The invention refers to a lifting device (1) with a base part (2) for attachment to an object (4) such as a loading platform or a load. A connecting part (16) of the lifting device (1) serves to attach a sling, lifting, lashing or tensioning means and is pivotable about a swivel axis (20) relative to the base part (2). The base part (2) also has a bearing surface (6) which defines an assembly plane (8). In order to be able to handle the lifting device (1) more easily and safely, a shackle drop brake (24) according to the invention is provided which acts between the base part (2) and the connecting part (16). The shackle drop brake (24) has at least one holding point (26) at which the connecting part (16) is held in a pivoted position outside the vertical (28) to the assembly plane (8) at a distance from the assembly plane (8). The shackle drop brake (24) prevents the connecting part (16) from resting on the object (4). This makes the connecting part (16) easier for a user to grip and lift. In addition, injuries and damage are avoided because, for example, parts can no longer be trapped between the object (4) and the connecting part (16).
