About Lifting with Hoist Rings

Hoist Rings—For Lifting
Designed for angular lifting, hoist rings resist stresses that would bend or break an eyebolt. They have a lifting ring that pivots 180° front to back and a base that swivels 360° to compensate for pitch, roll, and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads. Install the base of the hoist ring flush to the mounting surface and tighten to the recommended torque that is stamped on the ring. Torque wrenches are sold separately.
Machined hoist rings have a smooth finish to protect slings and hooks from damage and excess wear during lifting.
Black-oxide steel hoist rings have mild corrosion resistance.
Nickel-plated steel hoist rings are more corrosion resistant than black-oxide steel hoist rings.
17-4 PH stainless steel hoist rings are more corrosion resistant than steel hoist rings.
316 stainless steel hoist rings are the most corrosion resistant.
High-visibility hoist rings are fluorescent green, so they’re easy to distinguish from other hardware when attached to equipment being lifted.
Hoist rings that are CE marked meet European safety standards.
Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the hoist ring can lift is significantly reduced. For example, when lifting a 1,000 lb. load at a 45° angle, you must choose a hoist ring with a capacity of at least 1,400 lbs. Do not use at an angle less than 30°.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Side-Mount Hoist Rings—For Lifting
Choose these hoist rings when you need to lift your load from the side. Designed for angular lifting, hoist rings resist stresses that would bend or break an eyebolt. They have a lifting ring that pivots 180° front to back and a base that swivels 360° to compensate for pitch, roll, and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads. Install the base of the hoist ring flush to the mounting surface and tighten to the recommended torque that is stamped on the ring. Torque wrenches are sold separately.
D-shape hoist rings have a wider end than triangle hoists, so it’s easier to attach webbing and large hooks.
Triangle hoist rings have a narrow end to keep chain in place.
Black-oxide steel hoist rings have mild corrosion resistance.
Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the hoist ring can lift is significantly reduced. For example, when lifting a 1,000 lb. load at a 45° angle, you must choose a hoist ring with a capacity of at least 1,400 lbs. Do not use at an angle less than 30°.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Swivel-Under-Load Hoist Rings—For Lifting
The ball bearing on these hoist rings makes it easy to rotate your load even after it’s suspended. For unbalanced or heavy loads, the base also swivels to compensate for pitch, roll, and sway. Their lifting ring pivots 180° front to back. Ideal for angular lifting, these hoist rings withstand stresses that bend or break eyebolts.
Install the base of these hoist rings flush to your mounting surface. Use a torque wrench to tighten to the recommended torque stamped on the ring.

Nonswiveling Hoist Rings—For Lifting
The fixed base provides added stability and allows you to lift heavy loads with smaller thread sizes. Designed for angular lifting, hoist rings resist stresses that would bend or break an eyebolt. They have a lifting ring that pivots 180° front to back to compensate for roll and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads. Install the base of the hoist ring flush to the mounting surface and tighten to the recommended torque that is stamped on the ring. Torque wrenches are sold separately.

Hoist Ring Assortments—For Lifting
Keep on hand all the parts needed to assemble custom hoist rings. Ideal for angular lifting, these hoist rings will withstand stresses that bend or break eyebolts. The base of these hoist rings will swivel 360° to compensate for pitch, roll, and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads. The shackle will pivot 180° front to back. All parts have a black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance.
Install the base of these hoist rings flush to your mounting surface. Use a torque wrench to tighten to the recommended torque stamped on the ring.

Eyebolts—For Lifting
Also known as machinery eyebolts.
Zinc-plated steel eyebolts offer good corrosion resistance.
304 stainless steel eyebolts are more corrosion resistant than galvanized steel.
316 stainless steel are the most corrosion resistant eyebolts.
Passivated 316 stainless steel eyebolts provide added protection against oxidation and corrosion.
Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. Eyebolts with shoulder can be used for angular lifting up to 45°, but the capacities will be significantly reduced. For angular lifting, we recommend Hoist Rings. Eyebolts without shoulder are for vertical lifting only.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Rotating Eyebolts—For Lifting
Unlike conventional eyebolts, you can rotate the eye 360° to match the angle of your load.
Powder-coated steel eyebolts are impact resistant, but less corrosion resistant than stainless steel eyebolts. They include a removable key for tightening the bolt.
Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. Eyebolts with shoulder can be used for angular lifting up to 45°, but the capacities will be significantly reduced. For angular lifting, we recommend Hoist Rings.

Eye Nuts—For Lifting
Create your own lifting eye by adding an eye nut to a stud or bolt.
Zinc-plated steel eye nuts offer good corrosion resistance.
Galvanized steel eye nuts have a hot-dipped finish for more corrosion resistance than zinc-plated steel.
316 stainless steel are the most corrosion resistant eye nuts.
Note: Capacity applies to the eye nut only. The stud or bolt you use will affect the overall capacity. Eye nuts are for vertical lifting only.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
