Eickhoff 3D-Lifting ring

For safe lifting, pulling or other handling of heavy loads it is necessary to provide suitable attachment points for objects that cannot be handled or transported manually (EN DIN 31000). These requirements are neither met by eyebolts (DIN 580) nor by eye nuts (DIN 582), which are therefore not acceptable as attachment points.

The galvanized 3D lifting rings of H8 chain quality developed by Eickhoff (6 versions with load capacities from 1000 to 8000 kg) meets the requirements of DIN standards 5687, 5688 and the German mining industry standard RAG 726470. The lifting rings can be screwed into blind bores or together with additional hex nuts (minimum grade 12) can be used with through bores.

Each attachment point carries the load with a safety factor of 4 against breakage in all permissible load directions. It can rotate (360°) and swivel (180°) for automatic adoption to the direction of pull.

The lifting rings have been fully tested by the German mining industry. Two lifting rings were installed underground for 379 days, exposed to mine water and air at a temperature of approximately 31°C. Acceptance certificates were awarded from RAG and Westfalische Berggewerkschaftskasse (DMT) that underline the versatile applications of the lifting rings as attachment points for transportation, assembly, disassembly and also during the manufacture of large heavy parts.

Patent protection was granted under No. DE-PS 3204930.
