When selecting the ideal lifting solution for your company you will be more concerned about selecting the ideal crane or the perfect hoist for you. But the little details are just as important, and that’s why we offer a full range of Lifting Equipment Accessories.
You shouldn’t have worry about whether you can source a lifting chain that is compatible with your electric chain hoist. Or if you need to carry out minor repairs you need a place to buy replacement shackles and eye bolts that you know are top quality. That’s why you should talk to us. Accessories for your Lifting Gear The accessories that we stock includes: Shackles A small but important Lifting Equipment Accessory. Shackles are used in industrial crane rigging and come in many different varieties – the most commonly used are the D shackle and bow or anchor shackle. D Shackles are D shaped pieces of metal fixed with a pin (screw pins or bolt and nut pins are commonly used). The Anchor Shackle has a bigger, rounder loop of metal. Both are suitable for many different types of winching and pulling and are available in many different load capacities. The main difference is that the shape of the anchor shackle allows it to take loads from different directions. The D shackle on the other hand is best used when loads are in line. Eye bolts A loop of metal with threads on one end, sometimes with a collar. These Lifting Equipment Accessories are sometimes known as lifting eyes, and are commonly used for anchoring and towing.
Like shackles, eyebolts come in a variety of types, which are suitable for different applications. The dynamo eyebolt is perfect for lifting axial loads, but should never be used for angular lifting. Lifting eyes with collars are more suitable for general lifting and can be used when lifting loads at an angle. Lifting Chains or Chain Slings Lifting Chains are an alternative to webbing slings, which can be better for handling fragile loads. Chain slings are generally capable of lifting greater loads than webbing slings and are suitable for use in heavy-duty industrial settings. Stainless steel chain slings can be used when hygiene or corrosion are an issue, for example in the food preparation industry or in water treatment plants. When used with an electric chain hoist, lifting chains provide true vertical lift. This makes this accessory ideal in settings where precise placement and loading is needed. This is just a small sample of the Lifting Equipment Accessories we can provide, which also includes hooks, blocks and clamps.
