How to Use Lifting Points ?

Lifting points, also known as lifting or rigging points, are specialized hardware or attachments used in various industries to facilitate the safe and efficient lifting and rigging of heavy loads and equipment. These lifting points are designed to provide secure attachment points for lifting devices such as slings, chains, hooks, or other rigging hardware. They play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and stability of lifting operations.

Container Lifting Lug

These container lifting lugs are designed to fit into the side of the ISO corner boxes. Some are designed specifically for the side of the top corner box, some for the bottom corner box and others can be fitted in either. Their shape allows them to be fitted into the ISO corner box side slot. Once fitted they are usually attached to one leg of 2 leg sling. The lug is rotated in the ISO corner box to the angle of the sling and a spring loaded pin locks it in place,

Guidance on the methods used for removing surface rust from Grade 8 steel chains and components

The environment in which high tensile steel chains and components are commonly used will cause corrosion of the material. As a part of a good inspection/maintenance regime it is beneficial to remove this surface rust. However, it is important to ensure that the correct method is selected as some techniques can damage the equipment or reduce its life span. This guidance document identifies and provides guidance on some of the common de-rusting methods available on the market.

Proof Test of Alloy Chain Sling

Proof testing is a quality control test where a load is applied to a sling. For chain slings this is usually twice the working load limit or rated load. This is done to assure that each and every part of that sling is more than capable of performing at the working load limit before it is put into service.

Mechanical vs Welded Chain Sling Attachments

Mechanical vs. Welded Chain Sling Attachments The terms mechanical and welded refer to the end fittings, including hooks and rings, on either end of the chain and how they are attached. Mechanical chain sling attachments are connected to a welded chain and held in place by pins. Mechanical components can be removed and interchanged with other hooks and lifting devices, if necessary. Welded chain sling attachments are connections that are welded to both sides of the chain, and then heat treated

Eye Self Locking Hook

An eye self-locking hook is a type of hook used for lifting and rigging heavy loads. It is designed with a self-locking mechanism that helps to prevent accidental disconnection of the load. The hook has a latch or locking mechanism that must be manually opened to insert or remove the load, and then closes automatically to secure the load in place.
