Yoke Hoist Ring Anchor Point – Metric Thread – 500kg-16.9t WLL

Description

The Yoke Hoist Ring Anchor Point – Metric Thread is a premium articulated lifting point engineered to provide a secure and reliable lifting attachment for machinery, heavy equipment, fabrications and industrial applications requiring a metric threaded mounting point.

Designed for demanding lifting environments, the patented Yoke Hoist Ring combines continuous 360° rotation with a 180° pivoting lifting ring, allowing the lifting eye to automatically align with the direction of pull. This significantly reduces harmful side loading, improves lifting efficiency and increases operator safety when handling heavy loads.

Manufactured from premium forged alloy steel and quenched and tempered for exceptional strength, every hoist ring is built to deliver long service life under demanding industrial conditions.

Available in metric thread sizes from M8 through to M48, with Working Load Limits ranging from 500kg to 16.9 tonnes, the Yoke Hoist Ring Anchor Point is suitable for permanent or temporary lifting points on machinery, tooling, steel fabrications, heavy plant and OEM equipment.

Each lifting point undergoes comprehensive quality control including 100% Magnaflux crack detection of all load-rated components. Individual forged parts and cap screws are fully traceable to original test certification, providing complete confidence for inspection and asset management.

Patented 360° Rotation and 180° Pivot

The patented Yoke Hoist Ring has been engineered to provide unrestricted lifting flexibility.

The lifting ring:

Rotates continuously through 360°
Pivots through 180°
Automatically aligns with the direction of pull
Allows lifting from virtually any direction
Reduces side loading forces
Improves load stability
Minimises twisting during lifting
Enhances operator safety

Unlike conventional eye bolts, the articulated hoist ring continuously adjusts throughout the lift, making it ideal for complex lifting operations where load orientation changes.

High-Strength Forged Alloy Steel Construction

Every Yoke Hoist Ring Anchor Point is manufactured from premium forged alloy steel before being quenched and tempered to achieve maximum mechanical strength.

Quality assurance includes:

Forged alloy steel construction
Quenched and tempered heat treatment
100% Magnaflux crack detection on load-bearing components
Individually traceable forged parts
Fully traceable cap screw
Corrosion-resistant protective finish
Test certification available

This combination of premium materials and rigorous manufacturing provides exceptional durability for demanding industrial lifting applications.

Tested for Safety and Performance

Each Yoke Hoist Ring undergoes extensive testing before leaving the factory.

Testing includes:

Proof load tested to 2.5 x Working Load Limit
Fatigue tested to 20,000 cycles at 1.5 x WLL
Manufactured and tested to EN 1677-1

Safety & User Instructions
Install only into a correctly specified metric threaded hole.
Tighten the fixing bolt to the recommended installation torque.
Ensure the mounting material is capable of supporting the applied load.
Always allow the hoist ring to rotate and pivot freely in the direction of pull.
Never restrict movement of the articulated lifting ring.
Never exceed the stated Working Load Limit.
Inspect the lifting point before every use for wear, damage, corrosion or deformation.
Remove from service immediately if any damage is identified.
Installation and inspection should only be carried out by competent personnel.
Use only for overhead lifting applications within the rated capacity.
