Lifting assembly for generator enclosure

A lifting assembly for a generator enclosure, the lifting assembly comprising:

• at least one lifting pin including a lift hook and a shaft attached to and extending away from the lift hook, the shaft including a keyway extending along the length of the shaft;
• at least one key disposed in the keyway and attached the shaft;
• and
• a generator enclosure including at least one lock assembly including at least on keyhole configured to receive the at least one key and the shaft when the at least one key is in a predetermined position and prevent the shaft and the at least one key from moving through the at least on keyhole when the at least one key is in another position other than the predetermined position.

A method of lifting a portion of a generator enclosure with a lifting assembly, the lifting assembly including at least one lifting pin having a lift hook including a hook opening, a shaft attached to and extending away from the lift hook, at least one key attached to the shaft protruding beyond a radius of the shaft, and a generator enclosure including at least one keyhole configured to allow the at least one key and the shaft to move through the at least one keyhole when the at least one key is in a single, specific radial position and prevent the shaft and the at least one key from moving through the at least on keyhole when the at least one key is in a radial position other than the specific radial position, the method comprising:

• inserting the shaft and the at least one key through the at least one keyhole while the key is in the specific radial position;
• rotating the shaft about a central axis of the shaft so that the at least one key is in a radial position other than the specific radial position;
• and
• lifting a portion of the generator enclosure using the hook opening in the at least one lifting pin.
