Ancon EdjPro EPA04 Edge Lifting System
The EdjPro EPA04 Edge Lifting System is the smallest anchor in the EdjPro range. The narrow system
components provide a Working Load (WLL) of 4 tonnes in tension for panels as thin as 100mm.
All components are designed around the thin EPA04 anchor to provide the maximum possible concrete
cover while ensuring the required clearance to the surrounding concrete. This avoids concrete spalling

 Ancon EPHIMini and EPHIMax Lifting Systems
The Ancon EdjPro EPHI range offers ultra-slim, high load edge lifting solutions for
thin precast concrete elements. Our range has been specifically designed for the
Australian construction industry and comprises the EdjPro EPHIMax, which allows
two-point lifts of precast panels of up to 21.7 tonnes, and the EdjPro EPHIMini
which is suitable for panels up to 12.3 tonnes when lifted with 2 anchors and
incorporating a sling angle of 60 .

How EdjPro Systems Prevent Cracks
Conventional flat-head systems can spall edges. Ancon EdjPro lifting systems provide fast, clean, safe connections in all directions including clutch
and anchor concrete clearance.

Conventional flat-head anchor systems

Conventional Conventional clutch has a round locking ring Rotation causes the side of the clutch to

Ancon EdjPro Anchor Systems comply with AS 3850.1:2015

AS 3850 Clause Requirement

1.4.35 A lifting insert is a component or a system.

EdjPro Anchors and tension bars are two components of a lifting insert system.

1.4.12 A tension bar (component reinforcement) is a component which is required to

achieve the working load of a lifting system.

1.4.37 EdjPro Anchors are plate style inserts, essentially planar in form.

2.2 The Working Load Limit (WLL) has a factor of Safety of 2.25 against the critical
characteristic strength Ru (effectively the minimum breaking strength), determined
by testing according to Appendix A.

2.5.2.1 EdjPro EPHI Anchors are forged from fully killed steel with grain size less than 6
(AS 1733), elongation not less than 15% for martensitic or 20% for pearlitic steels,
and a 100% fibrous failure surface consistent with ductile failure when loaded in
tension.
EdjPro Anchors are tested in and out of concrete in accordance with Appendix A
and are marked for visible confirmation of compatibility.
EdjPro Anchors and Recess Formers are marked for compatibility.

Table 2.2 Maximum Carbon 0.25%, Phosphorous 0.05%, Sulphur 0.05%.

2.5.2.2 Plate style inserts must have a tension bar (component reinforcement).
EdjPro Anchors are designed to always be used with a tension bar.

2.5.2.2 An edge lift insert must be tested in accordance with Appendix A, with and without
C2.5.2.2 its tension bar to determine the characteristic strength Ru and WLL.

The tension bar is one component of the lifting insert system, the other component
is the plate style insert. The WLL for the system is based on the minimum
characteristic strength of the system.

The critical mode of failure of tension bars is “double shear” at the anchor aperture.
Ru of tension bars is limited to the tested shear strength of AS 4671 N class bars
manufactured with the minimum tensile strength (540MPa).

When tested in concrete of the design lifting strength, the Ru of the anchor without
the tension bar is not less than the anchor WLL.

Appendix A Anchor testing must conform with Appendix A, parts A1, A2, A3, A4, A6 & A7.

Appendix A1.5 Ru is the critical characteristic strength which has a 95% probability of being
exceeded at a confidence of 90%, of a component or system.

Appendix A3.1 Each component and the insert system (plate style insert + tension bar) to determine
Appendix A6 the critical mode of failure and critical characteristic strength.
