Qingdao JinMaoCheng Rigging Ltd provides requirements for qualification and use of rigging hardware for lifting service and includes shackles, rings, wire rope clamps (clips), eyebolts, turnbuckles, and rigging hooks.

The use of other commercially made rigging hardware designed for overhead lifting that is not included in this section (e.g., patented products) requires management approval.

Manufacturer-Installed Eyebolts vs. Eyebolts Used as Rigging Hardware

This section specifies requirements for eyebolts that are used as rigging hardware during normal hoisting and rigging activities. Eyebolts designed for and permanently installed by the manufacturer on existing engineered equipment are considered part of the engineered equipment. They may not meet all requirements specified for rigging hardware. Eyebolts permanently installed on engineered equipment are acceptable for their intended use as long as they pass visual inspection before use.

It is important to know how the manufacturer of engineered equipment intends permanently installed eyebolts to be used. In some cases the intended use is obvious to an experienced craftsman and in other cases engineering review of vendor information may be necessary. In either case, when special eyebolt use instructions are provided by the manufacturer or vendor
