FRIMEDA TRANSPORT ANCHOR SYSTEM
CONCRETE
The FRIMEDA Transport Anchor

System is a safe, easily handled
system, with the added benefit that it
can readily be established visually
whether the system is operational.
As with all lifting systems, the safe use
of our system depends on a thorough
knowledge of how to select and use
the individual system com-ponents.
This dimensioning aid and operating
manual supplies all the necessary data
and information, arranged in order of
use during the construction process. If
used properly, our system will always
guarantee that precast concrete units
can be handled in a safe and simple
manner.
Software support
To facilitate your choice of anchor and
anchor dimensions, we supply the
dimensioning program "TPA-WIN"
free of charge. Please visit our website
www.halfen-deha.com to download
our software. Once the desired anchor
type, the dimensions of the unit and
the handling conditions (lifting beam,
angled pull, etc.) have been entered,
the program determines the appropriate anchor and the additional
reinforcement. Scale drawings and
parts lists can be printed out.
Technical advice
The staff of our technical offices and
our specialists in the field will be glad
to advise you on how to deal with
problematic applications. Consult the
back page of this catalogue for the
addresses.

FRIMEDA's Transport Anchor System
consists of a steel anchor placed in
concrete and a lifting hook (ring
clutch).
The precast concrete element is raised
and transported by means of a ring
clutch which locks into the cast-in
anchor. The design of the ring clutches
and anchors permits a pulling load
from any direction. The ring clutches
can be released either by hand
directly at the clutch head, or by
remote control.

The load groups system

The FRIMEDA Transport Anchor
System components are classified by
load groups. Each load group corresponds to the load limit of a ring
clutch to which anchors with various
rated loads are allocated. The allocation of rated loads to load groups and
ring clutches is shown in the adjacent
table. Anchors and ring clutches cannot be mismatched, that is to say that
a ring clutch cannot be assembled
with an anchor of a different load

Load ranges 0,7 t to 22,0 t
Spread anchor TPA-FS
The spread anchor is very versatile. It

provides an efficient anchorage in
both thin panels and slabs. For special
applications additional reinforcement
can be combined with the spread
anchor by utilising the extra hole.
Two hole anchorr TPA-FZ
The head of the two hole anchor is

identical to the head of the spread
anchor. The anchorage in concrete is
achieved by means of a reinforcement
tail. Longer anchors with additional
holes can be produced on request.

Erection anchor TPA-FA / Unilateral

erection anchor TPA-FE (fig.)
Load ranges 1,4 t to 22 t

The special shaped anchor head
means that that the pitching/turning
loads are taken by the anchor and not
to the concrete. This helps to prevent
spalling of the concrete. The anchors
are notched to assist with the placement of additional reinforcement
required in the pitching/turning
operation.
Double ended column anchor TPA-FD
Load ranges 2,5 t to 22.0 t

This anchor is identical to the head of
the two hole anchor. It was specially
developed for the erecting of columns
or similar construction elements.
Special lengths can be made to order.

Dimensioning
Safety rules
Deadweight
Dynamic forces
A lift system consists of a cast-in

anchor and a ring clutch which is
attached temporarily. Both parts must
be strong, durable and from the same
supplier.
The German main association of the
industrial employers liability
insurance (Hauptverband der gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaften)
published "Safety rules for transport
anchors and transport-anchor systems
for precast concrete elements"
("Sicherheitsregeln fr Transportanker
und -systeme von Betonfertigteilen")
which represents the general standard
rules for precast in Germany.
The mass (G) of a precast reinforced

concrete unit can be determined using
When a precast unit is moved by lifting gear, dynamic forces which

depend considerably on the type of
lifting gear used are generated. These
are taken into account in dimensioning, through the lifting load coefficient f. Lifting load coefficients to
DIN15018 are summarised in the
following table.
These safety rules require the following safety against rupture:

Breaking of the steel compon.: g = 3
Breaking of concrete:
g = 2,5
Breaking of cable wires:
g=4
To guarantee a safe application of the

FRIMEDA Transport Anchor System,
this manual has to be at hand when
using the system.
Load capacity
The load capacity of the anchor
depends on:
- The strength of the concrete at
the time of lifting/transporting
- The embedded depth of the anchor
- The edge distance and spacings of
the anchors
- The load direction
- The arrangement of reinforcements
The force acting on the anchor is
determined according to the following
load assumptions:
a density of g =25 kN/m.
G = Total weight of the precast unit

Adhesion to mould
Adhesion forces between the mould
and the concrete vary according to
the type of mould used. The following
may be taken as a guide:
Oiled steel mould
q = 1 kN/m
Varnished timber mould q = 2 kN/m
Rough timber mould
q = 3 kN/m
The value (Ha) of adhesion to the
mould is thus calculated by the following equation:
Ha = q x A
Higher adhesion to the mould is to be

expected for double T-slabs and coffered units. For ease of calculation, a
multiple of the mass is used:
Double T-slabs
Coffered units
Ha = 2 x G
Ha = 4 x G
Adhesion to the mould should be

minimised before lifting out of the
mould by removing as many parts of
the mould as possible.

