Wixroyd Swivel Lifting Rings

Swivel lifting rings

Our swivel lifting rings fully comply with the EC directive 2006/42/EC. They are CE marked and are supplied with a Certificate of Conformity. There is a 100% check on anti-cracking, a proof load test of 2.5 x load limit and a safety factor of 5 on most parts. Each ring is individually marked to ensure full product traceability.

The Swivel Lifting Rings come in three main forms - depending on the number of axis required to swivel. The most popular type is the double swivel rings.

Single Swivel - threads M8 - M48 loads 0,3 tons - 15 tons

Double Swivel - threads M4 - M100 loads 0,05 tons - 50 tons

Triple Swivel - threads M8 - M56 loads 0,3 tons - 22 tons

Wixroyd Swivel Lifting Rings - Product Information

Lifting Angles

For full information on lifting arrangements see technical pages

Installation information

Never use an oversized hook or other lifting device which will pry or tend to open the "U" shaped bar on centre pull hoist rings.

After installation check the hoist ring to be sure it swivels and pivots freely in all directions. The side of the ring must not contact anything.

Always ensure full thread engagement when installing hoist rings.

Wixroyd Swivel Lifting Rings - Product Overview

Operating Instructions

Note: The full thread must be engaged. Longer thread lengths can be supplied on request or a bolt and washer/nut combination can be used.

  • Ensure all lifting bolts are CE marked.
  • Ensure they are handled by qualified personnel.
  • refer to the operating instructions particularly with regards to product selection, any possibility of the load swivelling, the effect of lifting angles on the load capacity (see relevant tables), etc.
  • Never allow any personnel underneath a suspended load.
  • Always heed the load rating of the lifting bolt
  • Always perform a visual inspection of the lifting rings prior to use. Checking for any damage to thread and/or swivelling system. Check for wear or corrosion, signs of stress or bending. Check CE mark and load rating.
  • Ensure a yearly full service inspection is performed.
  • Always ensure the full bottom face of the lifting bolts is in contact with a smooth, square surface.
  • Ensure bolt is tightened to the correct torque
  • Ensure full and unrestricted movement of the lifting ring in all directions
  • Before each lift ensure the correect orientation of the shackle in the lift direction.
  • Avoid using our standard steel lifting rings in corrosive environments eg. sandy, chemical, acid, moisture etc. In this case consider using our stainless steel lifting rings.
  • Note the thread length requirements:
  • 1 x thread diameter for steel (ST 37min.).
  • 1.25 x thread diameter for cast iron.
  • 2 x thread diameter for aluminium.
  • 2.5 x thread diameter for other light metals.
  • If fixing into low resistance material it is better to allow for a bigger diameter thread to compensate for the lower material resistance.

Standard lifting eye bolts DIN580 and DIN582

These are CE marked and are available with male or female threads in either steel or stainless steel (A4 AISI 316). Thye are meant only for axial loads, load bearing or lateral loads at a maximum of 45° from the thread. They are not for use under shear tension or loads (across the thread), nor for loads likely to swviel.

Applied forces must act in the direction of the eye bolt plane, do not apply forces across the eye bolt plane.

Heavy Duty Safety Hoist Rings

Heavy duty safety hoist rings are stronger than competitive lifting devices, providing better value while delivering the quality and safety only the best design and manufacture can achieve.

  • Manufactured from high strength alloy steel
  • One piece body and shouldered d-ring element
  • Just 6 component parts for increased safety

The patented shoulder pin used in our heavy duty safety hoist rings allows for rotation of the pin, without shearing of any retaining dowel pin which is so often used in the construction of other competitive hoist rings. This unique design element enables disassembly of our hoist rings for inspection, compliance testing and reassembly.

General maintenance and care

Improper maintenance and inspection of your hoist ring could result in damaged equipment, personal injury or even death. In order to ensure maximum safety please read, understand and follow these maintenance and inspection guidelines prior to using any lifting hoist ring.

Maintenance

  • When not in use, store hoist rings carefully to prevent corrosion or accidental damage.
  • Do not remove the installation and safety tag from the lifting device. Ensure the identification tag remains legible during the life to the lifting device.

Inspection

Visually inspect the lifting device prior to any use. Frequency of inspection should increase with the frequency of use, severity of service conditions and the more safety critical the use of the device.

Discontinue use of any lifting device if inspection identifi es any of the following:

  • Missing identification tags.
  • Indications of heat damage.
  • Excessive corrosion or pitting.
  • Damaged or missing load bearing components.
  • Excessive nicks or gouges.
  • Excessive thread damage.
  • Evidence of unauthorised welding or modification.
  • Lack of ability to swivel 360º or pivot 180º.

Important installation and operation instructions

It is very important for you to read and comply with these installation and safety notes prior to use or any lifting device.

Installation

  • Ensure thread has been tapped perpendicular to the mounting surface. Mounting surface should be flat to provide full 360º flush seating for the hoist ring.
  • For installation in ferrous metal ensure bolt is tightened to the full torque load +0-20% (as specified on the product data sheet).
  • To ensure the 5:1 design safety factor we recommend the ultimate tensile strength of the mating material to be min. 80,000 psi.
  • For weaker mating material consider using longer bolts or through hole mounting with a nut and washer to the back side. To prevent stripping the mating thread, lower torque values (down to half and stated value) may be considered in temporary installations.
  • On completion of installation check the lifting ring can swivel and pivot freely in all directions.
  • Use at temperatures between -30°C and +200°C

Safety notes

  • Never exceed the working load limit.
  • Visually inspect the hoist ring for damage before each use.
  • Loosening of the a bolt may develop after prolonged service, it is advisable to periodically retighten to the specified torque value.
  • Apply lifting loads gradually to avoid shock loads.
  • Use of free fit spacers between the lifting ring bush flange and the mounting surface is not recommended.
  • Do not over size hooks nor use attachment methods which spread the ring.
  • It is important to align the lifting ring with the direction of the load.
  • Do not attach guidelines to hoist rings.
  • Do not leave a gap between lifting ring bushing and mounting surface.
  • Never allow personnel to walk underneath a suspended load.

Hoist Ring Safety and Installation

Formula to calculate the load per lifting ring

Important note: The force exerted on each hoist ring is not simply a function of the total weight divided by the number of hoist rings, but is critically reliant upon the lifting angle, greater forces are present the lower the lifting angle. See example below.

Angular lifting

Correct

Wrong

Do not allow the lifting ring to bind/stick and hence apply side loads to the bail. Ensure loads applied are in the same direction of the bail. If necessary use a spreader bar to avoid binding.
