løftebøyle

A løftebøyle, which translates to "lifting eye" or "lifting lug" in English, is a type of fitting or fixture used to facilitate the lifting and handling of heavy objects. It is typically a metal loop or ring that is securely attached to a piece of equipment, machinery, or a structural component. The purpose of a løftebøyle is to provide a strong and reliable point of attachment for cranes, hoists, slings, or other lifting devices.

Løftebøyler are designed to withstand significant tensile forces and are commonly made from forged steel or other high-strength alloys. Their design varies depending on the application and the weight of the object to be lifted, ranging from simple welded loops to more complex swivel eye bolts. Safety is a paramount concern in the design and application of løftebøyler. They are usually rated for a specific load capacity, and it is crucial to ensure that the lifting capacity of the løftebøyle, the lifting equipment, and any rigging used are not exceeded during operation.

These fittings are widely used in various industries, including construction, manufacturing, shipping, and heavy engineering. They are found on engines, transformers, large pipes, structural steel beams, and many other heavy items that require mechanical lifting. Proper inspection and maintenance of løftebøyler are essential to prevent failures during lifting operations, which could lead to serious accidents and damage.
