Light the Way for Safety

Companies that work with heavy equipment know the importance of remaining cautious and aware of potential hazards. Wherever there are moving parts, there is the possibility of injury or death.

The Forewarner-Max reduces accidents by warning pedestrians with a light projected onto the floor or ground showing there is a crane in close proximity. The light provides a frame of reference when controlling a load and is very effective in precise positioning of the crane.

Features:

  •         Designed for indoor and outdoor use.
  •         Heavy duty cast aluminum.
  •         Includes an adjustable mounting bracket.
  •         The 150 degree up/down mounting bracket allows precise positioning of beam on the floor below.





Three different systems are available with a 9” spotlight with 24 LED focused beams. Light option colors are blue, red or white.

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. 

Swivel Hoist Rings

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.
