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?

316 stainless steel hoist rings find their applications in various industries where corrosion resistance and durability are crucial. They are commonly used in marine environments, such as shipbuilding and offshore oil rigs, due to their ability to withstand saltwater and harsh conditions. These hoist rings are also employed in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment manufacturing, where hygiene and resistance to chemicals are essential. Additionally, they are utilized in chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and other industries involving exposure to corrosive substances. The high corrosion resistance and strength of 316 stainless steel make these hoist rings suitable for demanding environments where standard materials might fail.

How is this hoist ring assembled?

Using the fitting tool (WDS part number 695-801), align the installation tool pins to the holes on the top of the hoist ring. Turn the top of the eyebolt until the pins drop into the base. Then tighten to the recommended torque with a torque wrench.

Design Features

This hoist ring is manufactured from 316 grade stainless steel due to it's exceptional corrosion resistance and durability in more demanding environments. The holes on its top surface offer an anti-tamper solution, ensuring removal without the required fitting tool is prevented.

Load Rating and Certification

All WDS hoist rings come with a proof test certificate and relevant CE markings. Refer to the product data table for your hoist ring's load capacity. Each hoist ring has been pull tested 200% of load capacity. If a sling is in use or the load is at an angle, the maximum load capacity may change. Consult the diagram on the product information page for specific calculations and examples.

Materials

Stainless steel is a highly versatile material that offers numerous benefits across various applications. One of the significant advantages of stainless steel is its exceptional corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, and harsh weather conditions. Additionally, stainless steel possesses excellent strength and durability, ensuring longevity and reliability in different settings. Its hygienic properties make it an ideal choice for applications in the medical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Stainless steel is also highly resistant to high and low temperatures, making it suitable for both hot and cold environments. Moreover, it is aesthetically pleasing, providing a sleek and modern look to architectural structures and appliances. With its recyclability and sustainability, stainless steel is an environmentally friendly choice. Overall, stainless steel's unique combination of strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal makes it a preferred material for a wide range of applications.
