OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIFTING POINTS
SCREW TYPE
• Assembly and removal as well as inspections and
maintenance must exclusively be carried out by skilled,
qualified, trained and authorized persons only.
• Structural changes are impermissible (e.g. welding, bending).
• Operators must carry out a visual inspection and, if
necessary, a functional test of the safety equipment before
each use.
• Never use worn-out, bent or damaged lifting points.
• Only lift loads that do not exceed the Working Load Limit of
the lifting points screw type.
• In case of using a 3- or 4-leg chain sling assembly never allow
for inclination angles of less than 30° and in excess of 75°.
• Do not use force when mounting/positioning the attachment
components.
• The load must resist and tolerate the forces to be applied
without suffering deformation.
• Only lift loads that are freely movable and not attached or
fastened.
• Do not bend the ring.
• Never install more than one connecting component to a ring.
• Do not start lifting before you have made sure the load has
been correctly attached and balanced.
• No one including you (operator) must be in the way of the
moving load (hazard area).
• During lifting your hands or other body parts must not come
into contact with lifting means. Only remove lifting means
manually (use your hands).
• Avoid impacts, e.g. due to abruptly lifting loads with chain in
slack condition.
• Never move a suspended load over persons.
• Never cause suspended loads to swing.
• Always monitor a suspended load.
• Put the load only down in flat places/sites where it can be
safely deposited.
• Assume for sufficient place for the personnel to move when
choosing the route of transportation and storage location.
Danger to life and risk of injury by crushing hazards!
• In the event of doubts or concerns about the proper and safe
use, inspection, maintenance or similar things contact your
safety officer or the manufacturer.
THIELE is not responsible for damage caused by non-observance
of the instructions, rules, standards and notes indicated!
As a rule, lifting points are not permitted for the transportation
of persons.

3. DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

THIELE lifting points screw-type are exclusively intended for
attachment to steel, aluminum or non-ferrous metal structures
and components.
Sling chains according to ASTM A 906/A 906 M may be used.
These Operating Instructions show the safety use of THIELE lifting
points of the following executions:
• TWN 0121/1 Lifting points, rotatable, with slide bearing
• TWN 0122 Lifting points
• TWN 0123 Lifting points
• TWN 0127 Lifting points MDB
• TWN 1120 TITAN Lifting points, rotatable, with slide bearing
• TWN 1830 X-TREME Lifting points, rotatable, with ball bearing
• TWN 1884 KE-Eyebolt, with ball bearing
• TWN 1890 Lifting points XS-Point, rotatable
THIELE lifting points meet EG Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG
requirements and feature a safety factor of at least 4 based on
Working Load Limit.
They are signed with the Working Load Limit in tons or the
nominal chain size, manufacturer's mark and traceability code.
TWN 1830 are additionally marked on the bottom part with the
date of manufacture in the form "mm.yy" (mm = month, yy =
year). Example: "1220" = production in December 2020
THIELE lifting points are designed to withstand 20,000 dynamic
load changes under maximum load conditions. In the event of
higher loads (e.g. multi-shift/automatic operation) the Working
Load Limit must be reduced.
Lifting points must exclusively be used
• within the limits of their permissible Working Load Limit,
• within the temperature limits prescribed,
• with suitable screws and fitted directly to the component,
• by trained and authorized persons.
Using the lifting points exclusively for lashing the lashing
capacity is calculated by doubling the Working Load Limit.
An alternating use for lifting and lashing is not allowed.
