This 5T weld-on lifting eye is a Revit detail component designed for structural steel assemblies and heavy-duty rigging documentation. The component features a heavy-duty forged D-ring secured within a robust weldable mounting block. The geometry is clean and precise, reflecting the industrial utility of a 5-tonne rated lifting anchor. Its matte grey finish suggests a durable steel construction suitable for high-stress applications. The design includes the necessary clearance for standard hooks and shackles, maintaining a consistent aesthetic while providing the functional representation required for structural engineering documentation. The compact form factor ensures it integrates cleanly into steel beam details or precast concrete lifting points without cluttering the technical drawings.
The download is a 369 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
In Revit, this detail component is best utilized by loading it into your project as a 2D annotation or detail item. It is ideal for drafting connection details, structural steel shop drawings, or assembly instructions where rigging points must be clearly identified. Users can easily snap the component to reference lines or structural members to indicate exact placement. Its lightweight file size ensures minimal impact on project performance when detailing complex structural layouts across multiple sheets.
