Dog Bone Anchor

The Dog Bone anchor is a high-strength, economical, and low-profile insert for lifting and handling of precast concrete elements. The anchor utilizes forged spherical ends, one to prevent pullout under loading, and the other for lifting. The Dog Bone anchor utilizes an application-specific “Lifting Eye” to attach rigging to the anchor.

The Dog Bone lifting system is ideal for applications requiring quick connect/disconnect, rotation, and repeated handling use. The lifting eye consists of a spherical head that attaches to the dog bone anchor, and a quick connect bail that attaches to the rigging. A key feature is the quick connect bail that can rotate freely through 180º degrees under load. Additionally the spherical head on the top of the Dog Bone can rotate under load in the Lifting Eye Head.

Due to the dynamic nature of the lifting system, use of the Dog Bone anchor for thin slab panels or edge lifting is not recommended.
