Custom Lifting Clutches for Precast Concrete: Safe and Reliable Handling Solutions

May 22, 2025

Precast concrete construction continues to grow in popularity across Europe and the Middle East due to its speed, durability, and reduced labor costs. But with heavy components like wall panels, beams, and staircases, safe and efficient lifting solutions are critical. That’s where lifting clutches come in.

At EATHU, we specialize in OEM lifting clutch manufacturing for precast concrete applications. Our products are designed for safety, reliability, and full compatibility with spherical head anchor systems—engineered specifically to meet the demands of modern construction projects.


 What Is a Lifting Clutch?


A lifting clutch is a reusable metal device that allows cranes or hoists to connect to a spherical-head anchor embedded in a precast concrete element. It provides a secure, quick-release connection during lifting, transport, and installation of concrete components.

When paired with a properly installed anchor, the clutch ensures safe load transfer without damaging the concrete. It’s a critical safety tool for any precast construction site.

Key Features of a High-Quality Precast Lifting Clutch


When selecting or sourcing lifting clutches, you should look for:

1. High Strength Materials

Our clutches are made from high-grade alloy steel or cast steel, ensuring long service life and excellent resistance to impact and fatigue.

2. Certified Load Safety

EATHU lifting clutches are designed with a safety factor of ≥ 4, fully tested according to international lifting standards.

3. Precision Fit with Anchor Heads

Our designs ensure perfect engagement with spherical head anchors of different diameters (1.3T, 2.5T, 5T, 10T, and more), preventing slippage or misalignment during lifting.

4. User-Friendly Design

Quick connect and disconnect mechanism, no tools required—ideal for rapid site operation and increased worker safety.

5. Surface Finishing & Color Coding

Galvanized, painted, or powder-coated surfaces available. Color coding helps indicate load class at a glance on-site.
