The equipment shall be outfitted with suitable attachments for overhead lifting. 1.1 For multiple point lifts, each lifting attachment shall be capable of supporting one-half the gross weight of the equipment with a design factor of five to one based on ultimate strength. For single point lifts, the lifting attachment shall be capable of supporting the gross weight of the equipment with a design factor of five to one based on ultimate strength. 1.2 For multiple point lifts, each lifting attachment shall be designed to accept a standard anchor shackle (Federal Specification RR-C-271D, type IVA) which is capable of supporting one-half the gross weight of the equipment. For single point lifts, the lifting attachment shall be designed to accept a standard anchor shackle (Federal Specification RR-C-271D, Type IVA) which is capable of supporting the gross weight of the equipment. 1.3 Design of the lifting attachments shall be such that the attachments and shackles are not side loaded more than 10 deg out of the plane. Lifting attachments shall be located such that the lifting slings do not contact the equipment, or alternatively a spreader beam certified to NAVFAC P-307 shall be provided. Whenever practical, the lifting attachments shall be located above the center of gravity, and such that the lifting slings do not contact the equipment housings. 1.4 Each lifting attachment shall be conspicuously marked in a contrasting color "Lift Here". Letters shall be a minimum of 1 inch in height. 2. The equipment shall be marked in a prominent location with the gross weight. Sand hoppers, tubs or other containers that may contain material shall be marked with the empty and full weight (or alternatively the empty weight and working load limit). Marking shall be upper case letters of a contrasting color with a minimum height of 1 inch. Marking shall include the units (i.e. pounds, long tons etc). 3. The equipment shall be provided with a lifting sketch/rigging diagram that meets the requirements described herein. 3.1. The lifting sketch shall detail any specific requirements and/or configurations that must be met prior to lifting (i.e. Engage swing lock, Tilt mast back fully, Rotate lifting basket over side, Utilize 10 ft min. length slings, Spreader beam required, etc) 3.2 The lifting sketch shall include the location of the center of gravity of the equipment (full fuel, hydraulic tanks, etc)., model/manufacturer, and gross weight. 3.3 A copy of the lifting sketch shall be permanently posted on the equipment.4. If specialized handling gear other than shackles, standard slings, or chainfalls (i.e. spreader beams, special lift rigs, etc) is required, the contractor shall provide it.