Lifting load coefficients of f = 1,1 to

1.3 are to be expected for cranes with
precision lifting, such as those used in
manufacturing plants and on construction sites. The application of a
lifting load coefficient for lifting out of
the mould at the manufacturing plant
is unnecessary if a suitably cautious
approach is adopted.
Care must be taken when transporting
suspended precast units over uneven
terrain. In the interests of safety, a
lifting load coefficient of f > 2 should
be used.
Total load
The total load of the precast unit for
dimensioning the anchor is determined as follows:
1. During lifting:
V 1 = G + Ha
2. During transporting:
A is the area of contact between
the mould and the unit before lifting.

Dimensioning
Asymmetrical anchor arrangement
Transport without spreader beam
Note:
If the arrangement of the anchors is

asymmetrical in relation to the centre
of gravity, the load of the individual
anchors must be calculated using the
rod method.
If no spreader beam is used, the cable

angle depends on the length of the
suspending cable. The resulting horizontal component increases the tensile force on the anchor by a further
factor:
To avoid tilting of the unit during

transport, the load should be suspended from the spreader beam
such that its centre of gravity S is
directly below the crane hook.
Unequal anchor loads when the suspension points are not symmetrical in
relation to the centre of gravity:

If no spreader beam is used during

transport, the anchors must be embedded symmetrically to the load.
Fb
S = centre of

d =2x b
The load will always balance under

the crane hook. If the anchors are in
an asymmetrical arrangement, the
load of each anchor is calculated as
follows:

F b = V tot x

For a symmetrical arrangement, the
tensile force on the anchor is:
F = z x Vtot / n
n = number of load-bearing anchors
(see also section "Multiple slings",
page 10)

Multiple slings
For a beam with more than two suspension points and for a panel with
more than three, it is impossible to
work out the load per anchor precisely, even if the anchors are
arranged symmetrically to the load
centre. As a result of unavoidable
tolerances in the suspension system
and in the position of the anchors, it
can never be determined whether
the load on each anchor is equal.
The use of tolerance-compensating

suspension systems (e.g. articulated
lifting beam combinations, multiple
slings with compensating rig, etc.)
permits exact load distribution, but
should only be used by experienced
specialists, moreover bearing in
mind that such a system must be
used both in plant and on site. In
case of doubt, only two anchors
should be assumed to be load-
bearing (see the german safety code

UVV 18.4 VBG 9a).
The use of two anchors is recommended for trusses and upright
slabs, and four anchors installed
symmetrically to the load centre is
recommended for horizontal slabs.
In both instances, it can be assumed
that two anchors will be bearing
equal loads.
For an arrangement of four independent cable runs or continous diagonal

cable runs, only two anchors can be
assumed to be load-bearing.
A perfect static weight distribution

can be obtained by the use of a
spreader beam and two pairs of
anchors set out symmetrically.
Examples:
The use of three anchors ensures that
the static load ist shared evenly.

With 2 supporting anchors, the angled pull force F per anchor is as follows:
Lifting at the plant:
F = (G + q x A) x f x z/n
F = (100 kN + 2 kN/m2 x 20 m2 ) x 1,0 x 1,04/2 = 72,8 kN
Transport at the plant:
F = G x f x z/n
F = 100 kN x 1,1 x 1,04/2 = 57,2 kN
Transport on the constr. site:
F = G x f x z/n
F = 100 kN x 1,4 x 1,41/2 = 98,7 kN

An anchor in the 10 t load range is just adequate.
If all detrimental factors were superimposed, the result would be
F = (100 kN + 20 m2 x 2 kN/m 2 ) x 1,4 x 1,41/2 = 138 kN

i.g.. an anchor in the load range 14 t would have to be used.
Adhesion to mould
The loads occurring on site are often higher than in the manufacturing plant as a
result of greater cable spread and possibly higher lifting force coefficients. In this
instance, it is beneficial that the concrete's strength is usually likewise higher, and
that the anchor's load capacity in the concrete is thus higher.
In the above example, the result for a TPA-FS (see p. 16) would be as follows:
At the manufacturing plant (w = 15 N/mm, cable angle 15):
Angled pull 15 < 30
=> full permissible load at angled pull, even with
w= 15N/mm
Lifting load
On the construction site (w= 35 N/mm, cable angle 45):

