A crane, rope, or chain may be required when something needs lifting, as well as anchoring points on the load. JW Winco, a standard parts specialist, offers a wide range of solutions to fasten such loads safely and securely.
The classic and simplest lifting points are lifting eye bolts. When a female threaded hole is present, consider the DIN 580, and when a male threaded stud is present, the DIN 582 is ideal. JW Winco offers these standard parts in steel and stainless steel. The company also offers advanced lifting points that are optimized for specific materials that are stronger and often much easier to handle.
Additionally, its integrated RFID tags make it possible to clearly identify specific lifting points during wear and safety inspections and manage them digitally and without system interruption. Such RFID tags can be found in the lifting eye bolt GN 581 and the lifting eye nut GN 583, which can rotate around their vertical axis even after installation. These options also identify load rings GN 586.1, although the lifting eye can be folded down.
Load rings GN 5860 offer an eye ring with a ball bearing, making them fully rotatable even under load. Load rings GN 587.1 are not screwed in but welded on. This load ring is also suitable for outdoor applications since the design of the weld-on block permits a closed seam that’s safe from corrosion. The ring can swivel 180 degrees and an optionally integrated spring can secure it in any position.
The lifting point GN 589 for welding can accept loads from any direction and impresses with its minimal height. This is an essential feature when the maximum hook height of the lifting equipment is limited. A practical alternative to threaded or welded solutions is the mounting bolt solution — for devices or tools that change position frequently and quickly.
GN 1130 operates according to the lifting pin principle with axial locking and a release button. The new threaded lifting pin GN 1133 eliminates the time-consuming process of screwing into and out of the thread on the load. Rather than balls, this part uses threaded segments that are retracted and extended at the push of a button to create a positive connection. The integrated shackle, which rotates 180 degrees, connects to the lifting gear.
Speaking of shackles, those are also found in JW Winco’s product range. The shackles GN 585 are based on the US standard RR-C-271 and feature a significantly higher load capacity than the DIN version.
