Lifting Accessories

Lifting accessories are mechanical components designed for the secure fastening, connection, gripping, and lifting of loads, using cranes, hoists, or conveying systems.

They are used to create a temporary or permanent connection between the load and the lifting equipment – while maintaining safety, stability, and suitability for varying load conditions.

• Eye Bolt: A simple connection for loads – available according to DIN580 standard or as a swivel eye bolt for varying loads.
• Swivel Lifting Ring: A safety accessory allowing 360° rotation and work at various angles.
• Swivel Anchor Point: Designed for dynamic loads – common in the heavy equipment industry.
• Lifting Slings: Textile slings with loops, for lifting delicate loads or loads with soft surfaces.
• Lifting Magnet: A solution for lifting metallic raw materials – does not require a mechanical connection.
• Chain Slings (2 or 4 legs): Allow multi-point lifting, load balancing, and risk reduction.

• Load Weight: Choose an accessory according to the Working Load Limit (WLL) – never exceed the permitted limit.
• Load Shape: For delicate surfaces – prefer slings. For metals – magnets. For heavy loads – rings or chain slings.
• Lifting Angle: The wider the angle (above 45°), the stronger the accessory required.
• Movement or Rotation: Choose swivel accessories to prevent side loads and wear.
• Environmental Conditions: For outdoor work – ensure corrosion resistance standards (coating, material).

A lifting ring (Lifting Point) is used for temporary connection during lifting. It is designed for repeated removal and attachment.

An anchoring ring (Anchoring Point) is designed for permanent fastening to a structure or fixture – for example, at fixed anchoring points on floors, trucks, or molds.

• Ensure there are no cracks, deformities, or signs of wear.
• Ensure the load marking (WLL) is clear and legible.
• Check that the connection to the load is made at an appropriate angle and without side loads.

When using multi-point accessories (such as chains or slings), the angle between the legs has a direct impact on the load the accessory can bear.

• 0°–45°: Ideal – the load is well distributed, without dangerous side loads.
• 45°–60°: Permissible load decreases by approximately 30% – ensure the accessory is suitable.
• 60°–90°: Not recommended – the load on each leg is significantly higher than the lifted weight.

Recommendation: Use legs at the smallest possible angle, and consider using a swivel ring to reduce side loads.
