Concrete Lifting
1. Introduction
In 1977 Reids revolutionised the safety and speed of lifting cast concrete elements with the introduction of
the Swiftlift lifting system. The Swiftlift system utilised a fully engineered approach, combining cast in lifting
anchors, recess formers, custom fitting lifting clutches, and full engineering backup.
Traditional lift process of casting in bent reinforcing steel or other hook attachment points generally had no
engineering basis and gave poor margins of safety. This meant that lifting points were easily overstressed
with failures and accidents commonly occurring. This resulted in hazardous work sites, costly damage and
construction delays.
The Swiftlift system introduced a new era in lifting heavy concrete elements, eliminating many of the safety
issues and saving time and money in the process.
Reid Construction Systems supports the industry through a team of engineers and field representatives
servicing Reid products with technical expertise, installation guides, design manuals, seminars, and
continuous product development.

1.3. Special Cautions

Reids Lifting Anchors and Lifting Clutches must not be modified
by welding in any form or otherwise subjected to extreme heat as
this could change the metalurgical properties of the components.
Never attach anchors to reinforcing steel by spot welding.

2. Designing for Lifting and Handling
CATALOGUE
2.1. Planning is the Key to Cost Control
PRODUCT
Planning starts at the very early stages of a project with Architects and Engineers having a significant influence
on the final cost of a project. The handling of concrete elements is influenced by their geometry and needs to be
considered at this planning stage. This will help ensure a project runs smoothly and within cost estimates.
When project planning is not undertaken many hours are often spent finding solutions to complex lifts at the
construction stage. The attachment of strong backs, manufacture of custom made lifting devices, or redesign
of the element for lifting or transporting can result in a significant increase in cost and time delays.
ANCHORS &
FASTENERS
Consulting with Reids on lifting solutions at the planning and design stage enables improved project
management, with overall savings in project costs.
2.2. Total Design Process

The process of casting, lifting, transporting and placing concrete
puts stresses on concrete elements that are often not considered
REIDBAR &
FITTINGS
as part of the structural design.
To provide a full service to their client the designer should

consider the construction and handling process as part of the
design with allowance made for lifting and transporting.
2.3. Casting Off Site
CONCRETE
Limitations in the lifting height of a precast yard or height
SYSTEMS
LIFTING
restrictions on route often require a multi-stage lift process to
get a large panel erected on site. Consideration must be given to
casting, transportation and placement when choosing between
off site and on site casting.
Consultation with Reids on lifting before finalising the panel

design can assist greatly with the on site work flow.
NIRVANA
2.4. Casting On Site
Photo 2.3.1
The on-site casting and handling of precast concrete elements
Handling on Site
can be made easier if the designer considers the site conditions
and constraints before finalising the size and shape of the
concrete elements to be lifted. Such conditions can include
crane access, panel size, obstructions on site and overhead

powerlines.

2.5. Architectural Finishes

The increasing use of panel construction with architectural
finishes makes the pre-construction consultation process even
more important to ensure that architectural finishes are not
damaged during handling and erection.

2.7. Complex Shapes
With some complex precast element shapes it is not possible to errect or transport them without providing
some form of external strengthening.
The most common method of strengthening panels is to bolt on external beams or strongbacks.
Diagram 2.71 - Complex panel shapes needing strongbacks.
Common strongback sections are shown below.

Hex Screw Bolts. Hex Screw Bolts.
2.7 Erection Times

Erecting a panel or precast unit without strongbacks normally only takes 10 to 15 minutes depending on
size and complexity. If, however, strongbacks are necessary this erection time is likely to be increased to
1.5 hours per unit. Consequently Reids Engineers will always endevour to place lifting anchors in positions
that will reduce concrete stresses to a level where strongbacks are not necessary.

