Lifting Point with Shackle

Lifting Points with Shackle

Lifting operations involving oversized or heavy components often require strong and functional hardware that can manage load orientation and movement with stability. Lifting points with shackles offered at Holloway Houston are designed for such demanding tasks. These lifting points allow load alignment during hoisting and lowering, and their swiveling structure aids in minimizing stress on the attachment.

Each unit in this category is equipped with a shackle that connects easily to lifting slings, links, or hooks. These assemblies are designed to offer flexibility during lifting while also providing a dependable link between rigging components and the load. The rotating design allows free movement without binding or twisting, supporting smooth lifting action from various angles.

Product Range with High Working Load Limits

The available capacities for lifting points with shackles in this collection range from 20 tons to 55 tons, with each model tested to meet a 4:1 safety factor. These capacities support lifting scenarios involving very large components, such as equipment housings, fabricated steel structures, or machinery during plant setup, shutdown, or relocation.

Double Swivel Functionality

One of the defining features of lifting points with shackles is their double swivel mechanism. This allows full 360-degree rotation along with 180-degree pivot movement, which means that the lifting point can rotate as the load moves, preventing tension from being concentrated in a single direction. Such movement helps reduce strain on lifting gear and improves alignment with the lifting direction.

This is particularly helpful in field environments where the lifting path is not perfectly vertical or when loads may shift slightly due to environmental factors or weight distribution. The ability to rotate and pivot allows operators to lift with more control while minimizing potential risk during turns or angle adjustments.

Application Across Key Industries

These lifting points are widely used in industries that regularly handle oversized or irregularly shaped items. Whether it’s for shipbuilding, oilfield transport, mining operations, or infrastructure projects, having a strong lifting point with rotational flexibility makes a significant difference in ease of handling and operational flow.

In fabrication yards and steel manufacturing, for instance, moving heavy plates, girders, or welded structures requires a combination of strong slings and dependable lifting points. Codipro assemblies, when paired with other Holloway Houston rigging gear, form a consistent setup for load handling.

Material and Finish for Industrial Use

The lifting point body and shackle are produced from high-performance steel. The surface finish helps protect against exposure to dust, grease, and moisture, supporting long-term use in workshop and outdoor environments. The shackle pin is easy to access, allowing fast connection to lifting slings or hooks, even with gloves.

Each lifting point also features a visible identification marking for WLL, which aids in on-site selection. This eliminates confusion when multiple lifting points are available and makes pre-lift checks easier for supervisors and crew.

Pairing with Related Rigging Gear

For a complete lifting system, the lifting point with shackle can be paired with compatible gear from the Holloway Houston range:

• Master Links: Help form a link between the lifting point and multi-leg chain or wire rope slings.
• Wire Rope Slings: Useful for heavy industrial lifts and available in multiple configurations.
• Chain Slings: These offer strength and flexibility during repetitive lifting tasks.
• Swivel Hoist Rings: Alternative when smaller WLLs or more compact design is required.

Each of these products can be integrated depending on the specific lifting configuration needed.

Alternative Option: Swivel Hoist Rings with Master Link

If you're looking for a similar type of lifting point but with a master link instead of a shackle, you may also consider the Swivel Hoist Rings with Master Link. These are often used when lifting with wire rope slings, especially in vertical or basket configurations.

The master link offers a central connection point while the ring maintains swivel movement. This can be helpful in locations where shackles may not provide the necessary clearance or flexibility for the lift.

Inspection and Maintenance Advice

While these lifting points are built for industrial use, regular visual inspections are recommended. Look for surface damage, bending, pin wear, or signs of misuse. Any abnormalities during lifting such as uneven rotation or audible grinding should be addressed before continuing the operation.

For extended use in critical environments, Holloway Houston provides lifting gear inspection services. These services support compliance with industry regulations and help identify when lifting gear needs to be rotated out of use or reconditioned.

Safety and Use Guidelines

Before beginning any lift, confirm that the WLL of the lifting point exceeds the actual load, accounting for angles and sling configurations. Always lift in line with the shackle and avoid side loading when possible.

Training on proper rigging methods and understanding the right orientation of lifting points helps maintain a safe working environment. Holloway Houston’s team is available to assist with technical queries or site-specific lifting challenges.
