Ground Release II Lifting Hardware
Ground Release II Lifting hardware unit offers you, the tilt-up contractor, the latest and easiest to use tilt-up lifting hardware unit on
the market today! This new lifting hardware unit is a simplified design and when combined with our Ground Release II Insert provides
you with a superior system for the quick and efficient erection of tilt-up concrete wall panels.
● Bail will accept all conventional crane attachments. Unit moves
easily as it follows line of action of crane cable.
● Lifting Body attaches to head of insert. Whenever diagonal loads
are applied to the bail, the result is a combination of a compressive
load applied to the concrete and a tension load applied to the insert.
● Release Line is a ½" hollow braided Polyethylene Cord of sufficient
length to reach the ground.
● SWL is 15,000 lbs with an approximate factor of safety of 5 to 1.
Ground Release II Insert
The Ground Release II System is a unique method of tilting concrete tilt-up wall panels into position and allows the
hardware to be easily released from the ground. Ladders are normally not required during the hardware release
process which greatly increases worker safety and productivity.
Features of the Ground Release II Insert:
● Flexible Plastic Antenna folds over when screed passes, but
springs back to indicate insert location.
● Plastic Recess Plug creates a void for attaching the Ground
Release II Lifting Hardware to the insert head. The expendable
plastic recess plug is easily removed from the hardened concrete.
● Directional Label indicates correct panel thickness and direction
of plastic recess plug in relation to top and bottom of panel.
● Ground Release II Anchor. This hot forged anchor permits rapid
hardware attachment and allows smooth rotation of the hardware
during the releasing operation.
● Plastic Support Base is designed to provide maximum support
and stability for the Ground Release II Anchor and eliminates any
potential rust problems.
● Ground Release II Inserts are shipped assembled, ready to use
and are sized 1/8" less than panel thickness.
SWL provides a safety factor of approximately 2 to 1 in 2,500 psi normal weight concrete.
Consult manufacturers data on values on shear and reduced edge distance.
