LUG / PLATE LUG
Plate Lug
Single plate welded to a beam flange or wall. Hole, weld, and load path sized to the lift.
SERVICE / 05
Lugs Designed for the Load Path.
Padeyes and lifting lugs designed for plate, pipe, and equipment — hole, weld, and load path in CAD.
LUG FAMILIES
Different lugs for different attachments
Typical configurations modelled in CAD and shown on a dark studio ground — so the metal sits on this theme, not a white photograph.
LUG / PIPE LUG
Pipe Lug
Saddle and padeye on pipe, vessel, or round section — for spool and skid lifts.
LUG / DOUBLE-PLATE PADEYE
Double-Plate Padeye
Cheek plates and pin for shackle connection on equipment, frames, and lifting points.
PROBLEM
The constraint
An undersized or poorly placed lug fails at the weld or the pin — usually at the worst moment of the lift.
SOLUTION
What we provide
SV MechCAD designs lifting lugs and padeyes for the SWL, sling angle, and parent structure. Different lug types are modelled to the job, not copied from a scrapbook.
- Plate lugs, pipe lugs, and equipment padeyes
- Pin, shackle, and sling-angle geometry
- Weld size and parent-plate consideration
- CAD, detailing, and optional FEA on the connection
WORKFLOW
How the work proceeds
01
Define SWL, sling angle, and attachment structure
02
Select lug type and orientation
03
Model the lug, hole, and weld
04
Deliver drawings for fabrication with the parent job
OUTCOME
Benefits
- Load path designed, not assumed
- Hole and weld sized to the lift
- Lug family tailored to plate, pipe, or skid
