A metallurgical vessel is usually mounted in a annulus or the like by means of which the vessel can be tilted; however occasionally the vessel has to be removed from the annulus; accordingly a plurality of tension means are articulated by means of spherical bearings to the upper side of the annulus being comprised of a plurality of wires in the upper part with a hinge element and a tension head in the lower part; claw elements are affixed to the vessel and have lateral openings through which the tension head can be laterally inserted due to the articulation and/or the hinging; the head will lodge behind the claw element and can be tightened by means of a tension nut.
