The H-Lift Grade 80 Precast Concrete Lifting Clutch LTC Type is a high-strength lifting device engineered to connect safely to compatible precast anchors for handling concrete panels, beams, and slabs on site.
Provides a secure lifting point for hoisting and positioning precast concrete elements
Designed and tested to specific load capacities for safe lifting operations
Quick-connecting clutch engages with matching recess anchors in the concrete
Requires correct selection, installation, and regular inspection for continued safe use
LTC Type Ring Clutch | For Spherical Head Anchors | 1.3T - 20T
The LTC Type Lifting Clutch (also known as a Ring Clutch) is a specialized rigging device designed for lifting and transporting precast concrete elements. Engineered to engage safely with cast-in Spherical Head Anchors (pin anchors), it provides a secure, fail-safe connection for panels, columns, pipes, and slabs.
🔗 Anchor Compatibility
Specifically designed to lock onto Spherical Head Anchors (Dog Bone/Pin Anchors) cast into concrete. The clutch head slides over the anchor and locks into the spherical recess.
🛡️ Fail-Safe Design
Features a locking mechanism that prevents spontaneous disengagement while under load at any orientation. Rated with a 4:1 Safety Factor and 100% Magnaflux crack detected.
🏗️ Grade 80 Alloy
Manufactured from high-strength Grade 80 Alloy Steel, quenched and tempered. Complies with EN 1677 standards for lifting components.
⚖️ Wide Range
Standard range available in Working Load Limits (WLL) from 1.3 Tonnes up to 20 Tonnes, covering the vast majority of precast concrete applications.
ℹ️ Matching System: Ensure the capacity of the clutch matches the capacity of the anchor head cast into the concrete (e.g., use a 3-5T clutch for a 3-5T anchor group).

Q: What anchors does the LTC Lifting Clutch fit?A: The LTC Type clutch is a "Ring Clutch" designed to fit Spherical Head Anchors (also known as Pin Anchors or Dog Bone Anchors). The clutch head slides over the anchor head and locks into the spherical recess.
Q: How do I select the correct size lifting clutch?A: The clutch capacity must match the capacity of the anchor cast into the concrete. For example, a 3-5 Tonne clutch (Item 8-LTC-050) is designed to fit anchors rated for 3 to 5 tonnes. The capacity is usually stamped on both the anchor head and the clutch handle.
