Metric thread lifting rings: professional lifting points from Codipro

Reliable lifting points with metric threads

When safely lifting machines, structures, moulds and other heavy loads, a suitable lifting point is essential. When a structure is equipped with a metric thread, metric thread lifting rings from OpenSupply provide a professional solution for a wide range of lifting applications.

OpenSupply offers an extensive range of Codipro lifting rings within the Metric thread category. From compact lifting rings for smaller loads to heavy-duty versions with working loads of several tonnes and even up to 125 tonnes. Depending on the model, the lifting rings feature single or double swivel, allowing them to adapt to the direction of the load during lifting.

The result: a comprehensive range of metric lifting points for safe, flexible and professional lifting.

What does metric thread mean for a lifting ring?

A metric thread lifting ring is installed into a structure using a metric thread. The correct size is determined by the existing thread in the structure and the required working load.

Within the OpenSupply range, various metric sizes are available. Depending on the product, the Codipro range extends from smaller versions such as M5 and M6 to very large versions such as M100 and M150.

This makes it possible to select a suitable metric version for both compact and extremely heavy lifting applications.

DSR: flexible lifting with double swivel

The DSR is one of the key lifting rings within the metric thread range.

This lifting ring features double swivel, allowing the ring to align more effectively with the direction of the load during lifting. According to Codipro, the DSR is available with metric threads from M5 to M42, with working loads from 0.07 to 9.00 tonnes, depending on the version.

OpenSupply lists the DSR in sizes including M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, M14, M16, M18, M20, M22, M24, M27, M30, M36 and M42. A standard certificate is supplied.

The DSR is therefore suitable for a wide range of lifting configurations where freedom of movement is important.

DSS: for heavier lifting applications

When a higher working load is required, the DSS provides a solution for heavier loads.

The DSS is a universal double swivel lifting ring. Codipro specifies metric threads from M24 to M100, with working loads from 4.50 to 32.10 tonnes, depending on the version.

OpenSupply lists the DSS with a maximum working load of 25 tonnes at SF 5:1 and a maximum bolt size of M100.

The double swivel allows the lifting ring to adapt to the direction of the load during lifting.

GIGA DSS: metric lifting ring for extreme loads

For extremely heavy lifting applications, the GIGA DSS has been developed.

The GIGA DSS features a metric M150 thread and, according to Codipro, has a maximum working load of 125 tonnes at a safety factor of 5:1. The lifting ring is designed for rotation under load and provides 360° rotation and 180° swivel.

This makes the GIGA DSS suitable for exceptional industrial applications where a single lifting point must handle an extremely high working load.

DSP: compact double swivel lifting point

For smaller and medium-duty lifting applications, the DSP is an interesting solution.

The DSP is available with metric threads from M8 to M20 and, according to Codipro, has a working load ranging from 0.40 to 2.50 tonnes. The safety factor is 5:1.

The DSP therefore provides a compact solution when double swivel is required but a high lifting capacity is not necessary.

Metric thread for different applications

The metric thread range is not limited to one type of lifting ring. Depending on the application, different designs and movement options are available.

The range includes, among others:

• lifting rings with single swivel;

• lifting rings with double swivel;

• female lifting rings with metric internal threads;

• lifting points for fall protection;

• stainless steel versions;

• Quick Lift Rings;

• extremely heavy-duty lifting rings for industrial applications.

Metric thread is therefore the common connection type within this category. The final product should be selected according to working load, structure, freedom of movement and operating environment.

Stainless steel versions with metric threads

For applications where corrosion resistance is important, stainless steel lifting rings with metric threads are also available.

Codipro offers, among others, the SS.DSR with metric sizes from M6 to M30 and the SS.DSS from M24 to M56. The stainless steel lifting rings are manufactured from 316L stainless steel.

Female stainless steel versions with metric connections are also available, including the SS.FE.DSR and SS.FE.DSS.

This makes it possible to use a metric lifting point even in humid, corrosive or marine environments.

Metric thread and double swivel

An important advantage of many Codipro metric lifting rings is the combination of a fixed metric connection with a movable lifting point.

Double swivel models allow the lifting ring to:

• rotate 360°;

• align with the direction of the load;

• on suitable models, swivel through 180°;

• be used for different lifting configurations.

The GIGA DSS, for example, is specifically designed for 360° rotation and 180° swivel under load.

This makes swivel lifting rings particularly suitable when the direction of the force changes during lifting.

Which metric size do you need?

The correct metric size is not determined solely by the size of the machine or structure. The existing thread and required working load are decisive.

Check the existing thread

Check whether the structure has, for example, an M8, M10, M12, M16, M20, M24 or larger metric thread.

Determine the required working load

The WLL (Working Load Limit) must be suitable for the maximum load of the lifting application.

Determine the required freedom of movement

A fixed or simple swivel lifting point may require a different version than an application where the load needs to rotate or tilt during lifting.

Check the connection

The thread must be clean, compatible and sufficiently long to fully engage the lifting ring's thread. This is also emphasized in the Codipro instruction manual.

Safety when using metric lifting rings

A metric thread by itself does not determine whether a lifting ring is suitable for a particular load. The complete combination of lifting ring, connection, thread, structure and lifting configuration must be suitable for the application.

Depending on the product, Codipro uses safety factors of 4:1 and 5:1. Different models also have different WLLs and operating conditions.

Always consult the technical documentation of the specific lifting ring before use.

Why choose metric lifting rings from OpenSupply?

OpenSupply offers a broad range of Codipro lifting rings with metric threads. This makes it possible to select a suitable version for almost any professional lifting application.

From the compact DSP and versatile DSR to the heavy-duty DSS and extreme-capacity GIGA DSS, the different models provide a wide range of working loads and movement options.

Stainless steel, female and special versions are also available. This allows the product selection to be tailored not only to the load, but also to the structure and environment in which the lifting ring will be used.

Choose the right metric thread lifting ring

A suitable lifting point must match both the existing structure and the intended lifting application.

With the Metric thread category, OpenSupply offers an extensive range of Codipro lifting rings for different loads, sizes and applications.

From M5 to M150, from compact lifting points to solutions for loads of 125 tonnes, and from simple to double swivel versions: there is a metric solution for a wide range of professional lifting applications.
