McKissick® UB-550E Top Swivel Overhaul Balls with Crosby Eye Hook are specialized lifting attachments designed for heavy-duty applications to provide additional weight and stability during lifting operations. Manufactured by The Crosby Group, a trusted provider of rigging and lifting equipment, these overhaul balls are equipped with a top swivel mechanism and a Crosby eye hook for easy attachment to the lifting equipment.
Here are some key features and characteristics of McKissick® UB-550E Top Swivel Overhaul Balls with Crosby Eye Hook:
Design: The UB-550E Overhaul Balls feature a spherical design with a top swivel mechanism that allows them to rotate freely. They are typically constructed from high-strength steel to ensure durability and longevity.
Weight and Stability: The UB-550E Overhaul Balls are used to add weight and stability to the lifting system. By acting as a counterweight, they help reduce the load on the hoist and improve lifting efficiency. The additional weight provided by the overhaul ball helps minimize load swing and movement.
Top Swivel Mechanism: The top swivel mechanism allows the overhaul ball to rotate freely, minimizing wire rope twist and preventing the load line from becoming tangled. This feature enhances the maneuverability and safety of lifting operations.
Crosby Eye Hook: These overhaul balls come equipped with a Crosby eye hook at the top. The Crosby eye hook provides a secure attachment point for easy connection to the lifting equipment, such as slings, hooks, or other rigging components.
Working Load Limit (WLL): Each UB-550E Overhaul Ball is rated with a specific working load limit, indicating the maximum load it can safely handle. It is essential to select the appropriate overhaul ball based on the intended load requirements and the capacity of the lifting equipment being used.
Safety Features: The UB-550E Overhaul Balls are often equipped with safety latches or hooks with safety pins to prevent accidental disengagement of the load line during lifting operations. These safety features help ensure secure attachment and enhance overall safety.
Identification and Markings: The overhaul balls are typically marked with relevant information, including the manufacturer's logo, working load limit (WLL), and other specifications. These markings help users easily identify the overhaul ball and ensure compliance with safety standards.
