Design Criteria

Press-Seal Gasket provides customized design guidelines to each precaster for the use of the lift system with their particular product line and designed for its theoretical load capacity for both tensile and shear forces.

The lift system works best when inserts are placed perpendicular to the wall with the lift parallel to the wall.  This method insures a safe lift and does not damage the product.  Special designs can be provided for product made with more than two lift inserts.

As a service to its customers, Press-Seal Gasket will determine recommended lift insert locations and maximum lift capacity for the system based on the product's geometric configuration and material properties.  When requested and supplied, these designs will incorporate appropriate safety factors for lifting devices, but obtaining critical manufacturing strengths and tolerances is outside of Press-Seal Gasket's capability and responsibility.  The precaster is advised that a four thousand psi minimum design concrete compressive strength is required and lift insert positioning are critical for the safe and successful performance of this system.


Manufacturing

The manufacturing process is simple and fast:

  • Place plastic insert over the assembly fixture
  • Lock in place
  • Install the combined fixture and insert in the casting form
  • Secure in place
  • Place concrete
  • Remove forms
Insert is now an integral part of the manhole and can be used for installation.


Use on any wet cast or dri-cast product


A complete Lift System Design and Installation Manual is available from Press-Seal Gasket Corporation for guidance and technical assistance in the proper placement of the inserts in the precast manufacturing process.


Installation

Manhole components are delivered to the field with all inserts installed and positioned for quick lifting and installation.
