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.

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 find application across diverse industries, playing a vital role in the lifting and precise placement of heavy machinery during assembly. Within construction, they facilitate the movement of substantial materials on-site, while in aerospace, they are essential for the manipulation of aircraft components during assembly and maintenance. Equally significant in maritime scenarios, these rings enable efficient cargo transport on ships and docks. Their exceptional ability to rotate under load makes them essential for accurate positioning. Moreover, swivel hoist rings serve as versatile tools for general lifting requirements across various environments.

How is this hoist ring assembled?

For the installation of this hoist ring, use a standard cap screw in the counterbores on the top of the unit. 695-701, 702 & 703 require just two screws, whereas 695-704 & 705 require four screws. The sizes of these screws can be found in the data table.

Design Features

This lift ring is manufactured from alloy steel, with the base being precision machined and the ring forged, heat related and magnaflux certified.

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. This product has been rated at a 6:1 factor. 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.