Angled pulll 45 > 30
=> full permissible load at angled pull for concrete
strength of w = 35 N/mm > 23N/mm, with
angled pull reinforcement

No angled pull reinforcement is needed:

- for concrete strength of b W 25 N/mm2 + 2,5-fold minimum thickness of units
For other concrete strengths, the length L Z of the

additional reinforcement tail for pull may be reduced
in relation to the permissible bond stress
(bW = 25 N/mm2 : x 0,8; bW = 35 N/mm2 : x 0,65).
Please consult us if the concrete strength is lower or if
lightweight concrete is used

GARAGE ANCHOR TPA-FG

Anchor dimensions
This anchor is designed for special applications, such as thin

floors of prefabricated garages. The plate anchor with
erection anchor head permits high angled pull for handling
units in areas with a very restricted access height. In the
case of axial and angled pull at < 45 (spread of cable
<90), the permissible loads as per the table must be
reduced by 50 %. The concrete strength must be at least
W 25 N/mm2.

The anchor is capped with the appropriate recess former at

both ends. The assembly of anchor and recess formers is
then pushed between the reinforcement bars and fastened
to the mould at both ends. The additional reinforcement
bars are then pushed through the holes of the anchor and
wired into place.
The diameter of the reinforcement tails is the same as for

UNIVERSAL ANCHOR TPA-FU 1,25 - 12

Load capacity, anchor and installation dimensions, reinforcement
Erection and transport anchors have to be adapted to meet
the specific requirements of handling very thin precast
concrete units (e.g. balcony parapet panels). The FRIMEDA
universal anchor TPA-FU 1.25-12 has been designed for this
specific application, and is ideal for lifting, turning and
transporting units in the above situation.

Recess filler TPA-V1 / Cover plate TPA-V2 for anchor recess
Recess filler TPA-V1
(Polystyrene)
If precast concrete units are stored

outdoors for any length of time, we
recommend the use of our recess
fillers.
Fitting the recess filler

The recess filler is very easy to install.
It is simply fitted over the anchor and
pressed into the recess.
The polystyrene recess filler is used to

seal off or fill the anchor recess in the
precast concrete. It protects the
anchor against corrosion and prevents
water from collecting in the recess
(this could otherwise result in icing-up
in cold weather).
The recess filler can be used either as
a seal for transport and storage, or as
a permanent seal once assembly and
erection are completed. The recess
filler is supplied in the corresponding
four load groups and suitable for all
recess formers of the load group.

Application
Removing the mould sections
Fitting the ring clutch
Assembly
Before lifting the precast concrete

unit, as many sections of the mould as
possible should be removed in order
to minimise adhesion to the mould.
Inadequate demoulding is the most
common cause of flaking of the
precast concrete unit or of anchor
failure. The forces acting on the lifting
system may be several times the
actual weight of the precast unit.
To transport an element, the appropriate ring clutch for the load group is
inserted over the anchor head in the
concrete recess. The load ranges are
mismatch-proof.
A major advantage of the FRIMEDA

Rapid Lift System is that the slinging
devices (ring clutches) remain
attached to the crane hook, and do
not need to be transported by hand.
The ring clutch can be released
manually by pushing back the locking
bolt once the device is off-load.
Only matching components

will fit together!

Locking the ring clutch
Erecting slabs without tilting table
The ring clutch is positively locked by

a simple hand-operated movement of
the locking bolt. The resulting
connection is safe, and the ring clutch
is free to move in any direction. The
precast element can now be lifted out
of the mould and transported safely to
its point of storage.
The FRIMEDA Rapid Lift System can be

used to move flat-manufactured precast
units from a horizontal to a vertical
position. The direction of pull is at rightangles to the built-in anchor. To avoid
flaking of the concrete, the erection
anchor TPA-FA should be properly
embedded in the unit. The use of crossbeams when lifting is recommended, in
order to avoid torsional forces.

To demould the recess former, two

rods are inserted in the holes in the
recess former, which is then levered
out by scissors action. This technique
will guarantee a long life time for the
recess former. Attempting to remove
the recess former using the tip of a
carpenter's hammer will destroy it.

The marking of the clutch heads is the
same for all types. It subsists of:
-Quality mark "FRIMEDA"
-Factory code,e.g. "81"
-Load capacity,e.g. "3,0-5,0 t" (Load
group)
Additionally, on the reverse side the
position of the locking bolt is signed
"A - Z" ("open - close").
The quality mark (F), the type designation (e.g. R1) and production date
(month/year) are imprinted on the
shackle (Type R1, F1 and F2) alternatively, on the aluminium clips of the
cable wires (Type R2 und R3). Example: "F - R1 - 10/93".
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.

