Hoist Ring Adapter

This lifting device is a hoist ring mated to a larger male thread. The purpose of this is when you don’t need the lifting capacity of the hoist ring of the larger thread size.

In this example, the larger thread is 2 1/2-8. A hoist ring with this thread size has a lifting capacity of 50,000 lbs., and weighs about 100lbs. The device we fabricated in this example, weighs 5 lbs., has a load capacity of 7000lbs. and for the application, it only needed to lift 3000lbs. The plastic shield was also added to prevent damage to the surface of the objects being lifted.

The benefit of this lifting device is to save damage to the object you are lifting & that it does not require an additional lifting apparatus to hold the large hoist ring up while threading it into the object.

We custom design these to fit your unique lifting application.
