Product Information

Full details

This guide is for professionals in the lifting gear industry who require a permanent and robust lifting point. The key benefit is a secure and certified lifting solution with a 1-ton safe working load. A crucial caveat is that the safe working load is dependent on a correct welding procedure performed by a qualified individual. This product is a high-quality, Grade 80 steel lifting point designed to be welded onto equipment where a permanent lifting solution is needed.

FAQs

What does 'Grade 80' mean for this lifting point?

Grade 80 refers to a specific category of high-strength steel alloys used in overhead lifting applications. It indicates a higher tensile strength and superior performance under load compared to standard steels.

How do I ensure the 1-ton Safe Working Load is achieved?

The 1-ton SWL is contingent upon a correct welding procedure executed by a qualified welder. Proper preheating, complete weld penetration, and adherence to recognized welding standards are critical.

Can I use this lifting point for dynamic loading?

While designed for lifting, dynamic loading (sudden jerks or shocks) can significantly exceed the rated SWL. Always aim for smooth, controlled lifting. Consult specific engineering guidelines for dynamic load applications.

What is the purpose of the 'Factor of Safety 4:1'?

A Factor of Safety of 4:1 means the lifting point is designed to withstand at least four times its rated Safe Working Load (4 tonnes in this case) before structural failure. This provides a significant margin for safety under normal operating conditions.

Will a test certificate always be provided?

Yes, a test certificate will be supplied via email. This document verifies the product's specifications and compliance with relevant standards.

What are the dimensions of the lifting point?

The key dimensions are A: 28.5MM, B: 35MM, C: 40MM, D: 38MM, E: 13MM, F: 77.5MM.

Can this lifting point be used in corrosive environments?

While made of steel, it is not inherently corrosion-proof. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended, especially in harsh or marine environments. Consider protective coatings if necessary, provided they do not compromise the weld or load capacity.

Troubleshooting

Lifting point appears loose after welding

The weld may be insufficient. Inspect the weld quality. If necessary, a qualified welder should re-weld or reinforce the connection, ensuring proper preheating and penetration.

Visible rust or corrosion on the lifting point

Clean the affected area gently with a non-abrasive cloth. If corrosion is deep or compromises the material, the lifting point should be replaced. Ensure proper storage and handling.

Uncertainty about welding procedure effectiveness

Consult a certified welding inspector or a qualified welding engineer to review the welding process and the resulting connection's integrity before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength Grade 80 steel construction for durability.
  • Certified to BS EN 1677 standards for reliable safety.
  • Permanent and secure lifting point when correctly welded.
  • Includes a test certificate for compliance verification.
  • Suitable for a wide range of industrial lifting applications.

Cons

  • Safe Working Load is entirely dependent on correct welding procedure.
  • Requires installation by a qualified welder to ensure safety.
  • Yellow finish may vary, affecting visual consistency.
  • Not suitable for applications where a temporary lifting point is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface where the lifting point will be attached is clean, free of rust, paint, and grease.
  2. Position the lifting point correctly on the intended surface.
  3. Welding must be performed by a qualified welder experienced in lifting equipment.
  4. Follow general welding rules: always preheat the material before welding and avoid tack welding or short, thin runs.
  5. Allow the weld to cool completely before applying any load.

Compatibility: This lifting point is designed for Grade 80 steel applications. It is compatible with lifting chains and slings that meet relevant safety standards and have appropriate working load limits.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the lifting point and surrounding weld for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
  • Clean the lifting point with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
