Ring Clutch Application and Installation

Ring Clutch is used with Fleet Lift Anchor for lifting and handling of precast concrete panels. The Ring clutches are clearly matched to the anchors by compatible design as well as by marking the anchor types and load groups. Only matching components will fit together.

When the head of the lifting clutch inserted into the recess and anchor head, the bolt will lock down the anchor from the head of the lifting clutch. The lifting clutch casting head needs special head treatment to improve mechanical performance. 

1. The Ring Clutch is located directly over the head of a Fleet-Lift Anchor.

2. The ring clutch is pushed down onto the anchor head and the curved bolt is rotated through the engagement hole of the anchor and locked into position. The process of engaging the anchor and ring clutch is completed in seconds.

3. To disengage the anchor and ring clutch, simply pull the curved bolt free of the anchor. This allows the ring clutch to be easily removed from the head of the anchor.

4. Recommends a minimum ¾" cover between the bottom of an anchor and the concrete surface. This minimum recommended concrete cover is to prevent anchor corrosion.

5. Load line should be in line with the center of the bail, lifting from the top of the bail only. Bail should never contact the edge of concrete to avoid bending the bail.
