HA Lifting Point (Metric Thread)

The HA lifting point provides a threaded lifting attachment for loads with suitable tapped holes. It rotates 360° around the bolt axis and pivots through 90° so the lifting eye can align with the lifting direction. Select the size and rated capacity for the complete lifting arrangement.

Selection and fitting should be carried out by people competent to assess the lifting task and threaded connection. They need to check the load material, thread size and pitch, required engagement and tightening torque against the manufacturer's instructions. A matching nominal thread diameter alone does not establish suitability.

The HA lifting point is suitable for top or side mounting on a load with a compatible, adequately designed tapped hole. Confirm the mounting surface, load material and thread engagement meet the manufacturer's requirements. Check the application chart for the intended loading direction and sling arrangement.

Consider this design when the lifting attachment needs to align with the planned direction of lift. The HA model offers 360° rotation and a 90° pivot. These movements do not remove the need to check the permitted loading arrangement, rated capacity and manufacturer's operating instructions.

Thread pitch determines whether the lifting point fits the tapped hole correctly, while sling angle and the number of lifting points affect the permitted load for the arrangement. The HA range covers M8 to M48 sizes. Match the exact thread specification and use the manufacturer's application chart rather than assuming capacity from diameter alone.

LOLER and PUWER concern the safe use of lifting and work equipment; they are not product certifications. Before using an HA lifting point at work, have a competent person assess the lifting arrangement and the applicable duties for safe use, inspection and thorough examination. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult current HSE guidance for your application.
