examples in Pre-Designed Lugs below
deg Angle of the left sling. Use the smallest sling angle if CG is off center
in Horizontal distance, bearing to bearing on a duplex crane hook
in Distance from the CG to the top left lug
in Distance from the CG to the top right lug
Distance from the centerline of the bar to the centerline of the top lugs. See "A" in Pre-

Designed Lugs
in Distance from the CG to the bottom left lug
in Distance from the CG to the bottom right lug
in Length of the spreader bar, overall
SHAPE:
SELECT: Pipe, Square Tubing, Beams(non-compact/compact with lengths < Lu)
Note: Lu for the beams in the lookup table is based on Fy = 36 ksi (See Lu in the
HELP file)
lbs/ft Weight per foot for structural member
in Radius of gyration, r (use ry for beams) See help file.
in^2 Cross-sectional area of metal, A
in^3 Section Modulus, Sx
in^4 Moment of inertia, Ix
ft Lu (This input value is required for beams only, enter 1.00 for pipe and tubes)
ksi Yield stress (Fy), Mild steel = 30 ksi, A36 steel = 36 ksi
Impact Factor, I.F., Recommend using a minimum of 1.8

OUTPUT:
Distance, CG to top left lug for zero moment due to angle of top sling. Reenter as
