Today, we’re diving into the world of LFT Swivel Hoist Rings, which are renowned for their impressive features such as high visibility, a reinforced bail with added width, and a corrosion-resistant coating. In this post, we’ll explore the premium qualities of these hoist rings and provide guidance on selecting and operating them safely and effectively.

Key Features of LFT Swivel Hoist Rings

Let’s take a closer look at what sets LFT swivel hoist rings apart from others in the market.

Every component of LFT Swivel Hoist Rings undergoes rigorous testing using the Resonant Acoustic Method to ensure durability and reliability. They come with a tough powder-coated finish over a GEOMET coating, providing superior corrosion resistance that surpasses traditional hot-dip galvanization. Each hoist ring is uniquely marked with a serial number, load rating, torque specification, and part number. Additionally, they are manufactured in the USA and feature an oversized forged alloy steel bail that is individually load-tested to 200% of its rated working load limit.

Selecting the Right LFT Swivel Hoist Ring

Before purchasing, it’s essential to verify the thread diameter, pitch, and depth of the object you plan to lift. LFT Swivel Hoist Rings are available in thread diameters ranging from ¼” to 2”, with thread lengths from ½” to 2 ½”. They also come in both fine and coarse thread options.

Additionally, consider the number of hoist rings you’ll need and the required working load limit. These swivel hoist rings boast a 5:1 design factor and are available in working load limits from 550 to 30,000 pounds. Lastly, double-check the lifting assembly connections to ensure they fit comfortably within the bail opening.

Installation and Operation of LFT Swivel Hoist Rings

Proper installation and operation of LFT Swivel Hoist Rings are crucial, as incorrect practices can compromise safety and lead to failed lifts.

To begin installation, ensure the surface where the hoist ring will be attached is flat, smooth, and strong enough to handle the load. Full bushing contact with the surface is critical for optimal compression at the recommended torque.

Next, make sure the threads are clean and dry. The recommended torque values assume non-lubricated, debris-free threads.

With the surface ready, lay the bail flat and start threading the torque bolt by hand until it feels snug.

Use a torque wrench and consult the recommended torque value to determine the appropriate force per foot for the specific hoist ring. This value can typically be found on the hoist ring itself and in the product specifications online. Begin tightening carefully until the torque wrench indicates the desired level of force.

After installation, always confirm that the ring moves freely in all directions. You’re now ready to attach and lift your object using the LFT Swivel Hoist Rings.

Operational Guidelines for LFT Swivel Hoist Rings

Following these guidelines ensures a safe and efficient lifting process when using LFT Swivel Hoist Rings.

Before lifting, thoroughly review our installation and use guide. After applying the lifting assembly to the hoist ring, apply force gradually. Ensure the bail aligns with the load direction and avoid any twists in the rigging system. Have spotters monitor the situation and be prepared to halt operations if the load begins to buckle.

When attaching slings, never “reeve” or feed them from one hoist ring to another. If lifting an object from a side-mounted position with the rings at a 180-degree angle, use a spreader bar to prevent the rings from binding against the object’s edges.

The material being lifted should have a tensile strength of at least 80,000 PSI for full load capacity. For materials with lower tensile strength, increase thread length or use a through-hole with a nut and washer on the opposite side.

Avoid using additional washers or spacers between the bushing and the object’s surface. The pre-installed washer on the LFT Swivel Hoist Ring is specifically designed to function optimally at its rated working load limit.