3. Lifting Solutions
3.1. Panel Face Lifting
Face Lift advantages:
Minimises stresses in the concrete.
Allows larger and heavier lifts.
Anchors are simple to use.
Remote release from the ground is possible
The element is tilted up and / or lifted from a

face. The lifting point may be in shear or tension
depending the orientation of the element.
Refer to Section 4.0 for more information.
3.2. Panel Edge Lifting

Edge Lifting is used to facilitate true vertical
placement of a concrete element.
Edge Lift advantages:

The element is lifted to vertical for placement over
starter bars or other connections. Diagram 3.1.1
Wall panels can be placed close to adjacent Face Lifting.
structures where space is limited.
Leaves panel face untouched.
Limitations on panel height can be encountered

with Edge Lifting due to the flexural stresses
induced in the concrete and reduced anchor
capacity due to edge proximity.
Refer to Section 5.0 for more information.
Rebated edges create difficulties for edge lifting

and require a special lifting arrangement using
Reidbar. See Section 3.3.
For shear loading (where the lifting force is at right

angles to the axis of the anchor) in thin panel
special edge lifting anchors with lateral feet or
special reinforcing shear bars are avialable.

4. Face Lifting
4.1. Face Lifting Anchors
Face anchors are the predominant anchor type used for lifting. These anchors use a round spread foot to
resist pull out from the concrete.
Two variations of the Face Lift Anchors are available to suit the two main lifting clutches used. The two
anchor types are:
1. Foot Anchors (FA) for Swiftlift clutches as shown in Diagram 4.1.1
2. Plate Anchors (PA) for Hairpin Clutches as shown in Diagram 4.1.2
4.2. Foot Anchor Identification

Length Stamp: All Foot Anchors have the length of the anchor stamped on the anchor head.
If there is no length stamp the anchor is not a Foot Anchor and relies on some supplementary anchorage to
obtain pullout strength.
Clutch Rating: This is the W.L.L of the lifting clutch that fits this anchor. Refer to Section 4.5

Diagram 4.1.1 Foot Anchor Diagram 4.1.2 Plate Anchor
4.3. Facelift Anchor Identification

The product code stamped on the side of the head is used to identify the Clutch Rating, Anchor Type, and
Length.
For example: 5PA125 = 5 tonnes working load limit, Facelift Anchor, 125 mm overall length. Refer to
Diagram 4.1.2
4.4. Face (Foot) Anchor Pullout Capacity

Each load group has a range of anchor lengths to allow for different installation situations.
Face Anchors efficiently transmit the applied load to the concrete through the conical foot of the anchor.
The foot induces a shear cone in the concrete that resists pullout.
Three main factors affect pullout capacity:
The embedment depth of the anchor.
The compressive strength (fc) of the concrete at time of lift.
The proximity of the anchor to free edges or other anchors.
The Standard Length Foot Anchors in each load group have been designed to provide the full W.L.L of the
clutch under most conditions:
Foot anchors should not be used where fc <10MPa
Edge distances less than 3 x anchor length can reduce pullout load.
Anchor spacing less than 6 x anchor length can reduce pullout load.
Standard Length Anchors should always be used unless otherwise specified. Where short foot anchors are
used in thin sections the longest possible anchor should always be used.

away from the tab, it is normal for the tab to rise
from the concrete surface. The Lifting Clutch has been
designed so that it cannot accidentally disengage while 30

angle between the tab and concrete exceed 30) lower
the unit and reset the tab to the surface.

5.2. Edgelift Anchor Lengths and Pullout Capacity
Reids Eye Anchors should not be used without hanger bars. Hanger Bars must be used with all Edgelift
Anchors with the exception of the 1ELA and Reids Hairpin anchors in high strength concrete.
The Hanger Bars increase the effective depth of Edgelift Anchors in thin sections or low strength concrete,
efficiently transmitting the applied load deeper to the concrete resulting in an increased lifting capacity.
Three main factors affect pullout capacity:
The length of the Hanger Bar

The compressive strength (fc) of the concrete at time of lift.
The proximity of the anchor to free edges and other anchors.
5.3. Edgelift Anchors

Reids manufacture a range of edge lifting anchors for lifting in thin sections. Table 5.3.1 lists the
available anchor types. Refer to Section 10 for detailed anchor specifications.

