MB DogBone System Technical Information
LIFTING BODY/CLUTCH MAINTENANCE
Meadow Burke recommends that users of the DogBone System schedule regular inspections to determine the safe usability of the lifting units. If any factor is present that may affect or compromise the safety performance of the unit, such as excess wear, overloading, misuse, alteration, application of heat, etc., the unit must be serviced or permanently removed from service. Under no circumstance should the unit be modified, heated, welded or filed. Do not attempt to straighten a bent eye link. Bent eye links should be replaced with a new eye link and new pivot pin. Replacement parts are available through your nearest Meadow Burke office.

ASSEMBLING THE DOGBONE PLASTIC RECESS
FORMER AND ANCHOR Recess formers and anchors can easily be assembled. Simply squeeze the recess former across the flat surface to open the recess former in a clamshell effect. Insert the anchor into the opening and release the pressure on the recess former. This allows the recess former to close around the head of the anchor and securely hold it in place.
DOGBONE PLASTIC RECESS FORMER STRIPPING
Once the form has been removed to expose the recess former, insert two small rods or two screw drivers into the two holes provided in the recess former. A scissoring action with the two implements will lift one side of the recess former. Grasp the lifted side of the recess former and pull the unit out of the concrete.
ASSEMBLING THE DOGBONE STEEL RECESS
FORMER AND ANCHOR Begin the assembly by placing a steel recess former grommet around the shaft of the anchor. Slide the grommet up against the head of the anchor and insert the anchor into the bottom of the steel recess former. Make certain that the grommet seals the hole in the recess former.

LIFTING CLUTCH INSTALLATION
Anchor attachment Turn the lifting clutch upside down, positioned and centered over the head of the anchor. Drop the lifting clutch down into the void formed by the recess former. Rotate the lifting unit around the head of the anchor until the unit contacts the surface of the concrete. Installation is complete, ready to lift.
Bail positioning Always position
the lifting cable directly over the lifting clutch to avoid alignment problems

MB DOGBONE ANCHORS USED IN THIN WALL SECTIONS
Care must be taken when locating anchors in thin wall sections. Improper installation and/or misalignment can seriously reduce the safe working load of the anchor. Anchors must be positioned on the centerline of the panel. Use rebar supports, spacers or tie the anchor to the rebar mat to make certain of proper positioning.

This sketch shows proper positioning of the anchor
on the centerline of the panel. This allows the full wall thickness to be used in the safe working load selection.
This sketch shows a misaligned, improperly positioned anchor. The actual edge distance (Te) is considerably reduced so there must be a corresponding reduction in the safe working load of the anchor.

Dog Bone
All DB-52 DogBone Anchors are manufactured from high quality, high strength steel. They are continually tested at a specified sampling rate during production and each anchor head is clearly marked with its safe working load. The accompanying table shows standard anchor sizes and safe working loads in various concrete strengths. Note that in some cases the anchor does not reach full capacity in the lower strength concretes. This is an important consideration when selecting the proper anchor application. In general, concrete strengths of 2,100 psi to 3,500 psi are necessary to develop stated anchor safe working loads. The safe working loads displayed in the table applies for any directional loading. Loading on the anchor can be perpendicular, horizontal or any angle in between.

2) No safety factors in this table have been reduced to achieve higher working loads. 3) 16 ton SWL are at full 4:1 safety factors in compliance with ACI 347 and OSHA. Complies with ASTM-572.
To order, specify: quantity, name, item number and finish.
In edge lift applications the DogBone Anchor must be used in combination with two properly installed shear bars. The shear bars (anchor and cup) transfer a portion of the shear stress back into the anchor and into the concrete panel. Note: in this application the sling angle must be perpendicular to the surface of the concrete.

MULTIPLE MB DOGBONE ANCHORS TENSILE CAPACITIES IN THIN WALL SECTIONS
When multiple anchors are placed in a thin wall panel, caution must be exercised to prevent the anchor shear cone planes from overlapping. If overlapping is unavoidable, the anchor safe working load must be reduced. If a spacing of six times the length of the anchor, or more, is maintained the anchor shear cones will not overlap and maximum tensile capacities can be achieved. Reference the following table. P

CONCRETE REDUCTION FACTORS
All safe working loads shown in this section are based on 4,500 psi strength concrete. For use in lower strength concrete apply the appropriate reduction factor. Multiply the calculated values from the following table by the appropriate reduction factor to arrive at the proper safe working load for the lower strength concrete. CONCRETE REDUCTION FACTORS DATA Concrete Strength PSI 4500 4000 3500 3000 2500 2000
