Precast Concrete Lifting Systems
Forged Erection Anchor w/ Shear Plate
A forged alloy steel erection anchor with integrated shear plate designed for high-load lifting of precast concrete panels in vertical, tilt-up, and angled applications. The shear plate is cast into the concrete surface and works with the anchor shaft to resist breakout and distribute shear forces, especially critical in thin panels or edge placements. Available in 3T, 6T, and 12T load capacities with plain, electrogalvanized, or hot-dip galvanized finishes. Meets international safety standards for precast lifting

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Standard cast anchor without shear plate | The shear plate significantly improves breakout resistance and shear load distribution, especially in thin or edge-mounted panels |
| Machined anchor | Forged construction offers better consistency and impact resistance than machined steel, with fewer internal defects |
| Screw-in anchor | The forged anchor with shear plate provides higher load capacity and better performance under angled lifting than typical screw-in types |
| Standard lifting eye | The shear plate enhances safety in edge or thin panel applications where a standard eye may fail under shear stress |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Forged Erection Anchor W
- Verify the stamped safe working load matches the calculated load, not the crane or winch rating
- Ensure the shear plate is fully embedded in the concrete and flush with the surface before casting
- Use only with compatible lifting clutches or eye hooks designed for the load class
- Inspect the anchor and shear plate for deformation or corrosion before each lift
- Avoid side loading or off-axis pulls that exceed the 3:1 safety factor
- Retire the anchor if the shaft shows bending, the shear plate is cracked, or the marking is unreadable

Answers
Forged Erection Anchor W FAQ
What is the purpose of the shear plate?
The shear plate is cast into the concrete surface and works with the anchor shaft to resist breakout and distribute shear forces, especially critical during angled or edge lifting.
Can this anchor be used in thin concrete panels?
Yes. The shear plate enhances breakout resistance, making it suitable for thin panels where concrete cover is limited.
What safety factor do these anchors have?
A standard 3:1 safety factor is applied, so the minimum breaking load is three times the stated safe working load.
What finishes are available?
Options include plain finish, electrogalvanized, and hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance in different environments.
Can you make custom lengths or shear plate sizes?
Yes. Custom anchor lengths, tail shapes, and shear plate sizes are available on request.
Are Material Test Certificates provided?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is supplied with each order.
How are they packed for export?
Standard packaging is cartons on pallets. Custom packing configurations are available to match your warehouse or shipping requirements.
