Codipro double-swivel lifting eyes: Maximum flexibility for lifting applications

Safely lift, rotate and tilt with one reliable solution

When lifting machines, moulds, structures and other heavy loads, a fixed lifting eye is not always sufficient. When a load needs to be lifted at an angle, rotated or tilted, the lifting eye needs to be able to adapt to the direction of the load.

Codipro double-swivel lifting eyes have been specifically developed for these applications. Thanks to their double-jointed design, the lifting ring can align itself with the lifting accessory during the lifting operation.

Depending on the model, the ring can rotate through 360° and pivot through 180°. This allows one lifting eye to accommodate different movements of the load.

The result: greater freedom of movement, improved alignment with the lifting accessory and an efficient solution for professional lifting applications.

What is a double-swivel lifting eye?

A double-swivel lifting eye provides two different movements. This allows the lifting ring to both rotate and pivot.

With a conventional fixed lifting eye, the ring remains in one fixed position. A swivel lifting eye, on the other hand, can adapt to the direction in which the load is being applied.

Codipro double-swivel lifting eyes are specifically designed for situations where a load:

• is lifted vertically;

• is lifted at an angle;

• needs to be tilted during lifting;

• needs to be rotated during lifting;

• or changes direction during the lifting operation.

Codipro states that the DSR and DSS are suitable for different lifting configurations, including axial lifting, angled lifting, tilting and rotating.

The advantage of double-swivel movement

360° rotation and 180° pivoting

The key feature of Codipro double-swivel lifting eyes is their freedom of movement.

The ring can:

Rotate through 360°
The ring can rotate completely, including when used under load according to the applicable product specifications.

Pivot through 180°
The ring can pivot across a wide range, allowing it to better align with the lifting direction.

This combination allows the lifting eye and lifting accessory to align more effectively with each other.

This is particularly important when the load moves, rotates or tilts during lifting.

Optimal alignment with the lifting accessory

A lifting eye must not only be capable of handling the required load. It must also be able to align correctly with the direction of the load.

Codipro's double-swivel design allows the lifting ring to align more effectively with the lifting accessory during the lifting process.

This makes the lifting eye suitable for different lifting configurations and provides greater flexibility than a conventional fixed lifting eye.

The DSR also features a protective crossbar and, according to Codipro, is suitable for lifting configurations from 0° to 90°, subject to the applicable product conditions.

DSR: Versatile lifting eye for professional applications

The Codipro DSR is one of the key double-swivel lifting eyes available through OpenSupply.

The DSR has been developed for the simultaneous lifting and rotation of loads and is available in various metric and UNC versions.

The metric DSR range is available from M5 to M42, with working load limits depending on the specific version.

The DSR is therefore suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• machine building;

• mould making;

• maintenance;

• production;

• logistics;

• transport;

• construction;

• material handling.

DSS: Double swivel movement for heavier loads

When higher working load limits are required, the DSS provides a solution for more demanding industrial lifting applications.

The DSS is a universal double-swivel lifting eye and is available in large metric sizes. Codipro offers versions from M24 to M100, with working load limits of up to 25 tonnes, depending on the version.

This makes the DSS particularly suitable for heavy machinery, structures and other applications where high lifting capacity is required.

For extremely heavy loads: MEGA DSS and GIGA DSS

When standard lifting eyes are no longer sufficient, Codipro offers high-capacity solutions for particularly demanding applications.

The MEGA DSS has been developed for very heavy loads. The MEGA DSS+ is available for working loads of 30 to 70 tonnes, depending on the version.

For extremely demanding applications, there is the GIGA DSS.

This universal lifting eye has been developed for loads of up to 125 tonnes at a single attachment point. The GIGA DSS has a 5:1 safety factor and provides 360° rotation and 180° pivoting.

The Codipro range therefore covers everything from compact lifting eyes for lighter loads to extremely high-capacity lifting solutions for demanding industrial applications.

Stainless steel versions also available

For applications where corrosion resistance is important, OpenSupply also offers stainless steel double-swivel lifting eyes.

The SS.DSR is a stainless steel version with double-swivel movement. Depending on the version, OpenSupply offers this model with working load limits of up to 3 tonnes at SF 5:1.

For heavier stainless steel applications, the SS.DSS is available.

Stainless steel versions are particularly useful in environments where moisture or corrosive conditions are a concern.

Work faster with the QL.DSR

Maximum lifting capacity is not always the only priority. In some applications, installation speed is equally important.

For this reason, Codipro offers the QL.DSR, a double-swivel lifting eye with a quick-lock system.

The QL.DSR is designed for applications where the lifting eye needs to be installed and removed regularly.

For companies where lifting points are frequently changed, fast installation can provide a significant efficiency advantage.

Also available as a lifting nut

In addition to versions with a threaded bolt, the range also includes double-swivel lifting nuts.

The FE.DSR combines the same double-swivel principle with an internally threaded configuration.

The FE.DSR is available in metric and UNC versions.

This provides additional flexibility when designing or adapting a lifting connection.

Double-swivel lifting eyes for offshore applications

For demanding offshore applications, Codipro offers specialised versions such as the OS.DSR and OS.DSS.

The OS.DSR has been specifically developed for the simultaneous lifting and rotation of loads.

For certain offshore projects, additional certification may be required. It is therefore important to confirm which version and certification are required for the specific application before ordering.

Safety and technical quality

Selecting the correct lifting eye is essential for safe lifting operations. Codipro develops its double-swivel lifting eyes for professional applications and specifies, among other features:

• safety factors of 4:1 and 5:1, depending on the version;

• manufacturing according to EN 1677-1;

• compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC;

• individual traceability;

• markings for items such as WLL and tightening torque;

• an indicated operating temperature range of -20°C to +200°C for the DSR/DSS range.

The exact specifications, working load limits and safety factors vary by model and configuration. Always check the technical documentation for the selected lifting eye before use.

Which double-swivel lifting eye do you need?

The extensive range is a major advantage, but it can also make selecting the right model more complex.

The most important questions are:

How heavy is the load?

The WLL (Working Load Limit) determines which version is suitable for the lifting application.

Which thread size do you need?

OpenSupply offers various metric and UNC versions. The correct size depends on the attachment point of the load.

Does the load need to rotate?

If the load needs to rotate or tilt during lifting, a double-swivel lifting eye can be particularly useful.

Do you need additional freedom of movement?

For specific applications, models with additional links or other specialised designs are available.

Is fast installation important?

If the lifting eye needs to be installed and removed regularly, the QL.DSR with quick-lock system can be an interesting solution.

Are you working in a corrosive environment?

In that case, stainless steel versions such as the SS.DSR or SS.DSS may be suitable.

Is it an offshore application?

Specialised OS versions and, where required, additional certification should then be considered.
