Lifting Loads at an Angle Could Prove Disastrous

Many accidents are caused as a result of exceeding the rated load capacity. When using machinery eye bolts for example, the rated load capacity is reduced significantly due to lifting at an angle.  Swivel hoist rings stay at 100% of stated capacity at virtually any angle. 

In order to achieve 100% capacity, proper installation is required to comply with torque value.

Note: Swivel hoist rings must be sized based on the actual sling tension calculated from the weight of the live load adjusted for the angle of lift.

Types of swivel hoist rings include:

• AISI 4140 Alloy
• Stainless Steel
• Side Pull
• Lifting Ring
• Forged Side Pull
• Speed Base
• Forged Swivel Hoist Ring
• Forged Hoist Ring
• “Mold Handler” Ball Bearing
• Ultra Lifting Ring Ball Bearing

All swivel hoist rings have 360^◦ swivel and 180^◦ pivot, are 100% magnetic particle inspected, certified heat treated, and serialized and proof tested to 200% of working load limit.
