With the Swivel Lifting Eye, precast concrete units can be safely lifted utilising lifting points in their sides. Units can also be safely tilted from the horizontal to the vertical plane and vice versa. The pressure plate with its large cross s ectional area generates an even distribution of pressure over a large surface area of concrete.
The Swivel Lifting Eye‘s special swivelling component automatically adapts to the direction of the inclined lifting forces. The safe working load of the Swivel Lifting Eye is valid for lifts along the axis of the thread through to lifts perpendicular to its axis.
The Swivel Lifting Eye is specifically designed for inclined lifting operations of angles up to 90 degrees, for instance when tilting up units or lifting from the sides. Unlike more conventional lifting loops the swivelling component safely allows for any correction in the sling angle without tightening or loosening of thread inside the socket. In more conventional lifting loops this correction in the sling angle can lead to loops not being threaded into the socket correctly as they unwind to correct the angle.
