Description

Cast-in Lifting Loops are the most economic lifting system. They require relatively large edge distances. Once the unit is set in the finally position protruding hoops can be cut off, if required, but the cut ends must be protected against corrosion to avoid rust staining. Cast-in Lifting Loops are composed from a high grade steel wire AISI 1010 (W 1.1121), swaged in a ferrule made of AlMg1.8, a tape at the middle an identification label, which must not to slide down the hoop during casting and should remain visible. Each lifting loop has attached a label marked with the admissible load and the code number of the testing. Cast-in Lifting Loops is zinc plated for protection against corrosion.
