løfteanker

A løfteanker, often translated as lifting anchor or lifting eye, is a component used in engineering and construction for attaching lifting equipment to a load. Its primary purpose is to provide a secure and reliable point for cranes, hoists, or other lifting devices to connect to heavy objects during transport, installation, or assembly. These anchors are typically made from strong materials such as steel or specialized alloys capable of withstanding significant tensile and shear forces.

The design of a løfteanker varies depending on its intended application and the weight of the object it will be lifting. Common types include eye bolts, lifting lugs, and specialized forged components. They are often designed to be integrated directly into the structure of the object being lifted or attached to it through welding, bolting, or other secure fastening methods. Safety is paramount in the design and use of løfteankre, and they are subject to strict regulations and testing to ensure they can safely handle the designated loads. Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial to prevent failure during lifting operations, which could lead to serious accidents and damage.
