The Lifting Clutch for Erection Anchor is positioned in the recess surrounding the cast-in anchor and the locking latch is closed by hand, enabling the locking ring to engage with the anchor head. The lifting ring clutch is thus connected with the anchor in a matter of seconds. The lifting ring clutch can now be pulled in all directions to allow for lifting, rotating and pitching of the unit. There is no preferred direction. To release, open the latch and the ring clutch can be removed.
