Lift Ring Clutch is an assembly consisting of a main clutch body, a curved bolt/handle and bail. It is very similar to the Rapid Lift Ring Clutch, but has a much longer handle. The installation of the unit is quick and easy; simply rotate the curved bolt/handle to the open position, drop the main body into the anchor recess and rotate the bolt/handle to the closed position.
1) The ring clutch system serves as the standard lifting clutch for all anchors within the spread anchor system.
2) The ring clutch comprises a shackle and a clutch head, with the shackle allowing free movement in any direction. The clutch head features a locking bolt that secures it to the anchor.
3) It is essential that anchors are cast using the appropriate recess former.
4) The ring clutch is available in four distinct load groups, each containing three or four anchors.
Functionality:
Lift Ring Clutch are specialized devices designed for the safe handling and transportation of precast concrete elements. These clutches are engineered to work in conjunction with lifting anchors embedded within the concrete, ensuring a secure attachment and facilitating efficient lifting operations.A lift ring clutch typically consists of a central ring or loop that serves as the attachment point for lifting slings or chains. It is constructed from high-strength materials such as alloy steel to withstand heavy loads and ensure durability.

Lift Ring Clutch is an assembly comprising a main clutch body, a curved bolt/handle, and a bail. This design facilitates a complete 360-degree rotation of the bail around the main body. Installation of this unit is both rapid and straightforward: rotate the curved bolt/handle to the open position, insert the main body into the anchor recess, and then rotate the bolt/handle to the closed position.
Applications:
Construction and Rigging:
Used with cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment to handle heavy construction materials, prefabricated components, and structural elements.
Essential in rigging applications for positioning steel beams, concrete panels, and other large building components.
Industrial Settings:
Deployed in manufacturing facilities for lifting machinery, equipment, and industrial components during assembly, maintenance, and repair operations.
Marine and Offshore Industries:
Utilized in shipyards and offshore installations for handling heavy marine equipment, containers, and offshore structures.
Utilities and Infrastructure:
Used in utilities and infrastructure projects for lifting pipes, utility poles, and other large infrastructure components.
Advantages:
Load Rating: Each lift ring clutch is rated for a specific maximum load capacity. It is crucial to adhere to this rating to ensure safe lifting operations.
Safety Latch: Some clutches are equipped with a safety latch that prevents accidental disconnection of the lifting sling or chain.
Attachment: The lifting sling or chain is threaded through the central ring of the clutch.
Locking Mechanism: Many lift ring clutches feature a locking mechanism （such as a latch or pin） that secures the sling or chain in place once it is threaded through the ring.
Load Distribution: The design of the clutch ensures that the load is evenly distributed across the attachment points, reducing stress concentrations.
