What are the dos and don'ts of using hoist rings?

Do's

1. Observe working load limitations (be especially careful with eyebolts used for angle lifts – see sling angle diagram).
2. Visually inspect hoist ring prior to use.
3. Fully tighten hoist ring to recommended torque. Full thread engagement is required (no space between swivel bushing and lift).
4. Assure proper thread depth - do not shim.
5. Make sure hoist rings have free travel - it must swivel and pivot without restrictions.
6. When installing in soft metal, such as aluminium, the minimum effective thread engagement should be two times the diameter of the thread (1-1/2 times bolt diameter – steel).

Don'ts

1. Never pull a Centre Pull Style hoist ring from the side.
2. Never use an oversized hook in eyebolts or hoist rings
3. Never use excessive sling angle.
4. Never steam clean or degrease hoist rings (could cause rusting and binding).
5. Never apply shock loads.
6. Never allow the side of a hoist ring to make contact with the lift.

What applications are hoist rings typically used in?

Swivel hoist rings uses span various industries. They possess a pivotal role in the lifting and positioning of heavy machinery during the manufacturing assembly process. In the context of construction, these rings contribute to the secure and efficient movement of substantial materials at construction sites. Within the aerospace sector, they prove essential for manoeuvring aircraft components during both assembly and maintenance phases. Additionally, these rings hold substantial significance in maritime settings, facilitating the transport of considerable cargo on ships and docks. Their distinctive ability to rotate while bearing a load renders them indispensable for tasks demanding precise positioning and adaptability. Moreover, swivel hoist rings are extensively utilized to address general lifting requirements across diverse environments.

How is this hoist ring assembled?

For the installation of this hoist ring, it's essential to screw in the central cap screw to the advised tightening torque, which is specified in the product data table. Additionally, the maximum tightening torque is conveniently indicated on the top of the hoist ring for straightforward on-site installation.

Design Features

This hoist ring is manufactured from alloy steel that has been chemically blacked. The screw in the centre of the hoist ring is secured with a circlip, meaning it is captive and cannot be removed easily from the hoist ring. The extra long bar means the hoist ring is suitable for bulkier sling assemblies. The components U-bar, bolt, pins, base, washer, and bushing are all Magnetic Particle Inspected

Load Rating and Certification

Each WDS hoist ring arrives with a certificate of proof test and the relevant CE markings. To ascertain the load capacity of the desired hoist ring, refer to the product data table. The forged ring strength is factor 5:1. It's important to consider that the use of a sling or the positioning of the load at an angle to the hoist ring can influence the maximum load capacity. For accurate calculations and a visual example, consult the diagram presented on the product information page.

Materials

Steel is a highly versatile and durable material that offers numerous benefits in various industries. One of the key advantages of steel is its exceptional strength, making it suitable for applications requiring structural integrity, such as in construction and engineering projects. Moreover, steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, allowing it to withstand harsh environments and maintain its integrity over time. Additionally, steel is a sustainable choice as it is 100% recyclable, reducing the need for new production and minimizing environmental impact. The versatility of steel is evident in its ability to be fabricated into different shapes and sizes, enabling its use in a wide range of applications. Whether it's used in automotive manufacturing, infrastructure development, or everyday household items, steel's reliability and durability make it an ideal material choice.
