The most versatile of the anchors, the Spread Anchors are suitable for lifting most types of beams, wall panels and slabs. The second hole provides the option to use extra reinforcement where required.
Spread Anchors are manufactured from high grade steel and are available in safe working loads from 0.7t to 26.0t.
Kbear Metal Spread Anchors are available in black, zinc plated, galvanized steel or stainless steel. Special sizes and hole positions are available to order. All Spread Anchors are rigorously tested, inspected and are supplied with Declarations of Conformity with each order, along with safe working instructions where applicable.

Selecting the Correct Spread Anchor Selection of the correct Spread Anchor
- Firstly the safe working load of the Spread Anchor itself and its ability to carry the unit in question, under all relevant loading conditions at the time of lifting. These include, weight of the unit, demoulding forces, dynamic loading, the number of effective lifting points and increased tension in angled lifting slings.
- Secondly, the strength of the surrounding concrete and its ability to resist pull out forces induced upon it by the lifting system. This can be influenced by several factors, such as, the compressive strength of the concrete, the Spread Anchor length, edge distances, the distance between adjacent Spread Anchors and the ability of thin panels to resist compressive loads damaging the faces.
The Advantages of the Spread Anchor
- No fuss engage and release mechanism: Allows precast concrete units to be handled quickly and economically, particularly for repeated operations.
- Lever-operated locking mechanism: Prevents accidental release of the concrete unit and provides a clear visual indication of correct engagement.
- Avoids the need for threaded socket systems: Eliminates the use of wire ropes and the associated precautions.
- Durability: Lacks easily wearing parts, offering long-term use with minimal maintenance.
- Specific testing procedures: All lifting components undergo rigorous testing to ensure reliability.
- Batch testing of anchors: Ensures consistent quality across all anchor sizes.
- Individually tested clutches: Each Spread Anchor Ring Clutch is uniquely tested and stamped with a corresponding lifting certificate for traceability.
