Simen Precast, a leading provider of high-performance precast concrete accessories, is proud to introduce its latest innovation: the Off-Set Head Transport Anchor. Designed to address the unique challenges of lifting and transporting three-layer and sandwich panels, this anchor combines precision engineering, robust materials, and safety-focused design to streamline construction workflows.

Crafted from high-grade steel and finished with hot-dip galvanizing for exceptional corrosion resistance, the anchor features a distinctive curved “offset” geometry that positions the lifting point directly above the panel’s center of gravity—even when installed at slab edges. This critical design minimizes stress concentrations in the concrete, eliminates unbalanced pulls, and reduces the risk of panel cracking during lifting, making it ideal for partially cured or thin-walled precast elements.

With load capacities ranging from 1.3 tons to 20 tons and compliance with ISO 9001 and CE standards, the anchor delivers reliable performance across diverse applications. It is particularly suited for precast concrete sandwich panels, facade elements, and multi-layer slabs, where edge-mounted anchors are required to avoid interference with panel insulation or finishing layers. The forged disc-shaped foot ensures a secure bond within concrete, while the spherical head enables smooth engagement with standard lifting clutches, allowing for quick, tool-free installation and release on-site.
