About Lifting with Hoist Rings

Fixed Weld-On Tie-Down Rings
Also known as pad eyes, these rigid rings provide a strong, fixed anchor point on machinery, equipment, and vehicles. Weld them to a surface for a more secure connection than other tie-down rings.
Style B and C rings are curved for mounting to pipe and other round surfaces.
316 stainless steel rings have excellent resistance to salt water and chemicals.
Warning: Never use for lifting applications.

Weld-On Tie-Down Rings
Weld these rings to a surface for a more secure connection than other tie-down rings. The ring pivots 180° to secure loads in various directions. They are also known as lashing rings.
Zinc-plated steel rings have mild corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel rings have excellent resistance to salt water and chemicals.
Warning: Never use for lifting applications.

Swiveling Weld-On Tie-Down Rings
Before welding, these rings swivel all the way around to accommodate ties in any direction. Weld them to any surface for a more secure connection than other tie-down rings.
Style B rings are angled, making it easier to attach bulky ties and straps. They also protect ties and straps from abrasion to prevent them from wearing down over time.
Warning: Never use for lifting applications.
Weld-On Hooks—For Lifting
Weld these hooks into place to create a permanent lifting device. You’ll often see them welded onto excavators to turn them into lifting cranes. These hooks have a spring latch to ensure rope, chain, and fittings won't detach from the hook when the load slackens.
Note: Capacities are for vertical lifting only. Hooks must be welded properly to meet the listed capacity.

Weld-On Hoist Rings—For Lifting
For a more secure hold than standard hoist rings, weld these hoist rings to your load. They’re ideal for angular lifting because they withstand stresses that bend or break eyebolts.
The ring on 180° pivot hoist rings moves from front to back. Their base does not swivel for added stability.
180° pivot and 360° swivel hoist rings not only have a ring that moves from front to back, but their base also swivels to handle pitch, roll, and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads.
Black-oxide steel hoist rings have mild corrosion resistance.
Note: Hoist rings must be welded properly for the listed capacities to apply.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Medium Duty Hammer-Close Connecting Links—Not for Lifting
Drive the end through the eye using a ball peen hammer and then weld or flatten the extended end to close. Also known as cold shuts, these links are an economical option to join chain links and attach fittings. They must be completely closed to perform at capacity. Never reuse links after they've been closed.
Zinc-plated steel links are mildly corrosion resistant.

Drawbar Rings
These rings mount to a trailer and connect to the drawbar coupler or tow hook on a vehicle to create a towing connection. Maximum trailer weight is the total weight being towed. Vertical capacity (also known as tongue weight) represents the weight of the load on the drawbar ring.
Note: Capacity is reduced 25% in off-road use.
