Lift Flat Foot Anchor

The Lift Flat Foot Anchor is suitable for use in plates. The head of the anchor has a hole in which the locking bolt of the lifting eye is mounted. Further reinforcement is to be placed above the foot of the anchor.

Description and Components:

1. Design:
   • A Lift Flat Foot Anchor typically has a flat, rectangular or square-shaped base with integral lifting mechanisms.
   • It is designed to distribute lifting forces evenly across the surface of the precast concrete element, minimizing stress concentrations.
2. Components:
   • Base Plate: The main flat plate that provides a stable surface for attachment to the precast concrete element.
   • Lifting Mechanism: Integrated lifting points or mechanisms such as eye bolts or recessed lifting loops designed to attach lifting slings or chains.
   • Embedded Anchors: These are anchors or embedments that are cast into the precast concrete element during manufacturing, ensuring a secure connection.

Functionality:

1. Installation:
   • Lift Flat Foot Anchors are installed during the manufacturing process of precast concrete elements.
   • Embedded anchors or weld plates are cast into the concrete element, allowing the anchor to be securely integrated.
2. Lifting and Handling:
   • Once the concrete element is cured and ready for installation, lifting slings or chains are attached to the lifting mechanisms of the Lift Flat Foot Anchor.
   • This allows for controlled lifting and handling of the precast concrete element, ensuring safe and efficient placement.

Applications:

1. Precast Concrete Industry:
   • Used extensively in the precast concrete industry for handling and installing various components such as panels, beams, columns, and slabs.
   • Facilitates the safe transportation and installation of heavy precast concrete elements during construction projects.
2. Construction and Building:
   • Deployed in building construction for lifting and positioning structural elements like facade panels, staircases, and other precast architectural features.
   • Supports efficient assembly and installation of prefabricated building components.

Advantages:

1. Safety:
   • Provides a secure lifting point that minimizes the risk of slippage or detachment during lifting operations.
   • Enhances safety for workers involved in handling heavy concrete elements.
2. Efficiency:
   • Streamlines construction processes by facilitating faster and more controlled installation of precast concrete elements.
   • Reduces labor costs and construction time compared to traditional on-site casting methods.
3. Versatility:
   • Suitable for various sizes and types of precast concrete elements, offering flexibility in construction applications.
