Lifting pillars allow us to lift and lower bell-type industrial furnace. Pillars are subjected to high loads and therefore it is necessary to conduct strength analysis to ensure correct and safe operation. We used both analytical and numerical methods for the analysis, the theoretical basics of which are presented in the starting chapters. In the first part of the following chapter analytical calculations used to analyse the axle and its elements are presented, and in the second part, the finite element method is used to analyse the welded construction of the pillar. In the last part of this paper results and conclusions are presented. Through these analyses, all analysed elements were proven to be adequate.
