How do I lift precast concrete Caps & Steps?

Here is our recommended way of doing it:

  • Drill a 13/16" diameter hole centered in the side of the form that the finished concrete cap or step will be lifted from
  • Bolt an AC-500 Top Cap Cast-In Insert onto the form using an AC-320 3/4x2 Quick Bolt
  • After the concrete is set and you are ready to strip the form, remove the AC-320 Quick Bolt
  • Strip the form away from the concrete part and screw and AC-501 Top Cap Lifting Loop into the AC-500 Insert - at that point you can hook on to the Lifting Loop with a standard Hook & Chain

All of these parts, along with an instruction sheet, can be found on our website:  www.worldblock.com
