The equipment is designed for lifting heavy loads, particularly for turning or overturning. It is suitable for use with stud bolts and/or threaded screws. The safety coefficient is 4 in all loading directions, and it is certified according to GS-OA 15-04 and EN 1677 standards.
Usage Guidelines
The threaded pivot must be fully screwed to ensure the eyebolt base adheres completely to the object being lifted. The equipment is not suitable for continuous rotation under full load.
Technical Data
The document includes tables with codes, sizes, and working load limits (W.L.L) for various configurations, including single leg and multiple leg setups. It specifies the maximum tightening torque and provides dimensions for different models.
Installation Instructions
For correct installation, the base must be welded around its perimeter, except for the water discharge area. The bracket should be aligned with the pulling direction, with a tolerance of +/-10°. The anchorage clamp is safe for up to 20,000 lifts at full load.
Safety and Testing
The equipment is made of high-resistant steel, painted with epoxy, and tested for 20,000 stress cycles. It is not to be used for lifting people. The document provides a formula for determining the necessary capacity based on the pulling inclination angle.
