Flush Lift Ring: Concealed Design, Safer Deck Opening

Abstract: A reliable lift ring is required for boat hatch covers and inspection ports. This lift ring features an embedded design, which is both aesthetically pleasing and space-saving.

Product Specifications and Materials

This lift ring is made of 316 stainless steel and its surface can be plated with copper color.

The size of the lift ring:

• Overall size: 75mm*58mm.
• Hole size: 65mm.

Applicable scenarios: Ship hatches, inspection ports, engine hatches, camper floor, industrial equipment door panels, etc.

The 2.5mm thickness is suitable for lightweight to medium-sized hatch covers. If the hatch cover is very heavy, a thicker model would be required.

Working Principle and Installation Method

• Embedding Mechanism: The lift ring is fixed in the opening by means of pre-buried or post-installed methods, and in the closed state, it is flush with the ground.
• Lifting Mechanism: By grasping the edge of the lift ring with fingers or tools, the hatch cover or door panel can be lifted.

During installation, corresponding-sized square holes need to be drilled on the deck or floor. After inserting the lift ring, it should be fixed using screws or welding.

• Daily Inspection: Check the lift ring every month to see if it is loose, corroded or deformed, especially in a salt spray environment.
• Cleaning Method: Rinse with water and then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using chlorine-based or acidic cleaning agents.

If the lift ring does not open smoothly, a small amount of marine-grade lubricant can be dripped onto the rotating shaft.
