FAQ

Lifting points are specific connection between heavy load and lifting tools, which secured a safe lifting operations. There are many options available, like screw eye bolts, weld on ring, swivel load ring, etc. you can choose a right one based on your exact application.
The lifting points can be attached on hooks, wire ropes, chain slings to withstand the force generated during lifting and avoid heavy objects loose accidents.
RUBY lifting points are specially developed for heavy lifting tasks. They meet strict quality standards and facilitate safe and reliable lifting jobs.

Lifting points must be clearly marked with: 
Working Load Limit (WLL): The max. weight the lifting point can safely handle during usage.
Certification or CE/UKCA marking: To indicate compliance with relevant standards.

Lifting points have various types, each designed to meet safety and efficiency demands in many industries for lifting and moving heavy objects. Below are some most common types:
1)Swivel lifting points: Swivel lifting points can rotate 360 degrees, having a greater flexibility and adjust the load's angle during lifting, preventing twisting or stress on the equipment. They are widely used in applications where the load needs to be rotated or turned during lifting.
2)Hoist Rings: Hoist rings are special lifting points can offer a variety directions during heavy loads lifting. They are pivot equipment that support the load to be lifted from multiple angles safety and stability.
3)Eye Bolts/Screws: Eye bolts are a type of lifting point that features threaded bolts with a loop (eye) at the end. Welded onto a surface or screwed into a threaded hole to be a safety attachment point for lifting equipment.
4)Weld-on lifting points: Weld-on lifting points are designed to be welded onto a structure to become a strong and durable attachment point during lifting and moving heavy objects. They are normally used in an industry where need a permanent lifting point.
5)Lashing points: Lashing points create a secure attachment point between loads and straps or binder chains during lifting and transport. They are normally used in cargo and shipping jobs to secure transportation.

We provide detailed sizing charts and consultation tools on our website to help you decide the right type/size for your specific requirements. Also, if you need any further assistance, just feel free to contact us directly and we are willing to try our best to help you.
Our sales team will suggest specific size/capacity and how to use lifting points correctly based on their long experience. And RUBY never stop upgrading our products to let our customers' lifting operations become easier and safer.

1)Crucial For Load Distribution
Lifting points are designed to distribute the load evenly, preventing swinging, tilting, or collapse during lifting. It avoids the object damage and the risks caused by unstable lifting.
2)Reduce Strain on Equipment
Correctly placed lifting points align with the load's gravity centre, reducing stress on lifting tools. This extends the lifting tools' lifespan and minimizes the possibility of equipment failure.
3)Simplify Handling
Lifting points let operators position and secure loads easier. This precision is crucial for heavy objects, preventing misalignment that could cause damage or injury.

We offer full customization based on customer requirements, including markings, colors, logos, bolt coating processes, and appearance. We can also design drawings tailored to specific needs.
