Lifting Eye Anchor (Dogbone) – Secure Lifting Solution for Precast Concrete

The lifting eye anchor, also called a dogbone anchor, is a trusted and widely used component in precast concrete lifting systems, particularly for the vertical lifting of thin precast panels, slabs, and blocks. Designed with a looped or “eye” head and a wide anchoring foot, the anchor provides strong load transfer while ensuring safe lifting during manufacturing, transportation, and on-site installation.

This anchor type is embedded directly into the concrete during casting. Once cured, it can be engaged by a lifting clutch or hook, forming a secure lifting point that complies with load-bearing safety requirements. It is an ideal solution for applications where minimal concrete cover or limited space requires a compact but high-strength anchor.

Technical Specifications

Custom sizes and special anchoring feet (such as rebar anchors) available upon request.

Key Features of Lifting Eye Anchor

• Eye Loop Design: Simple and strong, compatible with most lifting hooks or clutches

• Thin Panel Friendly: Ideal for lifting narrow or thin precast components

• High Load Bearing: Available from 1.3T to 20T+ load capacities

• Durable Material: Forged or cast steel with excellent tensile performance

• Multiple Surface Finishes: Plain, hot-dip galvanized, or zinc-plated for corrosion resistance

• Wide Application Use: Suitable for civil engineering, modular building, and infrastructure projects

Applications of Lifting Eye Anchor

• Vertical lifting of precast concrete walls and panels

• Handling of modular building elements

• Transportation of thin or narrow concrete units

• Temporary lifting points for molds or structures

• Projects with limited edge spacing

How It Works:

The lifting eye anchor is embedded into the concrete with its wide foot creating secure mechanical anchorage. After curing, the loop head is exposed and ready for lifting. A compatible lifting clutch or hook is used to connect to the eye, making the lifting process quick and secure.

Compared to threaded or spherical anchors, the eye anchor offers a simpler, all-in-one solution especially suited for lighter to medium weight elements and projects where ease of use is a priority.
