For the determination of the right type, please take into account our general installation instructions. The
weight of 1.0ton results in 10kN.
* The dimensions H, b and B are values for orientation which can vary depending on the location of the xation band.
The rope diameter D is also a value for orientation and can vary depending on the rope construction.
On request the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops are available with a bearing capacity till 990kN.
The PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop can only be used for axial and diagonal loading. Lateral loading is inadmissible.
Higher bearing capacities are available from 280kN till 990kN in a special data sheet. Depending on the particular
transport case it is necessary to contact our technical department before using PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops
(280kN till 990kN).
For an individual consultation and work out of installation suggestions our technical hotline is available under +49 (0)
6021/ 4027-318 or technik@philipp-gruppe.de.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
OF PHILIPP CAST-IN LIFTING HOOPS

1. Material
PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops consist of steel wire rope wich is formed to a hoop by connecting the wire ends
with a cold-deformed pinch insert. The PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops are available in bright and galvanized
quality.
2. Application
Prior concreting the unit the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops are installed onto the mould. The installation of
PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops through the mould of the unit requires thereafter an appropriate sealing of the
mould. This is necessary to avoid imperfection of the anchorage of the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops. The
PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop has to be xed carefully at the reinforcement to avoid a moving during concreting.
If necessary additional reinforcement bars must be installed. It must be ensured that no bars are laid over the
ferrule (Picture 4). Different hooks can be used for the upper part which sticks out of the unit.
3. Marking
To have a visual differentiation of the different types the PHILIPP
Cast-in Lifting Hoops are marked with a coloured capacity sign. It
must be visible after concreting the unit. The capacity sign can be
xed at the out sticking parts very easily due to its worked in ns.
The capacity signs of the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops include
the following data:
Manufacturer:
Bearing Capacity:
Year of manufacturing:

PHILIPP
4000kg
2007
Picture 2

4. Application Restrictions
During stocking the precast units the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops must not be snapped off in an inadmissible
way.
Stocking the precast units outside can lead to a reduction of the corrosion resistance. In case of corrosion the
transport of precast units with the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops is inadmissible
The aluminium ferrules must not be installed close to the surface. The concrete cover upon the ferrule has to be
determined using the following equation:
cferrule  1-2 * cmin (acc.to. DIN 1045-1 Section 6 and Table 4)
Concretes and mortars with very high chloride percentage should not be used for the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting
Hoop with aluminium ferrules.
For this application a ferrule made from steel is more suitable and can be delivered by PHILIPP. A very high
chloride percentage exists if the values given in the German Standard DIN 206-1 and DIN 1045-2 are exceeded.
Furthermore the DIHT-guide line 97 must be taken into account.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
OF PHILIPP CAST-IN LIFTING HOOPS

During the use of PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop the following points must be taken into account:
- the use of destroyed PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops with wire break, crushes, buckling and corrosion is
inadmissible
- contact of the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop with acid and brine must be avoided
- the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop must not be loaded by diagonal tension with an inclination of  30 (Picture 4)
- The recess for the hook must be chosen in a way that during hook up of PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop no
inadmissible lever arm occurs.
5. Safety Advice
The transition radius of the load hooks must comply with rope diameter
of the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop (Picture 3). The use of too small,
too big or too sharp edged load hooks leads to an earlier replacement
state. Welding or other strong heat inuences on the PHILIPP Cast-in
Lifting Hoop are inadmissible.
In case of the use of shackles the pin diameter must not be
smaller than twice the rope diameter. For higher load bearing
capcities we recomand a bold diameter which is not smaller
than 5 times of the rope diameter.
Picture 3

6. Reinforcement
For installation of the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop the concrete units need to have a minimum surface
reinforcement (Table 2).
An already existing static-structural reinforcement may be taken into account on requested minimum
reinforcement acc. to Table 2.
This minimum reinforcement can be replaced by comparable stirrups with longitudinal reinforcement. At rst time of
lifting the concrete strength must be 15 N/mm.
Should it be necessary to cut out single bars for installation of PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop, they have to be
replaced by bars with equal diameter, strength and sufcient overlapping length according to DIN 1045-1. The user
is personally responsible for further transmission of load into the unit.

7. Axis Distance, Edge Distance, Thickness of the Unit

To ensure a safe load transfer, the installation and positioning of the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop minimum
dimensions and minimum axis distances are required. The unit thicknesses d given in Table 3 cover axial and diagonal
loading and are valid for parallel and vertical installation of the PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoop. The reduced unit
thicknesses dred are only valid for a concrete strength of 30 N/mm2. On use of PHILIPP Cast-in Lifting Hoops it must
be considered that the values e and f comply with the values from Table 3.
