EDITORIAL Since its integration into ALIPA Group in 2004, CODIPRO has been in a state of constant development. This development is reflected in some very significant events: new buildings, many more employees, communication tools that are adapted to new technologies, workshops redesigned to maintain maximum flexibility despite sales volumes multiplying by ten, etc. Such growth has enabled our teams to develop their expertise and allowed us to acquire new techniques; all this means that we can now aspire to a very high level of competitiveness. «At CODIPRO, innovation is in our genes» In 2018, we presented the new product range GRADUP to you, which is the result of a long-standing collaboration between our technical teams and European research centers. This GRADUP range has been produced in compliance with the highest standards based on our key criteria: WLL, design and competitiveness. In this constantly challenging and changing environment, we stayed loyal to our values. More than ever, “Our QUALITY = Your SAFETY” is undoubtedly what best defines CODIPRO. Located right in the heart of Europe, we are proud to display the label “Made in Luxembourg” - a seal of quality, innovation and professionalism. As the only manufacturer to focus 100% on swivel lifting rings, CODIPRO has an in-depth knowledge of local and international standards and legislation. With the involvement in the European Committee for Standardization, we are able to bring lifting rings to market that comply with the very latest changes in regulations. The safety swivel lifting rings manufactured by CODIPRO are available via a network of partner distributors known as “EXPERTS”. A charter, in which clarity and transparency are key words, defines the roles of the three parties involved in this business relationship: CODIPRO, the EXPERTS and the end users. In 2020, CODIPRO entered a new digital era with the launch of CODITRACER, a management and traceability tool. Developed in technological partnership with Telindus, one of the recognized leaders in convergent Cloud, ICT and telecom services in Luxembourg, the CODITRACER ensures the traceability of the ring in each step of its way: during the production of the pieces, in the assembly of the ring, in its distribution and in its use. Lifting accessories are safety elements that must be accompanied by a certificate of conformity and an instruction manual. As CODIPRO delivers its lifting rings all over the world through an international distribution network, one has to imagine how difficult it is to provide users with these documents, which are essential for their safety. CODIPRO has therefore decided to go digital. By relying on BLOCKCHAIN technology, the end user is guaranteed reliable and forgery-proof information. www.codipro.net - info@codipro.net

EDITORIAL Thus, CODIPRO offers a tool that reinforces security and traceability while being ecological, given the abandoning of paper and plastic bags in the product packaging. The icing on the cake: CODIPRO has taken advantage of the CODITRACER tool to implement a 7-year warranty on its lifting rings! It is in this changing world, where innovation in all its forms is one of the ways to remain competitive, that I can assure you that we are already working on a new project that will allow us to get even closer to our EXPERTS.

GRADUP The CODIPRO team, always listening to the market and keeping an eye on its trends, works constantly to improve and develop its range of swivel lifting rings. The GRADUP range has been especially developed to be the quintessential swivel lifting ring, particularly in terms of the quality of the raw materials used. The CODIPRO research department, supported by advice from internationally renowned research centers, selected the best quality steel to achieve the best balance between tensile strength, breaking load and fatigue strength. Each component of the GRADUP lifting rings’ hinge...

GRADUP When should GRADUP be used? Anytime and anywhere in a traditional industrial environment: the GRADUP swivel lifting rings are designed to be used within a temperature range of -20°C to +200°C (-4°F to +392°F). Use recommendations provided in 15 languages give a detailed description of the conditions for use. For extreme applications such as offshore use, or very low/very high temperatures, etc. our engineers at the CODIPRO research department are available to provide details about the composition of our lifting rings: strength, chemical composition, mechanical strength, tensile...

GRADUP What are the benefits of the GRADUP range? • ach GRADUP lifting ring has an individual traceability number that is specific to CODIPRO. E • he GRADUP lifting rings are 100 % compatible with lifting rings in the existing SEB, DSR, DSS T ranges, etc. They are simply more effective. • The optimization of the raw materials enables a significant improvement in WLL: up to 11 % additional WLL (23 % in safety factor 4). • n keeping with its mission statement: “Our QUALITY = Your SAFETY”, CODIPRO is offering certified I lifting rings stamped with the 5:1 safety factor, which means they can be...

SAFETY FACTORS How is the safety factor calculated? In order to guarantee your safety, each CODIPRO swivel lifting ring has to undergo a series of very strict tests: > Breaking tests; > Proof load tests at 2.5 x WLL; > Fatigue tests. Calculation of the safety factor is based on the results of breaking tests. It is the ratio of the WLL (Working Load Limit) to the breaking test. For example, a ring with a WLL of 1 t with a 5:1 safety factor will have to obtain a breaking load of at least 5 t. CODIPRO favours the 5:1 factor True to its values, CODIPRO has always favoured the 5:1 factor because...

FIXED EYE BOLTS OR SWIVEL LITFING RINGS? Traditional fixed eye bolts (also known as DIN 580 rings) are intended for straight lifting: at a 0° angle to the direction of pulling. They are strictly prohibited for perpendicular lifting: at a 90° angle to the pulling direction. Swivel lifting rings are specially designed for turning loads. CODIPRO rings can be used in any kind of hoisting situation whether there is an angle or for a straight lift, and/or for all types of lifting. The design of CODIPRO swivel rings allows pulling from any angle and rotating safely under load. Painted in orange...
