Our "Material Handling" product category includes a wide range of special components that are individually tailored to the requirements of transport and hoisting.
These include, among others:
- Hoist rings,
- Hoist pins
- Ring nuts
- Ring bolts
- Hoist screws
- Swivel ring bolts
- D-rings
which ensure maximum safety and permissible loads.
The range is supplemented by shackles, lifting pins, locating bushes for lifting pins and threaded lifting pins, which enable precise work and flexible application options.
D-rings from KIPP

The advantages of KIPP D-rings
KIPP as a manufacturer of D-rings
What is a D-ring?
D-rings are essential components in hoisting and lashing technology. They are used to secure against falling as well as for safely lifting, moving or fastening loads.
These items consist of a bracket and a welding block. Both components are made from robust and high-strength steel materials. This ensures that D-rings meet the high demands required during use.
The D-ring itself is made from 1.6541 steel, is forged, high-strength tempered and has a red plastic coating. This coating protects the bracket from external influences.
The welding block is made from S355JR steel, a material that is particularly easy to weld. The forged and high-strength tempered design ensures the block provides a reliable basis for safe operation.
The D-rings have a compact design, permitting quick and uncomplicated installation. The permissible load for the D-rings is visibly indicated directly on the welding block.
A 4x safety factor against breakage and loading from all sides makes the D-rings very versatile.
The welding must be carried out by a certified welder as per EN 287-1 to ensure that these operating parts perform to their full capacity.
In addition to the weldable D-rings, we also offer other material handling products such as hoist rings and swivel rings bolts. In the following, we will discuss the individual types.
Ring bolts and ring nuts from KIPP
Ring bolts are used as connecting elements or anchoring devices for when large loads (tension / weight) have to be taken up. They owe their name to a ring-shaped eyelet and, the smaller sizes are sometimes called eyebolts. The eyelet forms the anchor point for lifting slings, chain hooks, winch cables, round slings and similar devices.
Ring bolts, as with slip hooks, swivel ring bolts and shackles, fall under the category of load handling equipment
.
Ring bolts are mainly used:
- in logistics
- on construction sites
- in toolmaking
- in workshops
- by the assembly of heavy components
- when unloading/loading heavy loads
Ring bolts and ring nuts are generally used when heavy weight components need to be moved from A to B.
The ring bolts in the range differ in terms of thread sizes and various eyelet diameters.
Different materials are available depending on the design. DIN 580 ring bolts are available in various grades of stainless steel, or steel.
They differ from the ring bolts similar to DIN 580 in that they are CE-marked and have a higher permissible load.
The rotatable high-strength ring bolts, grade 10, have a plastic-coated ring that is joined to the bolt via a rotating ring. In addition to improved stability, this enables lateral tension of up to 90°.
The free rotation also ensures that the ring bolt neither unscrews nor over tightens. The ring can rotate through 360° even with the screw fully tightened. Grade 10 ring bolts are available with or without a hexagon socket wrench. They have permissible loading from 300 kg to 4,500 kg, depending on the version.
Ring nuts are also available with various thread sizes and with different eyelet diameters
. DIN 582 ring nuts are made from steel or stainless steel.
You can also find models in the KIPP range that are similar to DIN 582. As with the ring bolts, they differ in that they do not feature a CE mark and have lower load-bearing capacity.
VDI 3366 hoist screws & hoist pins
VDI 3366 hoist screws and hoist pins are essential components for the safe lifting and rotating of tools. VDI 3366 is a guideline issued by the Association of German Engineers (Vereins Deutscher Ingenieure). This deals with the requirements, design and application of hoist screws and hoist pins. The guideline defines:
- Design features: Specifications for material, strength and finish, such as the surface treatment (black oxidising).
- Load distribution: It is recommended to always use four hoist screws or hoist pins, making sure that two of them can support the entire weight of the tool.
- Safety aspects: Information on dimensioning and avoiding overloading or uneven loading.
- Application sectors: Examples of typical applications and installation instructions.
Both articles are made from 1.1191 (CK45) steel and have a tensile strength of around 700 N/mm². They have a black oxidised finish and ensure reliable handling of heavy loads.
Shackles
Shackles are connecting elements and are used to securely connect and move loads. Two types are available in the KIPP range: D-shackles and bow shackle. Both types are made from robust and durable steel and have a permissible load of from 500 kg to max. 8500 kg.
The D-shackle is characterised by its simple, linear form. It is particularly suitable for applications where the pull direction remains stable and there is no lateral movement.
The bow shackle, on the other hand, offers more flexibility due to its curved form. This design permits a larger radius of movement, which makes the bow shackle particularly suitable for altering tensile directions and dynamic loads.
Both shackle types impress with their stability and reliability.
The advantages of KIPP slinging points
Slinging points are essential components in lifting and material handling. The slinging points have a number of convincing advantages that make them a reliable solution for demanding applications.
Slinging points are used in a wide range of industrial sectors such as machine construction, logistics, toolmaking and the construction branches. Here, these items offer maximum safety, efficiency and flexibility when lifting loads.
Below, we take a closer look at some of the major advantages and show why slinging points are an optimal choice for professional applications.
- High safety: Slinging points serve as secure anchor points for loads and thus ensure the controlled lifting, holding or moving of heavy objects.
- Flexible use: They are versatile and can be attached to various machines, components or structures - both temporarily and permanently.
- Versatile applications: These items are suitable for a wide range of applications. In addition to slinging points, the KIPP range also includes hoist screws, hoist pins and ring bolts. These offer further solutions for safe load transport.
- Quick installation: Slinging points have been developed for easy and time-saving installation. This increases the efficiency of operations and optimises work processes.
- Space-saving design: The compact design permits slinging points to be used in confined or difficult environments without compromising the functionality.
- High permissible load: Slinging points are designed for high loads and, depending on the design and size, offer an enormous load-bearing capacity.
- Load bearing from different directions: These items are designed so that they can safely take loads from different directions. This increases their versatility and reliability in dynamic hoisting situations.
- 60 degree rotation: Some slinging points can be rotated or swivelled, which permits flexible adjustment to the pull direction and supports even load distribution.
- Maximum safety: With a 4x safety factor against breakage, e.g. by the weld-on D-rings, they offer maximum reliability and protection, even under extreme conditions.
- Durability and robustness: The individual items from KIPP are made from high-quality materials such as steel, stainless steel and QT steel. This makes them resistant to wear, weathering and corrosion.
- Simple installation: Slinging points can be installed quickly and easily, e.g using screw connections or fasteners.
- Standard compliant design: Some items fulfil international safety standards (e.g. VDI or DIN), which makes use easier.
