To Select the Number of Lifting Positions<br />

Establish the required number of anchors to ensure that<br />

the stresses from lifting do not exceed the strength of the<br />

concrete element being lifted.<br />

To Select the Rigging and Applicable Sling Factor<br />

By using a correct width spreader bar a 90° angle is<br />

achieved giving a sling factor of 1.<br />

By increasing the sling angle a greater load is applied<br />

to the anchor which will cause additional stresses on<br />

the concrete element. Therefore the Sling Angle<br />

should never exceed 120°.<br />

Slinging factors follow as defined in AS3850:<br />

SLING ANGLE<br />

SLING ANGLE FACTOR<br />

0 O 1<br />

15 O 1.01<br />

30 O 1.04<br />

45 O 1.08<br />

60 O 1.16<br />

75 O 1.26<br />

90 O 1.42<br />

105 O 1.64<br />

120 O 2<br />

To Check The Load On Each Anchor<br />

LOAD ON EACH ANCHOR = PANEL OR ELEMENT WEIGHT X LOAD FACTOR X SLINGING FACTOR (if applicable)<br />

NUMBER OF ANCHORS<br />

To Check The Load On The Clutch And Sling Components<br />

LOAD ON CLUTCH = PANEL OR ELEMENT WEIGHT X LOAD FACTOR X SLINGING FACTOR (if applicable)<br />

NUMBER OF ANCHORS<br />

To Prevent Possible Failure From The Load Exceeding:<br />

Anchor Capacity Increase the number of lifting points<br />

Or Select a higher WLL anchor group.<br />

Concrete Capacity<br />

Clutch Capacity<br />

Select an <strong>Edgelift</strong> Anchor with a hanger bar<br />

Or Tie the anchor to extra reinforcing<br />

Increase the number of lifting points<br />

Or Select a higher WLL clutch and anchor group.<br />
