[0002] Common gas turbine blades are heavier after processing (for example, 4000F V4 blades).

Moreover, in the case of manual handling, there is a risk of falling from the hands and causing the product to be scrapped. In addition, the blade needs to be installed on the hanger with the back curve facing up. For example, for the 4000F V4 blade, the angle between the blade and the fixture is 20.05°, but conventional lifting tools cannot meet this requirement. Utility Model Content
