Quick lift pins make assembly and disassembly fast, simple, and secure. Designed for tool-free operation, they’re ideal for defence systems where efficiency and strength are essential. With precision-engineered construction and corrosion-resistant materials, our lift pins ensure dependable performance, even in the toughest field conditions.
Quick lifting rings can lift forces up to 4.8kN (with a 5 fold in-built safety factor). With a temperature range up to +250°C. The design of the safety shackle prevents accidental locking/unlocking. Safety shackle is adjustable and can be used to lift components at 90°, 45° or 180°.
Heavy duty lifting pins, quick and easy to use with pivoting shackles and protective bars, to prevent unintentional unlocking. The threaded lifting pin is inserted into a threaded hole. The rotatable shackle will always align with the tensile direction of pull without the pin rotating. This prevents the load-handling device from being turned out of the thread and the component can be lifted safely.
The t-handled grip can be used to move or transport workpieces via hand, e.g. part finished components, work holding systems, speakers and other containers. Corrosion and weathering resistant, thus also suitable for outdoor application.
Locating Bushes are used for quick and safe locating of lifting pins. They provide easy and safe assembly, and can be incorporated into a variety of materials. Can be used in thin-walled parts and blind holes.
