Lifting BG800
Each standard 12m section of BG800 weighs
approximately 1080kg.
If using the normal method of installation with a
lorry mounted crane and articulated truck, the
safe working load of the crane must be in excess
of 1.08 tonnes at a reach of 8m to enable 12m
units to be safely offloaded, loaded and installed
on site.
BG800 is lifted
with
two
leg
chains attached
to
the
lifting
points on the top
of the barrier.
Each individual
piece of BG800
has two lifting
points and when these pieces are bolted
together to make up a normal section of BG800,
there are four possible lifting points along its
length. BG800 has identical lifting points on the
underside to facilitate lifting inverted sections.
If the barrier to be lifted has a bolted joint in its
length (I.E. A section made from two pieces)
then using the standard chains, the barrier must
be lifted from the lifting points closest to and
either side of this bolted joint. If the length of
barrier is a piece without a joint in the middle
(I.E. an individual piece) then the longer chains
are required as the lifting points are at either
end of the piece.
Lifting Point Certification
Each lifting point has been welded in
accordance with DIN 18800 class E. Two lifting
points per barrier should be used. Below is the
capacity table that each lifting point has been
designed and engineered to.
