Yoke Key Eye Anchor Point – UNC Thread -1t-32t WLL

Description

The Yoke Key Eye Anchor Point – UNC Thread is a premium industrial lifting point designed to provide a secure and reliable attachment solution for machinery, fabrications, equipment and heavy industrial applications where UNC threaded mounting is required.

Engineered for demanding lifting environments, the Key Eye Anchor Point features a rotating lifting eye that provides continuous 360° movement, allowing the eye to naturally align with the direction of pull. This reduces unwanted side loading forces, improves load positioning and enhances safety during lifting operations.

Manufactured from forged alloy steel and quenched and tempered for maximum strength and durability, each anchor point delivers dependable performance in critical lifting applications.

Available with UNC threaded mounting options from 5/16 UNC to 2 UNC, and working load limits from 660kg up to 12 tonnes, the Yoke Key Eye Anchor Point provides a versatile lifting solution for machinery manufacturers, engineers, fabricators and maintenance professionals.

Each lifting point undergoes rigorous quality control, including 100% Magnaflux crack detection on all load-bearing components. Individual forged parts and cap screws are fully traceable to original test certification, supporting inspection procedures and lifting equipment management.

Full 360° Rotation for Flexible Lifting

The Yoke Key Eye Anchor Point features a rotating lifting eye designed to move through 360 degrees and adjust naturally in the direction of loading.

Advantages include:

Allows lifting from multiple directions
Reduces twisting forces
Minimises side loading
Improves load stability
Enhances operator safety
Provides greater flexibility during lifting operations

The articulated design makes this lifting point particularly suitable for applications where load direction changes during movement or installation.

High-Strength Forged Alloy Steel Construction

Manufactured from high-quality forged alloy steel, every Key Eye Anchor Point is quenched and tempered to achieve outstanding strength, toughness and durability.

Manufacturing quality features include:

Forged alloy steel construction
Heat treated for maximum strength
100% Magnaflux crack detection on load-rated parts
Fully traceable forged components
Individually traceable cap screw
Certification available for inspection records
Durable YOKE protective finish

These features ensure reliable operation in demanding industrial lifting environments.

Tested for Safety and Reliability

Each Yoke Key Eye Anchor Point is manufactured and tested to provide confidence during critical lifting applications.

Testing includes:

Proof tested to 2.5 x Working Load Limit
Fatigue rated to 20,000 cycles at 1.5 x Working Load Limit
Tested in accordance with EN 1677-1
Certified by DGUV GS-OA 15-04
Designed to meet or exceed ASME B30.26 requirements

The combination of testing, certification and traceability ensures dependable performance for professional lifting operations.

Simple UNC Thread Installation

The Yoke Key Eye Anchor Point – UNC Thread has been designed for quick and simple installation.

Only a correctly specified UNC tapped hole is required, allowing the lifting point to be securely fitted using the recommended tightening torque.
