Swivel Hoist Rings

Swivel hoist rings, also known as swivel eye bolts, are used to create rotating lifting points on items. Their function is similar to that of regular eye bolts, but swivel hoist rings are designed to rotate up to 360° to accommodate angular lifting forces without any reduction in capacity. In contrast, the working load limits of regular eye bolts are significantly reduced if used in angular lifts.

Swivel hoist rings are available with maximum load capacities ranging anywhere from 800 lbs. to 250,000 lbs. They’re commonly used to lift large, bulky, or oddly-shaped items like motors, dies, sheet metal, or shipping containers.

Swivel hoist rings are also useful when an item is going to be flipped or turned during a lift.

It is important to note that, since swivel hoist rings have more moving parts than regular eye bolts, use and inspection is slightly more complicated. Users need a torque wrench to ensure that swivel hoist rings are properly fastened to the load.

When eye bolts aren’t appropriate, swivel hoist rings from Hercules SLR help  lift heavy loads safely. Contact Hercules SLR today to get yours.
