Locking side pull hoist ring assembly
An assembly for rotating a workpiece including a locking side pull hoist ring removably attachable to a side surface of the workpiece. The locking side pull hoist ring comprises a load bearing structure, a rotation mechanism attached to the side surface of the workpiece that rotates about a rotation axis extending through the rotation mechanism, a locking mechanism configured to transition between a locked state and an unlocked state, and a support member connecting the load bearing structure and the rotation mechanism. The support member rotatably supports the rotation mechanism for rotation about the rotation axis and rotatably supports the load bearing structure for rotation about a second axis. In the locked state, the locking mechanism prevents rotation of the rotation mechanism by securing the rotation mechanism to the support member.
