If a panel may be picked again after lowering, what must be true about the lifting inserts?

• A. They must be designed for multiple picks
• B. They must be single-use
• C. They must be abandoned
• D. They require replacement after every lift

Answer: (A)

When a panel may be picked again after lowering, the lifting inserts must be able to handle repeated use. This means they’re designed for multiple picks, with enough strength and secure anchorage to withstand several lifts without pulling out or losing capacity. Using inserts that are single-use or require replacement after every lift would be impractical and unsafe, and abandoning inserts would prevent re-picking the panel. Reusable lifting inserts support efficient, safe handling for multiple lifts and keep the panel ready for subsequent raising and lowering cycles.
