Reliable lifting and handling solutions for a variety of construction projects
Reliable lifting and handling solutions for a variety of construction projects
In the construction industry, especially in timber construction, the safe lifting, moving and positioning of all types of construction elements is of vital importance. Specialist lifting and load handling equipment plays a key role in this: not only do they enable easy handling of construction elements, they also contribute to safety and efficiency on construction sites. In addition, specially designed lifting equipment ensures that the load is evenly distributed during lifting and transport, minimising the risk of cracking and other damage to the material. This ensures the stability and integrity of the timber elements. The use of modern processes ensures that the transport systems have a high load-bearing capacity and are quick and easy to assemble.
Benefits of lifting and handling systems in the construction industry
Products for the safe lifting and transporting of various construction elements and loads offer numerous benefits on construction sites, which underline their important role in the construction industry. In the following section we will take a closer look at the many benefits of lifting and transport anchor systems in the construction industry.
Security
A key aspect of lifting and handling solutions is the safe handling of heavy loads. Lifting anchors and similar devices are specifically designed to safely lift heavy timber and other construction materials, ensuring both the physical integrity of the materials and the safety of construction workers. Modern lifting systems are fitted with appropriate safety devices and are designed to specific specifications to allow precise and controlled movements around the site. This not only reduces the risk of collision, tipping or falling loads, but also minimises the risk of workplace accidents.
Efficiency
The use of lifting and handling systems significantly supports and speeds up the construction process. Components of various types can be lifted and positioned more quickly and accurately, allowing them to be delivered and installed more quickly. This makes the construction process more efficient and reduces construction times in the long term. In addition, the logistical challenge of manually transporting materials is largely eliminated, which can reduce the workload on workers and increase their productivity.
Accessibility
Lifting and handling equipment is an essential tool for meeting the challenges of modern construction projects. They make it possible to work safely even in confined or difficult-to-access construction environments. In some cases, space is at a premium and material logistics are a challenge. Thanks to tools such as lifting anchors, construction elements can still be safely lifted by cranes and transported over obstacles so that all parts reach the desired location with precision. This is particularly beneficial in densely built-up urban areas, where limited space would otherwise be a constraint.
Quality assurance
By helping to protect materials, lifting and handling solutions play a vital role in quality assurance in the construction industry. When used professionally and correctly, material damage is prevented and the quality of the building elements is maintained. This is particularly important for sensitive materials such as timber, which can be easily damaged during transport. The use of transport and lifting anchors promotes the careful handling of materials during the construction process and achieves a high quality of finish.

Lifting anchor & Lifting Anchor Mini + ball support bolt
The HebeFix and HebeFix Mini lifting anchors offer a robust and safe solution for lifting, moving and transporting large and small timber elements. The lifting system consists of a robust lifting anchor and a steel ball lifting pin with a movable shackle and ensures maximum safety despite minimal assembly effort.
Specifications
- Easy to install
- Can be used in BSH and CLT
- Can be used multiple times with proper application and regular maintenance
Transport anchor system
The Lifting Anchor System consists of a Lifting Anchor and a matching Lifting Anchor Screw. It is used to safely and easily lift and transport all types of timber components.
Specifications
High load capacity
- Can be mounted in three ways to load the transport anchor bolt: Axial pull, diagonal pull and diagonal pull with precise milling of the coupling head.
Trilift lifting anchor
The Trilift lifting anchor provides an effective transport solution for the safe lifting and moving of CLT elements with a minimum thickness of 80 mm. It is used in conjunction with KonstruX fully threaded screw and takes advantage of the high pull-out resistance of the bolts.
Specifications
- Can be used from a wall/structure thickness of 80mm
- High load capacity despite small footprint
- Easy to install
Pick-& Pick MAX transport anchor
The Pick and Pick MAX transport anchors are used to lift wooden components such as plywood, plywood and solid wood. They are both supplied in a system case with additional accessories and can be attached to the lifting element in just a few simple steps. As no fixing screws are required, the visible quality of the wood surface is not damaged. In addition, thanks to the simple handling, no alignment of the lifting gear is required.
Specifications
- Payload up to 1,250 kg (Pick transport anchor) and 2,400 kg (Pick MAX transport anchor) per fixing point
- Service life of up to 16,000 load cycles (according to EN 13155:2020)
Pocket Traverse
The pocket spreader beam connects two load handling attachments, and its special geometry ensures even load distribution to each attachment point. It enables precise handling of different lifting elements and is suitable for complex requirements.
Specifications
- Hand-held and compact; easy to transport
- Can also be used as a levelling jack
- Load capacity up to 2,500kg
- Lifespan up to 16,000 load cycles
