Question:

Is it safe to lift a heavy load using three crawler crane for the purpose to rotate the item?

Lifting a cylindrical steel vessel kind of thing is required to change it's postion from vertical to horizontal for cutting into pieces. The cranes deployed are indivisually operated.

Answer:

This is strictly a question for an experienced rigging contractor. There is a lot more to the question than just what cranes you are using. I have been involved in the lifting of many large vessels up to 150 foot in length and over 600,000 lbs. If you have to ask questions like the above, you have no business even involved in such a project. There are many contractors who are experienced in doing the kind of work you are asking about. I would not undertake such a job without some very experienced folks taking the lead.
Need manufacturer model of crane and weight size of item. Rotating should not be a problem if you call the manufacturer of the crane and get the lift weight approved.
Forget about it. Too risky. Rent a larger crane or get a contractor so you can blame him/her if anything goes wrong.
