OPERATION - SwiftLift™ Clutches
1. SwiftLift Clutch is attached to the
SwiftLift anchor by;
• lowering the clutch slot over
the anchor
• then rotation the clutch tab
until it rests on the concrete
surface
2. As the load is raised, the
anchor takes the full load of
tension

OPERATION - SwiftLift™ Clutches
3. As the panel rotates to the vertical
position, the clutch comes in contact
with the concrete surface;
• this transfers the lifting force into
the concrete
• the anchor prevents the clutch from
slipping out of the void
4. Lifting away from the tab
is also safe provided the
tab does not rise more
than 30°from the
concrete surface
