Do I intend to design my construction in such a way corresponding
to the European machine guideline or other statutory regulations.Will it be of interest to me how my construction will safelyand economically be lifted, turned, lashed andmounted during the complete manufacturing process?Have I provided suitable suspensions (lifting-/lashing points) forevery individual part weighing > 15 kg/33 lbs, every individual sub-
assembly and for the complete construction?Have I prepared the load from the initial production step with theproper thread hole to attach RUD lifting points?Have the suspensions been arranged and chosen in such a way that the sling system and the construction itself allows a safe and smooth lifting procedure? Have the suspensions been chosen in such a way thatevery sling system (hook assembly, ring asembly, wire
rope sling, round industrial slings) can be used without necessita-
ting additional manipulations being time-consuming
and insecure, e.g., with bolting shackles?Is the position at where the lifting point is to be attached suitable for force introduction? If then go on...

Eye bolt DIN 580 Insuffi-cient! Frequently heavy plates are used which have notbeen designed for a possible inclined load, or they
have been over dimensioned such, that hooks with
a small width or shackles cannot be attached.
