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).
