Yoke Lifting Point (Load Ring) – UNC Thread – 1t-8t WLL

Description

Yoke Swivel Load Ring (UNC Thread) – High-Strength Adjustable Lifting Point

The Yoke Swivel Load Ring with UNC Thread is a high-performance, precision-engineered lifting point designed for safe, reliable, and flexible load handling in demanding industrial environments. Manufactured from quenched and tempered alloy steel, this premium lifting component provides exceptional strength, durability, and fatigue resistance for repeated heavy-duty use.

Designed for lifting, pulling, positioning, and securing loads, the load ring rotates through 360° and pivots through 90°, automatically aligning with the direction of force. This significantly reduces side loading, improves operational safety, and enhances control during complex lifting operations.

Available in Working Load Limits (WLL) from 1 tonne to 8 tonnes, the Yoke load ring is suitable for a wide range of applications across construction, engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, offshore, and maintenance industries.

360° Rotation & 90° Pivot for Maximum Load Flexibility

The integrated swivel and pivot design ensures the load ring naturally aligns with the lifting direction, even under dynamic conditions. This helps reduce stress on both the lifting point and the structure it is mounted to.

Key articulation benefits include:

Full 360° rotation under load
90° pivot movement for directional flexibility
Reduced side loading forces
Improved load stability and control
Safer lifting in angled or multi-directional applications

This makes it particularly suitable for lifting points where load direction frequently changes.

High-Strength Alloy Steel Construction

Manufactured from high-grade quenched and tempered alloy steel, the Yoke load ring is built for strength, reliability, and long service life in harsh environments.

Key construction features include:

Forged alloy steel body for maximum durability
Quenched and tempered for enhanced toughness
Corrosion-resistant protective finish
Precision-machined components for consistent performance
Designed for repeated heavy-duty lifting cycles

This robust construction ensures dependable performance even under demanding industrial conditions.

Certified Safety, Testing & Full Traceability

Every Yoke load ring undergoes rigorous testing and inspection to ensure compliance with international lifting standards and maximum operational safety.

Quality and certification features include:

Tested in accordance with EN 1677-1
Certified to DGUV GS-HM-36 standards
Proof tested to 2.5 × Working Load Limit
Fatigue rated to 20,000 cycles at 1.5 × WLL
Load-rated components 100% Magnaflux crack detected
Individual forged parts fully traceable to certification
Cap screw traceable to test documentation
Meets or exceeds ASME B30.26 requirements

This ensures complete confidence in safety, performance, and compliance.

UNC Thread Fixing for Secure Installation

The UNC threaded design allows secure and reliable installation into tapped holes, making it suitable for both permanent and semi-permanent lifting points.

Installation advantages include:

Standard UNC thread compatibility
Quick and simple installation process
Requires only a correctly sized tapped hole
Suitable for machinery, structural steel, and fabricated assemblies
Secure anchorage for lifting and load securing applications

This makes it ideal for OEM installations, maintenance work, and engineered lifting points.

Typical Applications

The Yoke UNC Swivel Load Ring is widely used across multiple industries, including:

Machinery lifting and installation
Structural steel fabrication
Heavy engineering and manufacturing
Construction and infrastructure projects
Offshore and marine operations
Equipment maintenance and servicing
Load securing and pulling applications
Industrial rigging systems

Its swivel and pivot functionality makes it especially effective where load direction is variable or unpredictable.

Safety & User Instructions
Ensure the load ring is installed into a correctly sized and specified tapped hole.
Verify full thread engagement before applying any load.
Confirm the Working Load Limit is suitable for the intended application.
Inspect the load ring, bolt, and mounting surface before each use.
Ensure the ring can freely rotate and pivot under load.
Do not apply side loading beyond design parameters.
Avoid shock loading or sudden impact forces.
Do not exceed the stated Working Load Limit under any circumstances.
Remove from service if any signs of wear, deformation, or cracking are present.
Always follow approved lifting plans and relevant safety regulations.
