Collector Ring: A Circular Load Lifting Device for Round Structures
One of the most specialized tools in the LGH rental fleet is the Collector Ring, a purpose-built circular load lifting device designed for large round structures. Silos, tanks, domes, vessels, and other circular loads often require multiple lift points, balanced load distribution, and controlled placement from start to finish.
Traditional rigging methods can become complex when the load is wide, heavy, or awkwardly shaped. Sling angles, headroom, load balance, and uneven force distribution can all create challenges. The LGH Collector Ring helps solve those problems by distributing the load through 16 points around the structure.
With a 150-ton capacity, 2,500-pound weight, and project-specific slings and shackles included with each rental, the Collector Ring gives crews a compact, controlled solution for lifting heavy circular loads.
What Is the LGH Collector Ring?
The LGH Collector Ring is a 16-point lifting device designed to lift large round or circular loads. It was custom-built for LGH to help solve a recurring lifting challenge: how to raise and place large circular structures safely, evenly, and with reduced rigging headroom.
Unlike a basic sling arrangement or single lifting point, the Collector Ring allows crews to connect multiple rigging points around the load. This helps distribute lifting forces more evenly and keeps the load plumb and level during lifting and placement.
The Collector Ring is especially useful when the load geometry makes traditional rigging difficult or when the project requires a more balanced multipoint lifting solution.
How Does the Collector Ring Help Lift Round Objects?
The Collector Ring helps lift round objects by distributing lifting forces through 16 points around the load. Instead of concentrating the lift through only a few connections, the multipoint design helps equalize the load before lifting begins.
This approach can help crews:
- Keep large circular loads more level during lifting
- Reduce uneven load distribution
- Improve control during placement
- Minimize rigging complexity compared to some traditional setups
- Reduce required headroom
- Support wide, round, or awkwardly shaped structures
For silos, tanks, domes, and vessels, balanced support is critical. The Collector Ring gives crews a more controlled way to lift circular structures that may otherwise be difficult to rig evenly.
Why Use a 16-Point Lifting Device?
A 16-point lifting device provides multiple connection points around the load, helping distribute weight more evenly across the structure. This can be especially valuable when the load is large in diameter, sensitive to uneven loading, or difficult to balance from only a few pick points.
The 16-point design is useful when the load is:
- Round or circular
- Large in diameter
- Heavy or awkwardly shaped
- Sensitive to uneven force distribution
- Difficult to balance from fewer lifting points
- Being lifted in a low-headroom environment
- Being placed onto another structure
- Too complex for a basic sling setup
By using multiple rigging points, crews can create a more stable lifting arrangement for large circular loads that require precise placement.
Common Applications for the Collector Ring
The LGH Collector Ring is designed for specialized heavy-duty lifts involving round structures.
Common applications include:
- Silo lifting and placement
- Water tank installation
- Circular tank lifting
- Dome lifting
- Vessel lifting
- Concrete roof or dome repair
- Industrial tank installation
- Large circular structure placement
- Complex multipoint rigging applications
These projects often require more than standard rigging. Load shape, pick point spacing, headroom, center of gravity, and final placement all need to be considered before the lift begins.
Benefits of the LGH Collector Ring
The Collector Ring gives crews a specialized rental option when traditional rigging methods create too much complexity, require too much headroom, or do not provide enough load control.
Key benefits include:
- 150-ton capacity: Supports heavy-duty circular lifting applications.
- 16-point design: Helps distribute weight through multiple lift points.
- Reduced headroom: Provides a compact rigging profile compared to some traditional lifting setups.
- Balanced lifting: Helps keep large round loads plumb and level.
- Project-specific rigging: Each rental includes customized slings and shackles for the application.
- Simplified setup: Reduces guesswork by providing a configured lifting package.
- Specialized rental access: Gives crews access to a unique lifting device without purchasing bespoke equipment.
Rent the Collector Ring from LGH
