Right,
Imagine you have one of these to machine.... (pelton runner)
And imagine you are machining it from solid and that after your first roughing operation the part looks like this:
Now, the question is, how would you rig this part so that you can flip it over to do the same roughing operation on the opposite side?
For reference the part(s) are up to 1.4m (55inch) in diameter and weigh approx 4000Kg (8800lbs).
We have a single hoist 25 ton crane available at the site of the machine, I understand how this lift would be done with a dual hoist crane:

However with a single hoist crane I'm worried that if we hitched at the circumference of the part and lifted from there we would shock load the crane as the part "tips" in to the vertical position
What do you guys think the best way to turn over this part?
Thanks in advance
