Reusable Bolts for Lifting Lug

[ibrov]

I am designing lifting “trunnions“ bolted to skid base. Skid will be loaded and unloaded several times during shipment and therefore these trunnions will be also bolted and unbolted several times. I would like to use the same bolts. In this case which bolts should be specified?

Thanks in advance,

Ibro Vehabovic, P.E.

How about swivel hoist rings?

Hi Ibrov,
Are you depending on stevedores to attach and remove the trunnions, or are you sending along a trained crew with torque wrenches to do the job at each stop?

If the equipment will fit within an 8 ft. x 8 ft. x 18 ft. or 38 ft. cube, you might want to consider an ISO transmodal type skid. Handling equipment and operators for this skid are ubiquitous around the world. See
