Precast Concrete Lifting Lugs

Different load cases are considered by the lifting design engineer such as anchor susceptibility to edge distance placement sensitivity and anchor capacity at the specific concrete strength at time of lift.

Precast concrete lifting lugs.

Reid swiftlift lifting anchors clutches and accessories make lifting concrete components easy efficient and safer during transportation rigging and lifting of precast concrete elements. Load ratings have been determined by independent certified testing and established in compliance with osha 1926 704 c which requires a minimum safety factor of four to one. The formed head provides a spherical seating onto which the sl lifting eye engages while a disc. The basis of the system is a special cast in socket which is easy to install.

Precast concrete unit 5011018swift lift system swift lift anchors p 52 sl anchor is fabricated from carbon steel which has a minimum ultimate ten sile strength of 75 000 psi. The swiftlift system utilises a fully engineered approach combining cast in lifting anchors recess formers and custom fitting lifting clutches. Lifting hooks must be used when transporting svc precast concrete pits that have been manufactured with lifting holes holes are always marked lift here only. Our loop lifters are the ideal solution for numerous precast concrete applications.

It is generally accepted that a sling angle α of 60 degrees β 30 is the best compromise and therefore tends to be the default for most lifting designs. The work involves serious health and safety considerations and it is unwise to lift concrete without a completely co ordinated lifting system which has been developed and tested by a specialist. Lifting design is influenced by the steel concrete interaction of the specific anchor selected. Precast concrete can be used for a variety of products and design options for both above ground and underground construction.

Many of meadow burke s engineered lifting accessories have. To prevent any damage from incompatible lifting tools only the svc approved 2 0 tonne lifting hooks should be used these hooks are available for loan or purchase from svc. Both ends of the bar are hot forged. Seldom has the concrete construction industry been introduced to products that completely transform existing construction methods.

Sling angle factor for the rigging also affects the amplitude of the service load on the anchor and is often directly affected by the amount of height clearance at the precast factory. And erect precast concrete units by using the threaded wire rope systems. Carefully manufactured and rigorously tested you can be sure of the highest quality.
