OVERVIEW

Safe Transport for Industrial Welding Power Sources

The Lincoln Electric W4016701 Lifting Eye Kit is an essential accessory for industrial facilities and fabrication shops that utilize heavy-duty welding power sources. Designed specifically for compatibility with Lincoln Electric's advanced machines, such as the Flextec 350X, Power Wave S350, and Power Wave S500, this kit provides a secure attachment point for overhead lifting equipment. In busy industrial environments where floor space is at a premium or where machines must be moved between workstations frequently, the ability to safely hoist a welder via a crane or chain block is indispensable.

Manufactured from high-strength steel, the lifting eye is engineered to support the specific weight distribution of compatible Lincoln power sources. Using improvised lifting methods or non-OEM hardware can pose significant safety risks and potential damage to expensive equipment. This genuine Lincoln Electric part ensures that the load is carried correctly, maintaining the structural integrity of the welder's chassis during transport. The kit includes the necessary hardware for a straightforward installation, screwing directly into the pre-tapped mounting points located on the top of the machine.

Whether you are outfitting a new fleet of Flextec machines or upgrading existing Power Wave units for better mobility, the W4016701 kit is a critical investment in shop safety and efficiency. It allows maintenance teams and operators to reposition equipment without manual lifting, reducing the risk of strain injuries and accidental drops. Trust in genuine Lincoln Electric accessories to maintain the performance and longevity of your welding assets.
