pewag has launched the PLZW-R rapid, a screw-in lifting point that allows for quick and easy attachment with a click-and-go function. |
The PLZW-R rapid lifting point offers tool-free assembly and disassembly, and expands the winner pro points family, which also includes the PLZW-FIX-SP and PLZW Zeta. It is designed for versatility and safe use in multiple applications, such as those in tool and die, machining, assembly, and general manufacturing industries. The PLZW-R rapid is compatible with the popular pewag winner lifting chain program.
Available in 0.4t, 0.5t, and 1.1t capacities, the product has a 5:1 safety factor. Users simply press a button to unlock the threaded plates; insert the lifting point into the threaded hole; release the button; and tighten the screw by hand. The locking indicator must then be checked to ensure the green ring is visible, confirming the lifting point is ready for use.
The PLZW-R rapid is 360 degrees rotatable, allowing for adjustment in the direction of the load; and the ring can be folded 180° for added versatility.
In addition, the rapid lifting point operates reliably in temperatures from -4 °F to 392 °F (in special cases, even higher) without any reduction in performance The screw is made of rust-resistant stainless steel, while the sleeve protects the contact surface of the load. Each unit features an individual serial number for traceability.
“Designed for maximum flexibility, the PLZW-R rapid stands out with its quick click-and-go function,” say Carlo Autischer, sales engineer at pewag. “With a simple push of a button, it locks or releases instantly, no tools, no hassle. Ideal for jobs where lifting points must be mounted and removed frequently; it saves time, boosts efficiency, and keeps operations moving safely and smoothly.”
The PLZW-R rapid can be supplied with peTAG, the intelligent NFC solution for clear item identification, seamless data transfer, servicing of items, safe archiving of data, and efficient interaction with partner companies. With the peTAG manager, personal computer and mobile end devices work hand-in-hand with this platform that stands out in any working environment and improves data quality at the same time. The requirement for additional, expensive reading devices and manual data transfer is eliminated.
Each product is marked with product family name (PLZW), manufacturer, batch code, CE-mark, and serial number. The manufacturer’s name is also marked on the screw itself, as is batch code, thread size, and load capacity.
“pewag winner pro lifting points set new standards for the lifting and moving of loads,” Autischer says. “Our innovative product range offers the highest standards when it comes to quality, safety, and user-friendliness. It is notable that all products are compatible with the popular pewag winner lifting chain program, simplifying field application at the point of use.”
