FAQs

What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this lifting pin?

The stated Safe Working Load is applicable ONLY when the pins are used in pairs. The specific SWL for a pair will depend on the load and the configuration, but the pin itself is designed for heavy-duty applications when used correctly.

Can I use a single manhole lifting pin for my job?

No, it is critical that these pins are used in pairs. Using a single pin is unsafe and not recommended, and the specified SWL applies only when used as a set.

What materials is the lifting pin made from?

The lifting pin is manufactured from steel for strength and durability, and it features a galvanised finish to prevent rusting and corrosion.

What are the dimensions of the SFYMMLP200?

The specifications are: Pin Diameter: 38MM, Overall Length: 470MM, Eye Diameter: 50MM, Max Wall Thickness: 220MM.

How should I maintain the lifting pin?

Regularly inspect for damage. Clean with a damp cloth and store in a dry place. Check the galvanised finish periodically for wear.

What is the weight of a single lifting pin?

A single Manhole Lifting Pin (SFYMMLP200) weighs 4.1kg.

What kind of lifting equipment is compatible with this pin?

This pin is designed to be used with standard lifting slings and chains, which are then attached to lifting apparatus such as cranes.

Troubleshooting

Pin does not fit securely into the manhole ring.

Verify that the manhole ring's lifting point dimensions match the pin's specifications (Max Wall Thickness: 220MM, Pin Diameter: 38MM). Ensure no debris is obstructing the hole.

Lifting sling connection feels loose.

Ensure the lifting sling's connector is fully seated within the pin's eye diameter (50MM). Use slings specifically designed for lifting applications.

Visible signs of rust or corrosion.

Clean the affected area. For minor surface rust, a wire brush can be used. If corrosion is deep or compromising the steel, the pin should be replaced. Apply a suitable metal protectant to the galvanised finish if it appears thin.

Difficulty attaching or detaching the pin.

Ensure the pin and the receiving hole are clean and free of obstructions. If the pin is stiff, check for any bending or deformation. Gentle tapping might help, but avoid excessive force which could damage the equipment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust steel construction ensures longevity and safety.
  • Galvanised finish protects against rust and corrosion.
  • Designed for secure and efficient manhole installations.
  • Easy to attach to standard lifting equipment.
  • Available in multiple specifications to suit diverse needs.

Cons

  • Must be used in pairs; single pin use is not recommended and invalidates SWL.
  • Requires compatible lifting slings and apparatus.
  • Weight (4.1kg) may require careful handling.
  • Limited to lifting pre-cast concrete rings and chambers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the manhole section has appropriate receiving holes or slots designed for lifting pins.
  2. Insert the Manhole Lifting Pin (SFYMMLP200) into the designated hole on the pre-cast concrete ring or chamber. Ensure it is fully seated.
  3. Attach a compatible lifting sling or chain to the eye of the pin. Important: Always use a minimum of two pins, attached to the load and connected to a single lifting point via slings, for safe operation. Never use a single pin.
  4. Connect the lifting sling to your crane or lifting apparatus.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with pre-cast concrete rings and chambers that have appropriately sized and positioned lifting points.
  • Requires lifting slings, chains, and a lifting apparatus (e.g., crane) with sufficient Safe Working Load (SWL) capacity. The SWL of the pin applies *only when used in pairs*.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the pin for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
  • Clean the pin with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris.
  • Store in a dry environment when not in use to maintain the galvanised finish and prevent rust.
  • Check the galvanised coating for any damage and consider protective measures if significant wear is observed.
