Lifting anchor — The lifting system for small and large loads

Precise and powerful lifting performance for different load requirements in timber construction

The safe transport of building components is essential in the construction industry, especially in timber construction. This can involve a variety of loads such as beams, columns, roof structures or heavy prefabricated wall panels — all of which need to be lifted, moved and positioned accurately during the course of the construction project. The use of specialist lifting equipment plays a key role, as mistakes can not only delay the specified schedule, but also create significant safety risks. Carefully selected lifting solutions allow the various load elements to be moved safely, minimizing the risk of accidents and material damage.

For this reason, Eurotec offers transport anchors, as well as the matching ball lifting pins. These products enable the safe lifting and transport of small and large loads and, in accordance with their European Technical Approval, are specifically designed to meet the requirements of modern timber construction.

Lifting Anchor Mini — ideal for handling smaller components

The Lifting Anchor Mini is specially designed for lighter loads in timber construction and is characterized by its easy handling in glulam and CLT. Together with the matching ball bearing pin, the Lifting Anchor Mini enables safe lifting and positioning of smaller timber elements. Its collar on the top edge prevents it from slipping through the drill hole, ensuring safe handling during the lifting process. The Lifting Anchor Mini is screwed to the timber element, allowing the product to be reused.

Lifting Anchor — safely moving large wall elements

The Lifting Anchor offers similar advantages as the mini version, but is designed for heavier loads. It is often used to lift and transport larger, prefabricated wall modules in timber construction and is also reusable thanks to its screw fixing. The practical lifting system can be used for a variety of applications and provides maximum safety for the load case with minimal assembly effort. Easy to use, it can lift and hold heavy individual loads of cross laminated timber or glulam. Lifting Anchor therefore contributes to efficient and precise assembly and is ideal for demanding projects where stability and reliability are required.

Both Lifting Anchors only work in conjunction with the spherical lifting pin supplied. Once the anchor has been installed, the pin is inserted into the hole provided in the anchor. When the pin is in the correct position, it engages and the balls at the end of the pin lock automatically. By pressing the red button under the shackle, the lock is easily released, and the pin can be removed from the bracket.

When used correctly and with regular maintenance and inspection, the Lifting Anchor can be used many times over.
