Lifting Points
- Lifting points are critical components of lifting equipment used to safely attach a load to a crane or other lifting device. Designed to withstand both the weight of the lifted object and the force exerted by the lifting device, they provide a secure and stable connection during lifting operations, ensuring safety and reliability.
- Swivel lifting points offer a versatile lifting solution, accommodating the swing, sway, and roll of loads without compromising the performance of fasteners. Functioning similarly to standard eye bolts, swivel lifting points feature fully threaded rods available in metric or UNC thread. Their primary purpose is to connect lifting equipment with the load, serving as a practical and secure anchor point for hoisting, turning, rotating and moving heavy objects.
- These lifting points pivot up to 180 degrees and rotate 360 degrees, enabling users to locate the optimal load-bearing point for safe lifting. We offer an extensive range of lifting points to meet the diverse needs of various industries, including automotive mold manufacturing, wind power equipment, and mechanical and electrical machinery, ensuring reliable performance in demanding lifting applications.
- As a trusted manufacturer, we produce lifting points made from high-quality materials, designed to be durable, safe, and easy to use. Our modern and rigorously tested lifting solutions enhance safety for both operators and loads while improving efficiency. Moreover, they significantly reduce handling times, offering cost-effective benefits that make a measurable difference in your operations.

Key Advantages of Lifting Points in Lifting Applications
- Load stability: Lifting points allow the load to remain stable in its position, reducing the risk of accidents during operations.
- Durability and longevity: Our swivel lifting points are made of high-strength alloy steel, with epoxy-coated ring bodies and black oxide-treated bolts. These features provide exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Reusability: When properly installed, with undamaged threads and no undue stress applied, lifting points can be reused, making them a cost-effective investment.
- Rated capacity: Our hoist rings offer a wide range of load capacities, from 0.3 tons to 250 tons, accommodating various lifting applications across industries.

Installation Guidelines
When installing a lifting point, it is critical to use the correct wrench to control the torque applied to the ring. One of the common issues during installation is the overtightening of lifting points, which can restrict their ability to rotate, placing excessive stress on the threads and failing to meet installation requirements.
Each lifting point has a specific torque value provided in the product details. Adhering to this value during installation is essential. Excessive torque can stress and damage the threads, while insufficient torque may result in the lifting point not being securely attached to the load, potentially leading to deformation or failure during use.

Factors to Consider Before Using Lifting Points for Safe and Efficient Operations
Since lifting points are used for hoisting, certain general factors must be considered before use:
- Load requirements: Understanding the weight the lifting point will bear is crucial. Errors in load calculation can negatively affect the lifting point's performance, possibly leading to equipment damage or worker hazards.
- Load movement: Lifting points are designed to adapt to tilting, rolling, and swinging during lifting operations. However, it is essential to assess the extent of these movements to choose the appropriate lifting point or adjust the lifting process accordingly.
- Environmental factors: Determine whether the lifting point will be exposed to water, temperature fluctuations, or highly corrosive environments. These conditions can influence the choice of lifting point coatings and materials.
- Safety: Before using a lifting point, ensure the entire process complies with safety regulations, training requirements, installation standards, and inspection thresholds necessary for the operation.
