The female hoist ring will fit directly onto an existing bolt, that meets the end user’s requirements.
Designed for maximum safety and flexibility
The cromox® CDAW-F swivel lifting point offers 360° rotation and 180° swivel motion, ensuring that the hoist ring automatically aligns with the pull direction of slings or chains. Unlike a fixed lifting point that needs to be manually positioned by the operators, the CDAW-F swivel hoist ring adjusts automatically providing greater safety and smoother handling in every operation. This reduces handling time and improves safety during lifting operations.
The CDAW-F is manufactured from Grade 60 AISI 318LN Duplex stainless steel, known for its superior corrosion resistance and high ductility (DIN EN ISO 9227 > 1008 h). The product is EN 1677-1 compliant, features a safety factor of 4, and is available in eight versions ranging from 0.5 t to 10 t working load limit (WLL).
Reliable performance in hygiene-controlled industries
The cromox® CDAW-F is designed for environments where corrosion and hygiene standards are critical – including food and beverage, the nuclear, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, water treatment, and marine/offshore sectors.
In food and beverage applications, it supports the lifting of processing machinery, mixers, and tanks. In the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, it ensures safe handling of centrifuges, cleanroom systems, and other sensitive equipment. Its resistance to salt spray and aggressive chemicals also makes it ideal for offshore operations and seawater-exposed environments.
Proven material expertise and global availability
Our CEO of Ketten Wälder GmbH, Franz Wälder, stated: “The CDAW-F continues our mission to deliver stainless-steel lifting equipment that performs reliably in the most demanding conditions – whether that means high corrosion resistance, strict hygiene regulations, or 24/7 offshore use.”
To enhance global service and availability, we are expanding stock levels across our warehouses in Germany, the UK, and the United States, with direct shipments from headquarters ensuring short lead times and local support.
