The clutch can accommodate an anchor pin shaft diameter of up to 40MM and an anchor pin head diameter ranging from 58MM to 71MM.

Is this clutch suitable for lifting non-precast concrete items?

No, this clutch is specifically designed and rated for lifting prefabricated concrete products that have compatible lifting pin anchors embedded.

What material is the clutch made from?

The clutch is manufactured from Grade 80 Steel, known for its high strength and durability.

What does BS-EN818-2 compliance mean?

This means the product has been manufactured in accordance with the European standard BS-EN818-2, which relates to chains for lifting - Grade 80, 8 nominated components for general purpose lifting.

How do I ensure the clutch is safely locked onto the anchor?

The clutch automatically rotates and locks onto the anchor pin head as tension is applied during the lifting process. Visually confirm the clutch is securely engaged before lifting.

Troubleshooting

Clutch does not engage or lock onto anchor pin.

Verify that the correct size lifting pin anchor (shaft and head dimensions) is installed and compatible with the clutch. Ensure the anchor is properly recessed and the clutch is fully seated on the anchor head before applying load.

Clutch appears damaged or worn.

Immediately remove the clutch from service. Inspect for cracks, significant deformation, or excessive wear on the locking mechanism or load-bearing surfaces. Replace if any damage is found.

Difficulty attaching or detaching clutch from anchor.

Check for obstructions, dirt, or damage on both the clutch and the anchor pin. Clean both components thoroughly. Ensure the clutch is correctly aligned with the anchor pin.

Yellow coating is chipped or scratched.

Minor cosmetic damage to the coating does not typically affect the structural integrity of the clutch. However, inspect the underlying steel for any signs of corrosion or damage. If the steel appears compromised, discontinue use.
