Half Coupler with Lifting Eye

Description

Doughty T57207 Half Coupler w/ Lifting Eye (WLL 500 kg) for carrying heavier loads. This half coupler with lifting eye can be attached to airwall track brackets, Prolyte truss parts or other types of tubes with the same diameter. Sometimes specific products are needed for hoisting or hanging materials. Couplings and accessories cannot always be directly attached to each other.

In this case, a half coupler with lifting eye could provide a solution. In many cases, it acts as an emulsifier for coupling different types of material. Therefore, reliability must be extremely high. Fortunately, this is the case. This half coupler with lifting eye can carry loads up to 500 kg SWL. A robust and reliable M12 bolt ensures the connection between the half coupler and the lifting eye. For professional users, it’s good to know that the lifting eye is not rotatable.

Can this half coupler with lifting eye be attached to an Airwall Track Bracket?

But how can you use this clamp then? That’s not so easy to explain. The possibilities are very diverse. This coupling is often used in combination with an airwall track bracket. These are attached to the rails of an airwall, creating hanging points typically in conference and meeting locations.

You really can’t just attach a hoist to this bracket. The addition of a half coupler with lifting eye provides a solution here. You simply clamp the half coupler to the bracket. Now you can attach the hoist to the lifting eye. Unlike many other lifting eyes, these are large enough to directly attach a hoist. This eliminates the need for a shackle between the lifting eye and the hoist. Very efficient!

What else can I use this half coupler with lifting eye for?

You can also use this coupling to create hanging points in a specific location. For example, on a truss or single tube. Attach the half coupler to the desired location on the tube – which must be between 48mm and 51 mm in diameter – and you’ve created a new hanging point in no time. You can then equip the lifting eye with all kinds of materials such as a shackle, softsteel or steel cable.
