Yoke Lifting Point (Load Ring) – Metric Thread – 300kg-20t WLL

Description

Yoke Swivel Lifting Point – High-Performance Metric Thread Lifting Eye

The Yoke Swivel Lifting Point with Metric Thread is a premium-grade lifting attachment designed to provide a safe, versatile, and highly reliable anchorage point for lifting, pulling, turning, and positioning loads. Manufactured from high-strength quenched and tempered alloy steel, this heavy-duty lifting point is engineered for demanding industrial lifting environments where load control, flexibility, and safety are critical.

Suitable for use across manufacturing, engineering, construction, offshore, transport, maintenance, fabrication, and heavy industry sectors, the Yoke swivel lifting point combines exceptional strength with full articulation. The lifting ring rotates through 360° and pivots through 90°, automatically aligning with the direction of pull to minimise side loading and improve lifting safety.

Available in Working Load Limits (WLL) from 300kg to 20 tonnes, the Yoke lifting point offers a dependable lifting solution for a wide range of applications, from machinery handling and equipment installation to structural fabrication and heavy load transportation.

Bespoke Load Alignment with 360° Rotation & 90° Pivot Action

Unlike traditional eye bolts, the Yoke swivel lifting point automatically adjusts to the direction of the applied load, significantly reducing stress concentrations and helping to maintain safe lifting geometry.

Key articulation benefits include:

360° continuous rotation under load
90° pivot movement for flexible load positioning
Reduced risk of side-loading damage
Improved lifting efficiency and load control
Suitable for lifting, turning, rotating, and positioning applications

This self-aligning design makes the lifting point particularly valuable where load directions may change during handling operations.

High-Strength Alloy Steel Construction

Manufactured from premium-grade alloy steel that is quenched and tempered for maximum strength and durability, the Yoke swivel lifting point is designed to withstand demanding industrial lifting cycles.

Construction features include:

High-strength forged alloy steel body
Quenched and tempered for enhanced toughness
Corrosion-resistant protective finish
Precision-machined components
Suitable for intensive industrial use

The robust design delivers excellent fatigue resistance and long-term reliability, even in challenging operating environments.

Safety & User Instructions
Always ensure the lifting point is installed into a correctly specified tapped hole.
Verify the thread engagement depth meets the manufacturer’s requirements.
Confirm the Working Load Limit is suitable for the intended load.
Inspect the lifting point, bolt, and seating surface before every use.
Ensure the lifting ring is free to align naturally with the direction of pull.
Avoid shock loading, impact loading, or sudden load movement.
Never exceed the stated Working Load Limit.
Replace immediately if signs of wear, deformation, cracking, or damage are present.
Only use as part of a properly planned and risk-assessed lifting operation.
Follow all applicable lifting regulations and safe rigging procedures.
