Yoke Anchor Point – UNC Thread – 800kg-16t WLL

Description

Yoke Premium Anchor Point UNC Thread

The Yoke UNC Thread Anchor Point is a premium heavy-duty lifting point designed to provide safe, reliable attachment for lifting and rigging operations where UNC threaded mounting is required. Engineered for demanding industrial environments, it combines full 360° rotation with a 180° pivoting lifting eye, allowing the load to align naturally with the direction of pull while significantly reducing side loading stresses.

Manufactured from forged alloy steel, then quenched and tempered for maximum strength and durability, each anchor point undergoes rigorous quality control including 100% Magnaflux crack detection on all load-bearing components. Individual forged parts and the supplied cap screw are fully traceable to their original test certification, providing complete confidence for inspection and asset management.

Available in working load limits from 800kg up to 16 tonnes, the Yoke UNC Anchor Point is suitable for permanent or temporary lifting points on machinery, fabrications, heavy equipment, mould tools, vehicles, steelwork and industrial plant.

Each lifting point is proof tested to 2.5 times its Working Load Limit (WLL) and fatigue rated to 20,000 cycles at 1.5 x WLL, offering exceptional long-term performance in repetitive lifting applications. Designed and tested to EN 1677-1, every anchor point also meets or exceeds the requirements of ASME B30.26.

Installation is quick and straightforward, requiring only a correctly sized UNC tapped hole and the recommended tightening torque.

Full 360° Rotation and 180° Pivot

The lifting eye is designed to rotate continuously through 360 degrees while simultaneously pivoting through 180 degrees.

This allows the lifting point to align naturally with the direction of pull, helping to:

Reduce twisting forces
Minimise side loading
Improve load stability
Allow lifting from virtually any direction
Increase operator safety

The articulated design makes the anchor point particularly suitable for multi-directional lifting where load orientation may change during handling.

High-Strength Forged Construction

Manufactured from premium forged alloy steel, every anchor point is quenched and tempered to achieve outstanding strength and durability.

Quality assurance includes:

Forged alloy steel construction
Heat treated for maximum strength
100% Magnaflux crack detection
Full traceability of forged components
Individually traceable cap screw
Corrosion-resistant finish

These manufacturing standards ensure dependable performance even under demanding industrial lifting conditions.

Tested for Safety and Reliability

Every Yoke UNC Anchor Point undergoes comprehensive testing before leaving the factory.

Testing includes:

Proof load tested to 2.5 x WLL
Fatigue tested to 20,000 cycles at 1.5 x WLL
Manufactured and tested to EN 1677-1
Meets or exceeds ASME B30.26

These rigorous testing procedures provide confidence for critical lifting operations across multiple industries.

Safety & User Instructions
Ensure the anchor point is installed into a correctly specified UNC threaded hole.
Tighten the fixing bolt to the recommended installation torque.
Always allow the lifting eye to align naturally with the direction of pull.
Never exceed the stated Working Load Limit.
Inspect the lifting point before each use for wear, damage, deformation or corrosion.
Ensure the mounting surface is capable of supporting the applied load.
Replace damaged or worn components immediately.
Only use the lifting point for overhead lifting applications within its rated capacity.
Installation and inspection should be carried out by competent personnel in accordance with relevant lifting regulations.
