Swivel Hoist Ring

Also known as a center-pull hoist ring, a swivel hoist ring is the most common type of hoist ring.

Used in the same manner as shoulder pattern eye bolts to facilitate connecting hooks and chains to a workpiece, swivel hoist rings can both pivot 180 degrees and swivel 360 degrees.

The bail, usually a U-bar, is connected through the center of the body with a pin in a clevis-like configuration.

Additionally, a swivel hoist ring can rotate to the direction of force using its swivel bushing—while the swivel action allows the recommended working load limit to be maintained regardless of the lifting angle.
