F-53 Thin Slab Insert is designed for lifting thin precast concrete panel from the
casting bed and for handling the panels until they are set into their final position. Insert
should be set back 1/2” from the surface of the concrete, maintaining at least 3/4” of concrete
below the surface of the concrete, maintaining at least /4” of concrete below the insert.
Minimum corner distance. Available in insert heights up to 4”.
