Product Information

Full details

This guide is for professionals in the lifting and engineering industries who require robust and versatile attachment points for hoisting operations. The SecureFix Direct Swivel Lifting Rings offer a key benefit of providing secure, multi-directional lifting capabilities where natural attachment points are absent, with a caveat that proper bolt selection and torque are crucial for safety. These M12 Grade 80 lifting points are designed for strength, durability, and flexibility, featuring 360-degree rotation and 180-degree pivot to accommodate various lifting angles and prevent side loading.

FAQs

What does 'Grade 80' refer to?

Grade 80 is a classification for high-strength alloy steel used in lifting chains and components, indicating superior tensile strength and toughness compared to lower grades.

Are bolts included with the lifting rings?

No, bolts are not included. Users must select and provide appropriate Grade 80 or higher tensile bolts suitable for their specific application and load requirements.

Can these lifting rings be used for overhead lifting?

Yes, provided they are correctly installed on a suitable structure and the entire lifting system (including slings, chains, and the object itself) is rated for the load and used according to safety standards.

How often should I inspect the lifting rings?

Regular visual inspections should be performed before each use. More thorough periodic inspections by a competent person are recommended according to industry best practices and regulations.

What is the significance of the 'Factor Of Safety - 4:1'?

A factor of safety of 4:1 means the breaking strength of the lifting point is at least four times its stated Safe Working Load (SWL), providing a significant margin for safety under normal operating conditions.

Can I use these lifting rings in corrosive environments?

While the Grade 80 material is strong, it can be susceptible to corrosion. For highly corrosive environments, consider specialized coatings or materials. Regular cleaning and inspection are vital.

Where can I get a Test Certificate?

Test Certificates can typically be supplied by email upon request from the manufacturer or supplier, SecureFix Direct in this case.

Troubleshooting

Lifting ring appears loose after installation

Re-check bolt tightness and ensure correct torque specification is met. Verify that the mounting surface is rigid and free from damage.

Difficulty rotating or pivoting the ring

Inspect for debris, dirt, or corrosion that might be obstructing movement. Clean the pivot points thoroughly. If damage is suspected, discontinue use.

Visible signs of wear or damage

Immediately remove the lifting ring from service. Replace with a new, certified lifting point. Do not attempt to repair.

Lifting ring does not meet SWL requirements

Ensure the lifting ring itself is rated for the load. Crucially, verify that the bolts used for attachment and the object being lifted can also handle the load safely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength due to Grade 80 material.
  • Versatile 360-degree rotation and 180-degree pivot capabilities.
  • High Safe Working Load (SWL) of 20 Ton.
  • Designed for easy bolt-on installation and removal.
  • Meets recognized industry safety standards (BS EN 1677).

Cons

  • Requires careful selection of appropriate bolts for mounting, not included.
  • Potential for finish variations (e.g., yellow color).
  • Requires periodic inspection to maintain safety integrity.
  • Bolt-on nature means it's not a permanent fixture.
  • Effective use depends on user understanding of load limits and angles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select appropriate Grade 80 or higher tensile bolts with the correct length and thread for your specific application and the object being lifted.
  2. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and strong enough to support the load.
  3. Insert the bolt(s) through the lifting ring's mounting holes and into the designated threaded holes or through-holes of the object being lifted.
  4. Tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for the bolt size and grade. Over or under-tightening can compromise safety.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with M12 threaded connections or through-bolted applications.
  • Compatible with various lifting accessories such as shackles, eye bolts, and lifting chains.
  • Suitable for use with any lifting equipment that adheres to its specified Safe Working Load (SWL).

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the lifting ring for any signs of wear, deformation, cracks, or corrosion.
  • Clean the lifting ring with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store in a dry environment when not in use.
  • Always refer to the Test Certificate for detailed specifications and safety guidelines.
