Codipro Hoist Rings
A hoist ring is a threaded lifting attachment that pivots and rotates, and Codipro makes some of the most specified swivel hoist rings in the European precision lifting market. The Codipro hoist ring threads into the load like an eye bolt, but the bale swings 180° and rotates 360° under load so the hook or shackle above it can approach from any angle and the connection self-aligns. On machines with fixed mounting patterns, that self-alignment is what makes the difference between a clean lift and a loaded contact point.
About Codipro Hoist Rings
Hoist rings combine the threaded mounting of an eye bolt with a pivoting, rotating bale that eliminates the fixed-axis loading problem of conventional eye bolts. The bale can swing to meet the rigging angle rather than requiring the rigging to align with a fixed point. In precision lifting, machinery installation, mold handling, turbine work, this flexibility is why hoist rings are the preferred attachment over shoulder eye bolts in applications where load geometry is fixed.
Codipro hoist rings are forged alloy steel, proof-tested at manufacture, and certified to EN 1677-1. DGUV certification provides independent technical verification. Every Codipro hoist ring ships with a proof test certificate and is marked with WLL and manufacturer identification per ASME B30.26 and EN 1677-1 requirements.
ASME B30.26 (Rigging Hardware) governs design, marking, and inspection for hoist rings in overhead lifting service in North America. Holloway Houston stocks Codipro hoist rings in Houston as the authorized North American distributor.
Types of Codipro Hoist Rings
Standard Swivel Hoist Rings
The standard Codipro swivel hoist ring has a forged bale on a swivel body that threads into a tapped hole. The bale rotates 360° and swings 180° under load. Thread options are metric and UNC. This configuration covers the majority of machinery, mold, and fabricated steel lifting applications where a fixed threaded mounting point is machined into the load.
Low-Profile Swivel Hoist Rings
Where clearance above the mounting surface is limited, in confined bays, stacked assemblies, or under overhead obstructions, the low-profile configuration keeps the bale height above the load surface to a minimum while maintaining full swivel function. The lower profile is machined into the body rather than reducing the WLL.
Side-Mount Hoist Rings
Side-mount configurations allow the hoist ring to thread into a vertical or angled surface rather than a top face. Common in mold and tooling applications where the lift point is on the side of the assembly rather than the top. Codipro side-mount rings carry the same swivel function as the standard configuration.

Why Codipro for Hoist Rings
Codipro's hoist ring line is a product of their specialization in swivel lifting hardware. The bale geometry, swivel bearing tolerances, and proof-test protocols are the product of that focus, not an adaptation of general rigging hardware.
For North American buyers, the EN 1677-1 and DGUV credentials mean Codipro hoist rings integrate cleanly into projects where European-spec documentation is required, wind energy, offshore, aerospace joint ventures, and OEM machinery where the original equipment specifies European lifting hardware standards.
The through-thread mounting pattern means installation is repeatable and the lift point is precisely located, important in production lifting, mold shops, and precision assembly where the same load is lifted repeatedly from the same points.
Holloway Houston also offers rigging inspection services. Our qualified inspectors examine hoist rings, lifting points, and rigging hardware per ASME B30.26 and OSHA standards.

Codipro Hoist Ring Applications by Industry
- Heavy Machinery and Molds : Production lifting of injection molds, press tooling, and machine components where the lift point is machined into the load and the rigging angle changes between lifts.
- Wind Energy : Nacelle and drivetrain component handling where mounting patterns are fixed and rigging angles are dictated by the crane position and bay geometry.
- Aerospace and Defense : Precision component handling where proof test documentation, DGUV certification, and consistent WLL are part of the project specification.
- Offshore and Marine : Topside equipment and module lifts where EN 1677-1 rated hardware integrates with existing lifting procedures.
- Metal Fabrication and Structural Steel : Shop and field lifts where hoist rings are installed at fabrication and remain with the assembly through transport and placement.

Hoist Ring Safety and Awareness
Hoist rings in overhead lifting service fall under ASME B30.26 (Rigging Hardware), which covers design factors, marking requirements, and inspection intervals for rigging hardware. OSHA 1910.184 and OSHA 1926.251 apply to rigging hardware in general industry and jobsite use.
- Thread engagement depth is specified by the manufacturer. Codipro documentation defines minimum engagement for full rated capacity. Partial thread engagement reduces the effective WLL.
- ASME B30.26 specifies frequent inspection before or during each use, covering the bale for deformation or cracking, the swivel body for wear, and WLL marking legibility.
- Hoist rings are rated for angular loading within the bale's pivot range. Loading outside that range, or using the hoist ring in applications beyond its rated WLL, warrants removal from service.
- A hoist ring that has been shock-loaded should be removed from service and inspected by a qualified person before further use.
- Per ASME B30.26 and EN 1677-1, hardware with illegible WLL or manufacturer markings is not suitable for lifting service. Proof test certificates should be retained for the hardware's service life.
Frequently Asked Questions
A hoist ring has a pivoting bale on a swivel body, the bale swings and rotates under load so the hook or rigging above can approach from any angle. A standard eye bolt has a fixed eye that requires the sling to pull in-line with the shank. Off-axis loading on a fixed eye bolt degrades capacity; a swivel hoist ring maintains rated WLL across its designed pivot range.
Codipro swivel hoist rings are manufactured to EN 1677-1, the European standard for forged load-handling components, and carry DGUV certification. In North America, ASME B30.26 (Rigging Hardware) governs design, marking, and inspection for hoist rings and similar rigging hardware used in overhead lifting service.
Codipro hoist rings are available in both metric and UNC thread configurations. Metric is standard for European machinery, wind energy, and offshore applications. UNC covers North American imperial fastener patterns.
A low-profile hoist ring reduces the height of the swivel body above the mounting surface compared to a standard configuration. This is specified where clearance above the load is limited, under overhead obstructions, in stacked assemblies, or in confined bays. The low-profile design keeps the bale height down without reducing the rated WLL.
Every Codipro hoist ring order from Holloway Houston includes a proof test certificate from the manufacturer. Hardware is marked with WLL and manufacturer identification per EN 1677-1 and ASME B30.26. Documentation packages for project traceability are available on request.
Codipro hoist rings see regular use in mold and tooling shops, wind energy, offshore and marine, aerospace and defense, and fabricated steel applications. The swivel bale is the call wherever the mounting pattern is fixed and the lift point needs to adapt to the rigging angle, rather than the other way around.
DISCLAIMER
Hoist rings are load-bearing rigging components. Selection, inspection, and use call for training consistent with ASME B30.26 (Rigging Hardware) and applicable OSHA standards.
