McKissick® UB-500 Series Non Swiveling Overhaul Balls
Design: Non-swiveling overhaul balls have a spherical design similar to swiveling overhaul balls but lack the top swivel mechanism. They are typically constructed from high-strength steel to withstand heavy loads and provide durability.
Weight and Stability: Non-swiveling overhaul balls are attached to the load line and act as a counterweight to improve lifting efficiency and stability. The additional weight helps reduce the load on the hoist and can prevent excessive swing or movement of the load.
Attachment Options: These overhaul balls are designed with attachment points such as hooks or shackles to facilitate easy connection to the lifting equipment. The attachment method may vary depending on the specific model or manufacturer.
Working Load Limit (WLL): Each non-swiveling overhaul ball is rated with a specific working load limit, indicating the maximum load it can safely handle. It is crucial to select the appropriate overhaul ball based on the intended load requirements and the capacity of the lifting equipment being used.
Safety Considerations: As with any lifting equipment, safety is of utmost importance. It is essential to follow proper rigging procedures, ensure secure attachment, and adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines and safety recommendations for using non-swiveling overhaul balls.
