RFID ready industrial hoist rings

Thursday, May 6, 2010

Jergens, Inc., a world manufacturer of lifting, work holding and fastening solutions, announced the release of full strength stainless steel hoist rings with embedded RFID technology.

The hoist rings can be equipped with Lift ID, Jergens’ automated inspection and compliance system, to provide a quick and efficient way to identify and track equipment in the field.

Manufactured in the United States, the hoist rings are forged from 17-4 PH stainless steel, which provide an added benefit of increased corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

Additionally, a permanently secured lifting bolt makes the hoist rings tamper-proof. [end]