Recess formers have three purposes:
To form the recess around the anchor head into which the clutch is placed to engage the anchor.
To hold the anchor in position when casting the concrete.
To prevent the wrong series Lifting Eye being attached to the anchor.
Recess formers can be made from plastic, rubber or steel depending on their application and the anchor
type or pre-assembled kit. Rubber and steel recess formers are reusable.
Under no circumstance should a lifting eye or clutch be used with a different series anchor. ie 2LE with a 1FA120.

4 Transport over uneven ground.
8.8. Special Caution - Anchor Loads during Lifting.

Total crane lift load should not exceed the panel weight by 10%.
Exceeding the panel weight by more than 10% during demoulding may result in the panel releasing
suddenly from the casting bed and inducing high dynamic loads in the concrete or lifting equipment.
8.9. Reinforcing Steel

Lifting anchor design capacity is normally calculated assuming an unreinforced concrete element. This
is because reinforcing bars running at 90 to the axis of the anchor do not prevent or contribute to the
ultimate concrete cone pullout load of the anchor.
8.10. Concrete Cracking

Lifting design is normally done assuming an uncracked section. In shallow sections such as wall panels
it is generally not asthetically acceptable to allow flexural stress cracks to occur that are sufficiently large
to transfer tensile loads into the reinforcing steel. In some cases it may be considered preferable to allow
cracks to occur in precast elements during lifting rather than use multiple anchor points or strongbacks. If
this is done it is important that sufficient reinforcing is placed in the crack zone to prevent the reinforcing
exceeding its yield strength.
8.11. Multiple Lifts

Lifting anchors used continuously (rather than for just the erection process) should have their working load
downrated by a factor of 1.7

the reinforcing steel. Table 9.2.1 gives the allowable stress levels for various concrete strengths at time of
lift.
Any flexural stress induced in the panel when lifting must not exceed these allowable flexural stress levels
for the given concrete strength at the time of lift to avoid inducing cracks.
To avoid cracking panels when lifting the stresses shown in table contained in Section 9.4 and 9.5 should

be less than the allowable stress shown in Table 9.2.1

9.7. Maximum Panel Width
Maximum panel width can be controlled by two factors:
Anchor Pullout Capacity
Horizontal Flexural Stress.
Generally the controlling factor for simple rectangular panels is the pullout capacity of the anchor and not
the horizontal flexural stress. The number of anchors is normally dictated by the weight and thickness of
the panel.
The following table shows max panel widths for simple rectangular panels. Note it does not apply to panels
with openings.

11. Clutch Specifications
11.1. Swiftlift Clutch Specification
Universal Lifting Eyes
Swiftlift Lifting Clutches (sometimes referred to as Universal Lifting Eyes) have been exclusively designed
and approved for use with Reid Swiftlift Anchors and Recess Formers. They should not be used with
any other components. Such unapproved use could be extremely dangerous. The Swiftlift Lifting Eye is
designed so that it cannot accidently disengage whilst the system is under load at any orientation. This is
provided it has been correctly connected to the head of the correct anchor in the recess. When the lift is
completed and the load released, the Lifting Clutch can be quickly and simply disengaged.
A special remote release Lifting Clutch is available.
All Swiftlift Lifting Clutches are stamped with the relevant Working Load Limit (WLL). This aids
identification in matching components of the system on site and in the casting yard (anchor recess
Lifting Clutch).
Components of the different load capacity systems cannot be interchanged as their dimensions have been
carefully differentiated to ensure they will not mismatch across ranges.
The Lifting Clutch is attached to the head of the anchor by placing the mouth of the clutch over the head
of the anchor and rotating until the tab of the clutch rests on the concrete. Once connected the load can be
safely applied in any direction.
When the load is being applied in a forward direction, ie. away from the tab, it is normal for the tab to rise
from the concrete surface. This is quite safe as the Lifting Clutch has been designed so it cannot accidentally
disengage while under load.
In many rigging applications the load may be applied in the direction of the tab of the Lifting Clutch (ie.
tab up in tilt-up practice). Lifting Clutches should be checked regularly to make sure they have not been
damaged or that jaw opening H is not greater than H max shown in Table 11.1.1
