Product Information
Full details
This guide is for construction professionals and site managers who need to safely and efficiently handle pre-cast concrete manhole rings and chambers. The SecureFix Direct Manhole Lifting Pin offers a durable and galvanized steel solution for quick lifting and positioning, significantly reducing manual labor and potential strain. A key consideration is that these pins are designed for use in pairs, with the stated Safe Working Load (SWL) applicable only when used in this configuration.

FAQs
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this pin?
The Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1000KG is applicable only when these pins are used in pairs. Never use a single pin for lifting operations.
What material is the manhole lifting pin made of?
The pin is made from steel for strength and durability, with a galvanised finish to prevent rust and corrosion.
What are the dimensions of the Manhole Lifting Pin (SFYMMLP100)?
The specifications are: Pin Diameter: 32MM, Overall Length: 400MM, Eye Diameter: 50MM, Max Wall Thickness: 155MM.
Can I use just one of these pins to lift a manhole ring?
No, absolutely not. These pins are designed and rated for use in pairs. Using a single pin is unsafe and not recommended.
How do I attach the lifting pin to the crane?
You attach lifting slings to the eye of the pin, and then connect those slings to your crane or lifting apparatus.
What is the weight of a single Manhole Lifting Pin (SFYMMLP100)?
A single pin weighs 2.4kg.
What is the maximum thickness of the concrete wall this pin can secure?
The maximum wall thickness the pin can accommodate is 155MM.
Troubleshooting
Pin feels loose in the concrete element.
Ensure the concrete element's lifting points are compatible with the pin's dimensions. Verify the pin is fully inserted according to the manufacturer's guidelines for the concrete element.
Difficulty attaching lifting slings.
Ensure the sling hook or connector fits through the 50mm eye diameter of the pin. Check for any debris obstructing the eye.
Visible rust or corrosion on the pin.
While the galvanised finish provides protection, significant rust may indicate compromised strength. Inspect thoroughly. Light surface rust can often be cleaned. For heavy rust, consider replacement.
Concern about the Safe Working Load (SWL).
Remember the SWL is applicable *only* when pins are used in pairs. Always calculate the total weight of the object being lifted and ensure the combined SWL of the paired pins and all associated lifting gear exceeds this weight.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhances safety during manhole installation and positioning.
- Streamlines lifting operations, saving time and labor.
- Durable construction ensures reliability on construction sites.
- Corrosion-resistant finish for extended usability.
- Versatile due to available size and SWL options.
Cons
- Must be used in pairs; single-pin use is unsafe and voids SWL.
- Requires compatible lifting equipment (slings, cranes).
- Specific SWL applies only when used in pairs, requiring careful load calculation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the lifting pins are correctly inserted into the designated lifting points of the pre-cast concrete element. Attach lifting slings securely to the eye of each pin. Connect the slings to your crane or lifting apparatus.
Compatibility: These pins are designed for use with pre-cast concrete rings and manhole chambers that have compatible lifting points. They are compatible with standard lifting slings and cranes. Always verify that the combined Safe Working Load (SWL) of the pins in use, along with the lifting equipment, meets or exceeds the weight of the object being lifted.
Care: Regularly inspect the pins for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Clean the pins after use, especially if exposed to mud or debris. Store in a dry place when not in use to maximize the lifespan of the galvanized finish.
