AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing lifting systems for heavy machinery, such as mechanical shovels, often cause slippage and require time-consuming welding of lugs for secure attachment, complicating the process of safely raising and disassembling the shovel for maintenance.
Method used
A saddle and connecting member system is used to interface with the lifting mechanism, featuring a saddle with an abutment face and boom-engaging face, and connecting arms that secure to the shovel and boom, ensuring stable attachment without slippage and minimizing the need for welding.
Benefits of technology
The system provides stable and secure lifting of heavy machinery, allowing for safe disassembly and maintenance by preventing slippage and reducing the time required for setup and teardown.

Abstract
An assembly, has: a shovel having an upper part, a lower part, and a boom pivotally mounted to the upper part via a pin received through registering apertures of the upper part and the boom; and a system for interfacing a lifting mechanism to the shovel, the system having: a saddle defining an abutment face configured to be abutted by the lifting mechanism, a boom-engaging face opposite the abutment face, the boom-engaging face having a shape matching that of a portion of the boom; and a connecting member secured to both of saddle and the shovel, the shovel secured to the saddle via the connecting member.
