Input Criteria

R = 9000 kg Rating
P = 1000 kg Payload
T = 17000 kg Tare (Mass of Empty Unit)
g = 9.81 m/s² Gravity
n = 4 No. Number of slings
v = 45 Degree Sling Angle
WLL = 14.1 ton Minimum Working Load Limit (WLL)

Calculation for Slings & Shackles

Working Load Limit for Sling & Shackles with 4 Legs

WLLmin
WLLs= 3 x cos v
WLLs = 6.65 Ton i.e. Use a shackle of 8.5 ton capacity which has a pin diameter of
28.6 mm and a Jaw Width of 43 mm
SL = 24 mm Sling Diameter
28.6 9 43

Calculation for Pad-eye

Re = 355 N/mm² Minimum Yield Stress of Pad-eye Material
H = 57 mm Shortest Distance from centre to edge of pad-eye
Dh = 30.3 mm Bolt Hole Diameter
t = 25 mm Pad-eye thickness
t1 = 6 mm Pad-eye cheek plate thickness
t2 = 35 mm Pad-eye + cheek plate thickness

Resulting Sling Load

3×R×g
RSL= (n−1 ) ×cos v
RSL = 124,861 N

Tear-out Stress

3 × RSL
Re ≥ 2 ×H × t − Dh × t

T.O.S. = 179 N/mm² OK NOTES :-

1. The thickness of the padeye at the hole shall not be less than
75% of the inside width of the joining shackle.
Contact Stress 2. The diameter of holes in pad eyes shall match the shackle
used, clearance between shackle pin and pad eye hole shall

Re≥23. 7×
C.O.S. = 257.16 N/mm²
√ RSL
Dh×t 2
OK
not exceed 6% of the shackle pin diameter.

Maximum Allowable Pad-eye Hole Diamater as per the 6% rule is 30.4mm. Therefore Selected Pad-eye Diamater
of 30.3mm is OK

The Minimum Pad-eye thickness allowd by the 75% rule is 33mm. Therefore selected pad-eye overall width
(including cheek plate) of 35mm is OK

Input Criteria
L = 3048 mm Overall Length of Unit
W = 2438 mm Overall Width of Unit
H = 3518 mm Overall Height of Unit
L1 = 2033 mm Length between Pad-eyes
W1 = 2052 mm Width between Pad-eyes
v = 45 Degree Sling Angle (used for pad-eye calculation)
v1 = 45 Degree Sling Angle (used to calculate sling length. Must be less than angle above)

Output
