The following procedures describe proper lifting techniques for screed. There is no OSHA standard weight limit
for manual lifting. Therefore, rather than stating a regulated limit, they ask that employers or contractors do the
following:
A) identify each hazard to which a person at the work
place (job site) is likely to be exposed to.
B) Assess the risk of injury or harm to a person
resulting from each hazard.
C) Consider the means by which the risk may be
reduced.
NOTE: Never lift more than what you personally feel that you can handle.
The lifiting handles at each end of the screed are not intended to be used as the only source of lift the
screed. It is quite obvious that two large men will not be able to lift 70 feet of screed. the following list of
maximum screed lengths is very important so that the length of your screed will not be too long.
SX SCREED - MAXIMUM 60 FEET
HD SCREED - MAXIMUM 60 FEET
SHD SCREED - MAXIMUM 60 FEET
For proper lifting of an average screed (30 ft.), the screed lifting hook is an ideal item to use. This instrument
should be placed at equal distances from each end. A special lifting bridle is then used by a forklift, crane, front-
end loader, etc. to raise and transport the screed. Also available from Allen Engineering is thee screed cart. This
item is used to move the screed around on the job site only.
