What is the maximum rotation allowed with a swivel hoist ring?

The maximum rotation allowed with a swivel hoist ring is indeed 360 degrees. Swivel hoist rings are specifically designed to provide full rotation, which allows for greater flexibility and ease of maneuverability when lifting loads. This full range of motion is essential in rigging applications as it helps prevent twisting of the rigging components and the load itself, which can occur if the load is not able to rotate freely.

In practical terms, having a full 360-degree rotation ensures that the load can be positioned accurately without the risk of damaging the rigging system or the item being lifted. This capability is particularly useful in complex lifting scenarios where precise alignment is critical.

The other options reflect limited rotation ranges that are not applicable to standard swivel hoist rings. A swivel hoist ring’s design and intended usage allow it to operate effectively over a complete circular path, maximizing operational efficiency and safety in lifting operations.
