Hoist rings come in a variety of configurations, each designed to meet specific lifting, rigging, and safety requirements. Selecting the right type depends on factors such as load orientation, available mounting space, lifting direction, and motion control. Carr Lane Mfg. offers a broad selection of hoist rings that combine rugged performance with industry-leading safety standards, including a minimum 5:1 safety factor and compliance with ASTM B30.26 guidelines.
Low-Profile Standard Hoist Rings: These compact and efficient lifting solutions attach directly to a mounting surface with socket-head cap screws. The low-profile design makes them ideal for tight environments where vertical or lateral clearance is limited. These hoist rings offer secure, static lifting points and are often used in fixture plates, dies, and mold applications where traditional lifting hardware may be too bulky.
Pivoting Hoisting Rings: These economical, low-profile devices offer a 180° range of motion and have a high load capacity, allowing the lifting point to pivot along a single axis. These economical and durable hoist rings are well-suited for vertical lifting applications where a rotating action is not necessary. They are commonly used in machining centers, mold handling, and vertical assembly movements, where loads are lifted straight up and down.
Side-Pull Hoist Rings: Side-pull hoist rings are specifically engineered for applications where the lifting point is located on the side of a workpiece rather than the top. They’re ideal for situations where overhead access is restricted or unavailable. Designed with the ability to pivot and swivel, side-pull hoist rings help maintain proper alignment of the lifting force, which is critical to avoid unsafe side loading conditions.
Swivel Hoist Rings: Capable of a 180° pivot and 360° rotation, swivel hoist rings offer maximum versatility and allow operators to lift a load from virtually any direction while the ring maintains alignment with the lifting force. Swivel rings are particularly valuable when handling unbalanced, angular, or shifting loads, as they can absorb pitch, roll, and sway, reducing strain on the rigging equipment and improving operator safety.
