A rigger looking for help!
Hi everyone,
I am hoping you could help me with a formula to find what the lifted load would be when removing a boom and stick from an excavator in one piece? I have the COGs of both components and have calculated the combined COG, I have the measurements from the lift point to COG and fulcrum to COG.
The formula I have been using is:
X = X2 x Y2/Y1
Where:
X = lifted load
Y1 = distance from fulcrum to lift point
Y2 = distance from COG to lift point
X2 = total weight of object.
I might be way off here and any help is appreciated. Just trying to get better.
