Description
Lifting Loop
Lifting loops are a type of lifting and handling system used for concrete products. They consist of a loop made from a strong, durable material such as steel wire rope or synthetic fiber. Each loop is color coded based on its maximum safe working load. This allows for quick identification during production, but also in the field when elements are moved around and placed. The loop is galvanized to resist corrosion or rusting when exposed to the elements which allows for the loop to be left as is or be cut off after final placement of the element.The loop is designed to be embedded into the concrete product during the manufacturing process, with approximately 2/3 of its length placed within the concrete and the remaining 1/3 accessible for lifting. Lifting loops can be customized to fit the specific needs of the product being lifted, with variations in loop size, shape, and material to accommodate different loads and handling requirements. The use of lifting loops provides a number of benefits for concrete handling and lifting, including increased efficiency, improved safety, and reduced cost. By eliminating the need for specialized lifting hardware or recess formers, lifting loops are a cost-effective and universal option for lifting and handling a wide range of concrete products. To ensure safe and effective use of lifting loops, it is important to follow proper lifting procedures and guidelines, including using appropriate lifting equipment, ensuring proper weight distribution, and avoiding overloading the lifting loop. Regular inspection and maintenance of lifting loops is also recommended to ensure their continued effectiveness and safety.

Feature of Lifting Loop
Embedded Design:
The lifting loop is designed to be embedded into the concrete during the manufacturing process, with approximately 2/3 of its length placed within the concrete and the remaining 1/3 accessible for lifting.
Universal:
The lifting loop is a universal solution that can be used with a variety of lifting equipment, including cranes, forklifts, and other lifting devices.
Economical:
The lifting loop requires no special hardware or recess formers, making it an economical option for concrete handling and lifting.
Customizable:
The lifting loop can be customized to fit the specific needs of the product being lifted, with variations in loop size, shape, and material to accommodate different loads and handling requirements.
Safe:
Using lifting loops can improve safety on the job site, as it allows for more efficient and controlled lifting of concrete products. However, it is important to follow proper lifting procedures and guidelines to ensure the safety of workers and the integrity of the concrete products being lifted.
Durable:
Lifting loops are made from strong, durable materials such as steel wire rope or synthetic fiber, which can withstand heavy loads and harsh conditions.
Stock of Lifting Loop
The production process for lifting loops typically involves several steps, including the selection of high-quality materials, such as steel wire rope or synthetic fiber, and the cutting and shaping of the material to the desired size and shape. The lifting loops may be coated or treated to increase their strength and durability, and they may be tested for quality and safety before being packaged and shipped to customers.
In addition to the production of lifting loops, many lifting loop factories also provide custom design services and technical support to their customers. This may include consultation on the specific lifting needs of a product or project, recommendations for the most appropriate lifting equipment, and guidance on proper lifting procedures to ensure safety and efficiency.
To maintain the quality and safety of their products, lifting loop factories may also have quality control procedures in place, such as regular inspections and testing of lifting loops to ensure that they meet industry standards and customer requirements.
Notes:
As with all lifting equipment, Lifting Loops should be inspected at least once each year by a competent person as to their operational dependa-bility. Competent persons are those who are specalists with
experience and sufficient knowledge in the field of lifting equipment, regulations for prevention of accidents, recommendations (DIN) and generally recognised rules of technology, enabling them to make deci-
sions as to the safe wor king condition of lifting devices.
Discard time for Liting Loops must be determined according to the rules forropes DIN EN 13414.Lifting Loops should be discarded when the fllowing number of broken wires are visible:
4 broken wires on a rope length of three times the rope diameter or
6 broken wires on a rope length of six times the rope dlameter or
16 broken wires on a rope length of thirty times the rope diameter
Apart from this MAGPRECAST Lifting Loops should not be used any more when damaged as follows:
-broken strand
-crushing along the wire rope
-crushing in the support area of the lifting loop with more than four broken wires
-bends and kinks
-basket deformation
-deformed or darmaged threaded ferrule
heowy wear and tear
-damage due to corrosion
loosening of the outer strands along the wire rope Prior to inspection the Lijting Loops should be
deaned with a brush using penetrating oil.
The inspection must also include a control of the connection between rope and swaged ferule.
MAGPRECAST Ltions and other aggressive media.
MAGPRECAST Lifting Loops may only be hooked into crane hooks or lifting sling hooks, when their deflection radius
corres-ponds at least with that of the rope diameter of the Lifting Loop. Sharp edged hooks or hooks with
too smalla diameter lead to an early discard.
