Weld-On Hoist Rings & Lifting Points

Why choose weld-on lifting points?

When a part has no room for a tapped hole, or you need a lifting point that stays on the load for its whole service life, weld-on hoist rings are the answer. The weld base is welded directly to the steel load while the ring swivels and pivots to align with the sling.

Weld-on lifting points are common on fabricated frames, skids, tooling, containers, attachments and heavy equipment that is lifted again and again.

Bolt-on or weld-on?

Bolt-on swivel hoist rings can be removed and reused across many loads. Weld-on rings are permanent, need no drilling or tapping, and avoid the risk of a lost or wrong bolt.

Weld-on hoist ring safety

• Welding should be done by a qualified welder following the manufacturer's weld procedure and filler material.
• Weld only to a base material strong enough to carry the rated load.
• Place lifting points so the load stays balanced and the ring can pivot freely toward the sling.
• Inspect welds and the ring before every lift and remove from service if cracked or deformed.
• Never exceed the rated load stamped on the hoist ring.
