Lifting tools

Engineered to endure the most extreme conditions

Technical validation, analysis, and documentation of lifting equipment

At Flindt Kristensen Engineering, we specialize in technical verification, evaluation, and documentation of lifting equipment — from small lifting beams to highly complex, custom-engineered structures with extremely high WLLs, ranging from a few kilograms to several thousand tonnes.

Failures in lifting tools can have serious consequences for employees, equipment, and production. That is why we base our work on well‑documented calculations, applicable standards such as CE marking, and deep expertise in regulations for lifting equipment.

Our mechanical engineers ensure full compliance with all relevant requirements and standards, and that your lifting tools performs safely in real‑world operation.

Solutions that work in practice

Extensive experience in different lifting operations

As one of Denmark’s leading specialists in the design of lifting equipment, we handle both standardised tasks and complex bespoke projects within lifting equipment and lifting operations.

Our experience spans industrial lifting, offshore and wind projects , special transport, assembly and installation work, and fully customised lifting solutions.

We furthermore support lifting operations across various industries and specialised sectors — including defence‑related projects with stringent requirements for safety, documentation, precision, and confidentiality.

Each assignment is assessed individually with attention to load conditions, intended use, and safety, ensuring that the lifting operation is performed correctly and in accordance with all relevant standards and requirements.

Lifting tools services

We carry out technical assessments, verification, and documentation of, including but not limited to:

Static and dynamic load-bearing strength analyses
Compliance verification of lifting yokes, spreader beams, and custom equipment
Determination and assessment of WLL
Assessment of safety factors
Development of technical documentation
Engineering calculation reports and complete supporting material

All work is carried out in compliance with the relevant norms, standards, and regulations for lifting equipment.

Rigging analysis and load calculations

As part of our lifting equipment services, we ensure that all components in the lifting system function together as intended – including:

Analysis of forces in wire ropes, chains, and lifting slings
Vurdering af vinkler og lastfordeling
Design and sizing of shackles, fittings, and connections
Assessment of supports and contact pressures
Engineering analysis of lifting and installation operations

The calculations are carried out in accordance with applicable DNV requirements and documented as part of the project material. The purpose is to ensure that the entire lifting system is correctly designed and fully documented.

Supply of complete lifting yokes

In addition to calculations and technical verification, we can deliver complete lifting yokes as an integrated solution.

Through close collaboration with our experienced manufacturing partners, we can handle design and detailed engineering, production basis and drawings,qualified fabrication, technical verfication and documentation, and load testing – all consolidated into one turnkey delivery.

This ensures full integration between design, analysis, testing, and production of specialized lifting frames — providing a safe and streamlined process where we take responsibility for the entire lifecycle, from initial concept to certified lifting yoke.

Our approach

Our work is founded on:

Technical engineering analysis
Fully documented calculations
Analysis of loading conditions
Assessment of failure and safety margins
Comprehensive, clearly structured documentation

Built on strong engineering expertise and specialised competence in lifting tools, our mechanical engineers ensure a consistently high technical standard across all projects.
