Weld On Lifting Points
WHAT IS A WELD-ON LIFTING POINT?
A weld-on lifting point – sometimes referred to as a weld-on lifting lug or lifting eye – is a type of attachment that is welded onto a structure or other piece of equipment to provide a secure point for lifting with a crane, hoist, or other device.
Most commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and transportation, weld-on lifting points typically consist of a sturdy metal loop/eye that is specifically designed to withstand the forces associated with lifting heavy loads. The attachment is welded onto a flat surface to create a fixed point from which lifting can take place.
Available in various shapes and sizes to suit different applications, weld-on lifting lugs are conventionally manufactured from heavy-duty material such a carbon steel or alloy steel, providing them with suitable strength and durability to handle a wide range of industrial environments and harsh conditions.
FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS
We recommend that you follow proper welding procedures and ensure that the welding process is performed only by qualified personnel in order to guarantee optimal strength and integrity of your chosen weld-on lifting eye.
Furthermore, the design and safe working capacity of the chosen lifting point should be seriously considered prior to purchase, and should also comply with relevant safety standards and regulations to ensure safe lifting operations.
