Hoist Rings vs. Eyebolts – When safety must come first, which would you choose?    En Español 
Hardware purchase choices often come down to a matter of price-per-unit.
But price-per-unit doesn’t cover the full cost when you’re talking about lifting and moving heavy loads valued at thousands of dollars.
Safety hoist rings – meeting both OSHA and U.S. military standards – are the obvious right choice when the safety of your equipment and your staff is at risk.
Unlike eyebolts, unique, patented hoist rings:
  • Swivel 360 degrees
  • Pivot 180 degrees
  • Compensate for shifting and swaying loads
  • Help prevent costly accidents and injuries
Hoist rings do a better job of distributing side loads to the ring base and screw and thereby retain their full, rated load capacity, regardless of lift angle. Similar side loads on a conventional eyebolt concentrate shear stress on the thin screw shaft, increasing the chances of twisting, bending and breaking.
Heavy-Duty Safety Hoist Ring
Maintains 100% Load Capacity at any angle
Conventional Eyebolt
Looses 70% Load Capacity at 45° angle
If your company is concerned about:
  • Increasing on-the-job safety
  • Complying with OSHA standards
  • Protecting its substantial capital investments
Then safety hoist rings are the right choice the next time you need to lift or move a heavy load.
