Abstract
A lifting device includes a base part, a connecting part, and at least one shackle drop brake. The base part attaches to an object, such as a loading platform or a load. The connecting part serves to attach a sling, lifting, lashing or tensioning means and is pivotable about a swivel axis relative to the base part. The base part also has a bearing surface which defines an assembly plane. The shackle drop brake acts between the base part and the connecting part. The shackle drop brake has at least one holding point configured to hold a weight of the connecting part when the connecting part is in a swivel position that is angled with respect to a vertical axis extending from the assembly plane.
