Safe and Cost-Effective Wall Panel Lifting Solutions

Enduroframe is always looking at smart, innovative ways to save fabricators money when making light gauge steel frames by solving common manufacturing, installation and logistics issues.

Enduroframe delivers cost-effective solutions through several innovative approaches: advanced testing methodologies that optimize steel usage, enhanced framing systems that streamline assembly and installation processes, and sophisticated software implementations that automate various design elements.

Traditional lifting methods

Traditional wall panel lifting methods using slings can cause significant damage to wall frames at the bottom of packs due to the weight of frames above. While steel lifting lugs with pre-punched holes and eyelets have been an effective solution, they present challenges: high manufacturing costs, poor return rates from construction sites, and expensive collection and retrieval processes. It is not uncommon that the cost of a truck returning expensive lifting lugs is worth as much or more than the lifting lugs themselves!

Enduroframe solution

Enduroframe has engineered an innovative and economical alternative. Combining the ENDUROFRAME® building system’s unique lipped and unlipped sections to make a robust lifting lug provides:

  • an engineered solution
  • easy screw-on installation
  • a cost-effective manufacturing process, and
  • a recyclable solution which eliminates costly return logistics.

The lifting lugs offer versatile post-use applications such as repurposing as house frame components, converting into various brackets, or even re-using the brackets in subsequent deliveries.

This solution not only addresses the practical challenges of wall panel lifting but also provides a sustainable, cost-efficient alternative to traditional methods.

Manufacturing instructions and an engineered report provided by a structural engineer are included as part of the licensing of the ENDUROFRAME® building system.
