360° Rotation and 180° Pivot Advantages:
The combination of 360° rotation and 180° pivoting provides unmatched versatility for multi-directional lifting applications. The swivel action automatically aligns with the load direction during lifting operations from any angle, eliminating dangerous side loading on the attachment point and minimizing stress on the threaded connection. This self-aligning capability is essential for applications where load direction may vary or where multiple rigging angles are required.
Dual Safety Factor Options:
This anchor point offers flexibility with two safety factor ratings: 5:1 design factor for 2.4 ton WLL (conservative rating for critical applications) or 4:1 design factor for 3 ton WLL (standard industrial rating). The proof load of 2.5 times the working load limit on the 4:1 design factor ensures reliable performance and provides verification of structural integrity.
Applications:
Ideal for creating lifting points on machinery, equipment, molds, dies, fixtures, jigs, structural components, and fabricated assemblies where multi-directional loading is expected. Perfect for manufacturing facilities, machine shops, fabrication operations, maintenance departments, and any application requiring secure, adjustable lifting points that accommodate loads from varying angles. Commonly used for lifting heavy machinery, positioning equipment during assembly, moving molds and dies, rigging structural components, and creating temporary or permanent lifting attachments on custom fabrications.
Installation Note: Ensure tapped hole depth provides adequate thread engagement (minimum 1.5 times bolt diameter recommended). Thread should be clean and free of debris. Torque to manufacturer specifications. Verify workpiece material is suitable for the application and provides adequate thread strength.
Safety Note: Always inspect anchor points before use for wear, damage, or deformation. Ensure rotation and pivot action are smooth and unrestricted. Never exceed the working load limit for the selected safety factor. Verify secure thread engagement before lifting. Use only for lifting applications—not for side or angular pulls that exceed the rated capacity.
