Prior to installation ensure the concrete element has been designed to keep in mind several factors that can affect the function of the lifting Anchor WLL. Effective concrete thickness, concrete compressive strength at time of lift, Anchor lift, actual edge distance, potential requirement of a shear bar, correct embedment depth.
Determination of the correct size and length anchor should be done with the use of the above Technical Data Chart contained within this document. In most cases anchors should normally be the maximum length that can be accommodated in the slab’s thickness, allowing at least 13mm clearance between the anchor and the casting bed.
