The Austlift swivel lifting point eye bolt is zinc nickle plated to better protect it against corrosion, it has with stand more than 500 hours of salt spray testing vs decromat coating of 400 hours.

Swivel lifting points are versatile and essential components used in various lifting and rigging operations across Australia. Here's an overview of their uses and key features:

Applications

•   Swivel lifting points are widely used in:
•   Manufacturing industries
•   Construction projects
•   Concrete and precast industries
•   Automotive sector
•   Mining operations
•   Oil and gas industry
•   Power and utilities
•   Transportation and logistics
•   Entertainment industry (e.g., stage rigging)

Key Features and Benefits

360° Swivel and 90° Pivot

Swivel lifting points offer full 360-degree rotation and 90-degree pivot functionality. This allows for multidirectional lifting without compromising load integrity. making them ideal for handling loads that need to be rotated or positioned precisely

Versatility

These lifting points can be used in various lifting and lashing applications, adapting to different load requirements and rigging setups

Safety Enhancement

The swivel design prevents twisting and binding of slings, significantly reducing the risk of accidents during lifting operations

High Load Capacity

Swivel lifting points are typically rated for higher loads compared to traditional eyebolts, making them suitable for heavy lifting applications. They are available in various working load limits, ranging from 0.3 to 20 tonnes

Durability and Reliability

Manufactured from high-strength materials like forged alloy steel, these lifting points undergo rigorous testing, including proof testing, break testing, and magnaflux crack detection, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability

Advantages Over Traditional Eyebolts

•   Holds the same workload in all lilting and
•   Internal retention spring allows litting eye to be put in pre-load positions

Advantages Over Traditional Eyebolts

•   Holds the same workload in all lifting angles and directions
•   Internal retention spring allows lifting eye to be put in pre-load positions
•   Self-aligns as the load is applied to prevent twisting and binding
•   Higher load capacities over standard-rated eyebolts
•   Long factory full thread bolt to allow for custom lengths of thread when needed
•   Black nickel plated bolt to strengthen the fight against corrosion

Best Practices

To ensure safe and effective use of swivel lifting points:

•   Conduct regular inspections for wear, corros n, or damage
•   Ensure proper installation according to manufacturer guidelines
•   Perform load testing and comply with industry standards
•   Consider environmental factors when selecting lifting points
•   Consult with rigging experts for complex lifting scenarios

In conclusion, swivel lifting points are crucial components in Australian lifting and rigging operations, offering enhanced safety, versatility, and efficiency across
