Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct Manhole Lifting Pin is designed for professionals in construction and utility work, enabling the safe and efficient lifting, installation, and positioning of pre-cast concrete rings and manhole chambers. Its primary benefit is the secure and streamlined lifting process, significantly reducing manual effort and risk. A key caveat is that the stated Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1500KG is only applicable when the pins are used in pairs, never as a single unit. This guide covers its robust construction, essential features, and practical application.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of this lifting pin?

The stated Safe Working Load is 1500KG, but this is *only* applicable when the pins are used in pairs. Never use a single pin for lifting.

Can I use a single lifting pin for lighter loads?

No, the product is designed and tested for paired use. Using a single pin is unsafe and not recommended.

What materials are the lifting pins made from?

They are manufactured from steel for strength and durability, featuring a galvanised finish for rust and corrosion resistance.

What is the maximum thickness of concrete wall this pin can accommodate?

The pin is designed to fit through a maximum wall thickness of 180MM.

How do I attach the lifting equipment to the pin?

You would typically use a lifting sling or shackle that securely fits through the 50MM eye diameter on the pin.

How should I maintain the lifting pins?

Regularly inspect for damage or corrosion. Clean after use and store in a dry location. Address any significant rust or damage promptly.

What are the overall dimensions of the pin?

The pin has an overall length of 430MM and a diameter of 35MM. The eye diameter is 50MM.

Troubleshooting

Pin does not fit securely into the manhole ring.

Verify the manhole ring's designated hole dimensions match the pin's 35MM diameter and the wall thickness does not exceed 180MM. Ensure no debris is obstructing the hole.

Lifting sling attachment seems loose.

Use a shackle or sling eyelet that properly fits the 50MM eye diameter of the pin. Ensure the attachment method is rated for the load and is securely fastened.

Visible rust or corrosion on the pin.

Minor surface rust can often be cleaned off with a wire brush. If corrosion is deep or compromises the pin's integrity, the pin should be replaced immediately.
