Product Information

Full details

This guide is for professionals working with prefabricated concrete, offering a safe and efficient method for lifting. The primary benefit is enhanced safety and reduced risk of product damage during lifting operations. A key consideration is that it requires a pre-set Lifting Pin Anchor. This clutch is designed to securely hook onto the head of a recessed lifting pin anchor, automatically locking into place as the lifting process begins, ensuring a stable connection. It's constructed from durable Grade 80 Steel with a yellow powder coating for visibility and corrosion resistance. Available in capacities ranging from 12 Ton to 32 Ton, these clutches are manufactured to BS-EN818-2 standards.

FAQs

What type of anchor does this clutch work with?

This clutch is designed to work with Lifting Pin Anchors that have been set and recessed into the cast concrete block.

The clutch automatically rotates and locks into position when the lifting process begins and tension is applied to the lifting pin anchor.

What is the material and finish of the clutch?

It is manufactured from Grade 80 Steel and has a yellow powder coating for durability and visibility.

Does this product meet safety standards?

Yes, the clutch is manufactured in accordance with BS-EN818-2, a recognized European safety standard for lifting equipment.

How should I maintain the lifting clutch?

Keep the clutch clean and dry. Regularly inspect for damage and remove any dirt or debris. Avoid corrosive environments.

Troubleshooting

Clutch does not lock onto the anchor pin

Verify that the anchor pin head and shaft are within the specified dimensions (Shaft: up to 55mm, Head: 77mm-93mm). Ensure the anchor pin is properly set and recessed. Check for obstructions or damage on both the anchor pin and the clutch mechanism.

Difficulty attaching or detaching the clutch

Ensure the concrete element is stable and not under undue stress. Clean both the anchor pin and clutch of any debris or buildup. Check for any bending or deformation in the anchor pin or clutch.

Visible wear or damage on the clutch

Immediately remove the clutch from service. Do not use it for lifting. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified inspection service for assessment and potential replacement.

Rust or corrosion on the clutch surface

While the powder coating offers protection, minor surface rust can be cleaned with a wire brush. Significant corrosion affecting the structural integrity requires the clutch to be removed from service.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances safety during concrete lifting operations.
