Hybrid lifting points offer a balance between traditional eye bolts and swivel hoist rings, providing enhanced strength, versatility, and ease of use. Unlike standard eye bolts, which lose significant working load limit (WLL) when loaded at an angle, hybrid lifting points maintain 100% WLL at a 90-degree load. While they rotate 360 degrees for proper load alignment, they do not pivot like a swivel hoist ring, making them a cost-effective and high-performance alternative.
Crosby SL-150 Slide-Loc™ Lifting Point
The Crosby SL-150 Slide-Loc™ is a tool-free lifting point designed for quick attachment and secure rigging. With a forged, quenched, and tempered alloy steel bail, it features a unique locking mechanism that ensures a fast, safe, and efficient installation. Rated for 100% WLL at 90 degrees, the SL-150 offers superior fatigue resistance, is tested to 20,000 cycles at 1.5x WLL, and is available in sizes 3/8" to 1" (0.5 - 3.2 ton WLL) for imperial and M10 to M24 (0.5 - 3.2 ton WLL) for metric.
Pewag PLGW Gamma Lifting Point
The Pewag PLGW Gamma is a hand-tightened, rotatable lifting point featuring a corrosion-protected, 100% crack-tested Grade 10.9 bolt for extreme durability. This easy-to-install solution offers full 360-degree rotation and an integrated sleeve to protect the surface of the load. Available in sizes 3/8" to 1-3/4" (1,100 - 19,800 lbs WLL) for imperial and M8 to M48 (300 - 12,000 kg WLL) for metric, the PLGW Gamma meets the highest safety and performance standards for lifting and rigging applications.
Both the Crosby SL-150 and Pewag PLGW Gamma offer enhanced performance over standard eye bolts, making them the ideal choice for lifting applications requiring flexibility, strength, and reliability.
