Abstract
A combustor assembly lift system comprises a track that extends in at least a longitudinal direction, a lift arm moveably engaged with the track such that it can traverse along the track in at least the longitudinal direction, and a combustor assembly engagement frame connected to the lift arm, wherein the combustor assembly engagement frame is configured to temporarily secure to at least a portion of a combustor assembly.
Claims18
A combustor assembly lift system comprising:
- a track that extends in at least a longitudinal direction;
- a support arm comprising a first end rotatably engaged with the track such that the support arm is enabled to traverse along the track in at least the longitudinal direction
- a lift arm moveably rotatably engaged with a second end of the support arm engaged that is engaged with the track such that the lift arm is enabled to rotatably traverse the track with the support arm as the support arm longitudinally traverses along the track in at least the longitudinal direction;
- and,
- a combustor assembly engagement frame connected to the lift arm, wherein the combustor assembly engagement frame is configured to temporarily secure to at least a portion of a combustor assembly.
