DR LIFTING SYSTEM
 
Operation instruction for the Lifting Eye
 

1. GENERAL

The Lifting Eye is a load lifting device. It grips the head of a DR anchor inside of the recess created by the Recess Formers. The bail is made from robust, hardened and tempered cast steel. The Lifting Eye meets the requirements of the “Safety regulations for lifting precast concrete units”. Important references include but are not limited to: OSHA Part 1926 and ANSI 10.9.

2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
THE LIFTING EYE

1. Hold the Lifting Eye upside down such that the opening of
the bail is placed directly on the anchor head (Figure 1).

2. Rotate the bail until the anchor head has reached the end of the
channel (Figure 2). The lip of the bail should be entirely level with
the surface of the concrete as shown in the figure.
*If the lip is not level, the anchor head is not completely inside the channel and further rotation of the bail is necessary. Failure to do this could cause the anchor head to bend.

3. The Lifting Eye can then be used for a straight pull
(Figure 2) or for parallel/transversal shear pulls. For parallel
or transversal shear pulls, the bail lip must point in the direction
of the pull.

 
Warning: For traversal/parallel shear pull, the bail lip must point in the direction of the pull, as shown in Figure 4.
If positioned incorrectly (Figure 5), the Lifting Eye can
come loose.

Warning: Do not allow the crane lines to form an angle less than 90 degrees during an edge lift application. This condition can bend the lifting eye bail and could lead to premature failure.

 
3. IDENTIFICATION
The identification meets the “Safety regulations for lifting precast concrete units” as follows:
 
Manufacturer FEDPAR
Type Lifting Eye
Size e.g. 4t
Manufacture Year e.g.04
Batch Number e.g.1234
 

4. CARE, INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF LIFTING EYES
DR Anchor Lifting Eyes may become worn after extended use or may be damaged through misuse, overloading, or a number of other factors, any one of which may affect the Safe Working Load of the Lifting Eye.

Responsible users will establish a system of periodic inspections which should include the following:

1. Inspect for general condition and wear.
2. Assure that the bale is free to rotate in all directions.
3. If the bale is bent or twisted, the Lifting Eye must be destroyed.
4. If the throat of the lifting body appears to be spread or deformed,
the Lifting Eye must be destroyed.
5. If it appears that the Lifting Eye has been heated in any way,
the Lifting Eye must be destroyed.

Destroy any unit that is worn, damaged, bent or twisted by cutting off the bale. No repair or welding is permitted.

 
Maximum Working Load 1 t 2 t 4 t 8t
Maximum Channel Opening 13 mm 18 mm 24 mm 33 mm
 
Warning: Before lifting the Lifting Eye should be checked to ensure that it is fully engaged with the anchor. Lifting eyes and anchors from different manufacturers should not be used together. Failure to observe any safety recommendation can result in a service failure of the lifting system.  
Warning: The crane line and bail of the lifting hardware must be turned in the direction of the cable forces before the lifting operation begins. The crane line must not be allowed to apply a sideward force on the ball. This condition is dangerous and could lead to premature failure of the hardware or insert.  
Warning: Do not modify, weld or alter in any way the Lifting Eye.