RING CLUTCHES
Ring clutch TPA-F1 with pneumatic remote-control release
Operating principle
Operating sequence
The pneumatically operated remotecontrol release mechanism has been

designed as an alternative to the
manual release for distances of more
than 10 metres.
On the pneumatic version, the locking
bolt is pulled back by compressed air.
A one-way cylinder is installed on the
clutch for this purpose. The compressed air (max. 7 bar) can be
supplied by any suitable source, e.g.
the site compressor or a portable unit.
The hand valve in the feed line to the
ring clutch can be opened by a key
(Totmanns safety handle system). Any
number of branches can be fitted
downstream of it, depending on the
number of ring clutches used.
The ring clutch is inserted in the

concrete recess and closed by actuating the locking bolt. The precast unit
can now be lifted. To disengage the
clutch, for example after installation
of concrete columns, compressed air
is fed via the hand valve to the
cylinder so that the locking bolt is
moved back to open the clutch. There
is no risk of unintentional release, as
the locking bolt remains closed in the
event of failure of the compressed air
supply. The system uses an air cylinder
which will not release the bolt if it is
holding a load greater than 0.2 t. The
hand valve admits the compressed air
supply only if the key is turned in the
direction of the arrow and held in the
open position.
As soon as the key is released, even if

still in the keyhole, the valve is closed
automatically. It is recommended that
the lines to the cylinders be installed
in the crane or crane jib, to ensure
satisfactory operation. If the
compressed air is fed to the precast
unit directly from ground level, the
hoses between the compressor and
remote control may only be
connected up when it is time to
release the clutch; e.g. when the
column is in position.
Ring clutches with remote-control

release have the same markings as
manual ring clutches.

RING CLUTCHES
TPA-F2 mit manual remote control by Bowden cable
Operating princple
The remote-control release disengages
the ring clutch from a safe distance of
up to 10 metres. The release mechanism consists basically of a Bowden
cable connected to the locking bolt of
the ring clutch. At the opposite end,
the release handle is locked in a tube
by means of a safety hook. All TPA-F2
clutch heads in the various load
groups have the same M27 thread,
i.e. the remote-control mechanism fits
any clutch head. The opening and
closing mechanism, comprising the
locking bolt, the shackle with indicator and the slide, are parts of the
complete clutch head.

on page 49.
Operation of the manual remotecontrol

To disengage the ring clutch, the
handle is disengaged by pressing and
turning. Unintentional release is not
possible. For safety and efficiency
reasons, the locking bolt is closed by
hand. The remote device is designed
such that the locking bolt cannot be
closed at a distance.
Load group [t]
The flexible tube can withstand reasonable tension and compression loads,
so that the precast unit can easily be
handled. The ring clutches of all the
load groups can be used with any of
the manual remote-control releases of
lengths 2.5 m, 5.0 m, 7.5 m and
10.0m.

In common with all lifting devices,

remote-control mechanisms must be

If the shackle is pulled towards the

top surface of the slab when subjected to the load, it may become bent
on the edge of the slab
In the upper position, the shackle may

lock within the clutch housing. A narrow lifting cable angle will cause the
shackle to become bent. The problem
can be overcome by turning the shackle through approx. 45 (lower drawing).

Checking lifting devices / spare parts
In common with all lifting devices, the operating safety of ring clutches must be checked at least once a year by an expert for
an operational safety. There is no fixed time period for the withdrawal from use of a FRIMEDA Ring clutch. Any deformation
of a locking bolt means that an overload of at least three times the permitted load has occurred. Worn locking bolts can be
exchanged; no other repairs are permitted. We explicitly warn against the mixing of different companys products. The integrity of the wire ring clutch can only be guaranteed when using the original wire cables or approved replacements installed by
HALFEN. To check FRIMEDA Ring clutches the following criterions have to be observed:
Locking bolt
Clutch head
Wire cables (TPA-R2/R3)
Ring clutches with worn or bent

locking bolts must be taken out of
use. Tolerances on dimensions acc. to
table below.
If the clutch head is deformed or the

mouth opening is enlarged, the ring
clutch has to be withdrawn and can
not be repaired. Tolerances on dimensions as shown in the table below.
Wire cables should be checked for the

following defects:
- Kinking and buckling
- One braid broken
- Slackening of the outermost exposed
layer on free length
- Crushing on free lengths
- Crushing at the eyes contact point
with more than 4 ruptured wires on
braided cables, or more than 10
ruptured wires on cablelaid rope
- Corrosion marks
- Damage or severe wear to the cable
connector or cable-end connector
- High number or ruptured wires
The cable must be taken out of use if
