Hoist Rings
Posted on
Lifting or hoist rings are heavy duty instruments used to lift or lower various loads and machine assemblies. They connect the crane to the load you want to move. Various types of rings include the standard low-profile, which attaches directly to a mounting surface with socket head screws, the swivel, capable of 180-degree pivot and 360-degree rotation, and lifting pins. The type of ring and the required capacity depends on many factors such as the weight, size and material of the load. All Carr Lane's rings meet or exceed a 5:1 factor of safety and most meet or exceed ASTM B30.26.
