What is the function of lifting hardware in tilt-up lifting?

• A. Used to transfer the load from the cable to the lifting
• B. Used to attach to the slab
• C. Used to pour concrete
• D. Used to brace the panel

Answer: (B)

In tilt-up lifting, lifting hardware provides the interface that connects the panel to the lifting system and the casting slab. These anchors are embedded in or attached to the panel and/or slab so that crane lines, slings, or lifting attachments can grab onto the panel securely. This setup transfers the load from the crane into the panel and ultimately into the slab as the panel is lifted and rotated upright, ensuring a controlled, safe lift. The hardware’s primary role is to attach the panel to the lifting system via the slab, not to pour concrete or to brace the panel during rotation.
