Lifting Design Services for Mining and Industrial Operations
Safe, efficient lifting is essential to the success of any mining or heavy industrial operation. At Yenem Engineering Services, we provide expert lifting design services that ensure your structures, equipment, and loads are moved safely and in compliance with Australian Standards. From a 1-tonne lifting lug to a 100-tonne spreader beam, our team designs reliable lifting solutions built to perform under pressure.
Expert Lifting Design for Complex Loads
Having NATA-certified rigging and lifting gear is essential, but it’s only part of the solution. The safety and performance of any lift also depend on how well the load-bearing components are designed. Elements such as lifting lugs, beams, frames, and monorails must be engineered to distribute loads evenly and prevent stress concentrations that could lead to failure.
Incorrect lifting design can create serious safety hazards, damage equipment, or cause structural failure. Our role is to eliminate that risk. We ensure every lifting point and support system is structurally sound, correctly positioned, and engineered for safe, repeated use.
Complete Lifting Equipment Design
At Yenem, we deliver lifting design services across a wide range of structures and equipment commonly used in the mining and industrial sectors. Every design is tailored to the unique operational, spatial, and safety requirements of your site.
We design:
- Monorails
- Building Cranes
- Portal Cranes
- Gantry Cranes
- Runway Beams & Rail Strips
- Spreader Beams
- Lifting Lugs, Slings, Beams & Frames
- Transport Frames & Load Restraints
- Crane Lifting Studies
Each piece of lifting equipment is designed to perform safely and efficiently over its full lifecycle. Our designs are practical, code-compliant, and easy to fabricate and install.
Why Lifting Design Matters
Good lifting design isn’t just about ticking boxes for compliance. It’s about keeping people safe, protecting equipment, and making sure the job runs smoothly from start to finish. Done right, it reduces downtime, avoids costly damage, and ensures every lift goes as planned.
Our lifting designs account for:
- Load paths and distribution
- Fatigue and dynamic loading
- Weld placement and stress concentration
- Deflection limits and vibration control
- Lifting orientation and rigging geometry
- Clearance and installation logistics
By understanding your operational needs and load characteristics, we create lifting systems that are not only structurally sound but also practical to use on-site.
Built for Mining and Heavy Industry
Mining and resource sites present some of the most demanding lifting environments in Australia. High loads, restricted spaces, dynamic movement, and tough conditions are the norm. At Yenem, we have decades of experience providing lifting design for mining equipment, processing plant infrastructure, and industrial machinery.
We know how to design for the challenges of real-world conditions and how to make your lifting gear easier to build, install, and operate.
Our lifting designs can be seen across some of Australia’s largest and most respected mining operations. We regularly design custom lifting solutions for:
- Crusher and screen maintenance
- Conveyor installations and repairs
- Tank and bin replacement
- Shutdown lifting operations
- Custom lifting attachments for unique site conditions
Our Lifting Design Process
We follow a structured design process to ensure accuracy, compliance, and client satisfaction.
Step 1: Consultation and Scoping
We begin by learning about your lifting requirements; what needs to be lifted, where, and how. Whether it’s a new structure or a modification to existing equipment, we gather the critical details upfront.
Step 2: Quote and Project Brief
You’ll receive a clear, lump-sum quote that outlines the scope of work, deliverables, and timeline. Our pricing is transparent, and our engineering is value-driven.
Step 3: Engineering Design and Documentation
We prepare fully certified designs using the latest engineering software, including SolidWorks Simulation and Strand7. All lifting designs are completed in accordance with Australian Standards such as AS 4991 (Lifting Devices) and AS 4100 (Steel Structures).
Step 4: Final Delivery
You’ll receive detailed drawings, structural calculations, and design certifications ready for fabrication, installation, or site review. If needed, we also support you through the implementation process.
