SL LIFTING KEY FOR THREADED JENKA LIFTING SYSTEM

SL Lifting Key

SL Lifting Key for threaded JENKA Lifting System is used to attach the crane hook, lifting slings, or chains to the JENKA Lifting
Insert, which is cast into the concrete element. SL Lifting Key is fully rotational lifting key which is designed for all load directions
and it can be used with all of the JENKA Lifting System Inserts. It has a wide pressure plate distributing the impact pressure well to
the surrounding concrete element.

When JENKA Lifting Systems are used, these instructions for safe use, must be available at all times. Before using any of these Peikko
products on building sites, the contractor must ensure that the instructions are available and have been read, understood, and
followed. Misuse, misapplication, or lack of proper supervision and/or inspection can result in serious accidents.
The safe use of any lifting system requires the SL Lifting Key and the insert to fi t properly together. All original JENKA Lifting Keys
can be used with all inserts without limitation as illustrated in Figure 1 . The permitted load directions must be followed.

Parallel to this instruction for Jenka SL lifter, the Peikko Group JENKA Lifting system manual is fully valid and applicable. Especially
the general lifting information provides essential information for any kind of lifting action.

Dimensions

The dimensions of standard items are shown in Figure 2 and Table 1. Peikko’s standard products are always delivered with Peikko Rd
thread. Lifting Keys with Rd thread do not fit into inserts with M thread. All threaded Lifting Keys must be screwed into the insert
with full length of the thread.

The correct assembly of Jenka Lifting Insert when used together with SL Lifting Key is by fixing the insert with a normal metric screw
with hexagon head (Allen head) or just a regular metric bolt.

How to store

Lifting components must be stored and protected in dry conditions, preferably under a roof. Figure 9 shows a suitable storage
location.

Figure 10. How to store.

WARNING:
Threaded lifting keys are subject to corrosion when they are unprotected and exposed to outdoor weather conditions such
as large temperature variations, snow, ice, humidity, acidic atmospheres, or salt and sea water impact. These conditions
may cause damage and shorten the standing time, which increases costs.

JENKA Lifting Keys must be used by experienced and trained personnel. This reduces the risk of severe damage and injury.
Always execute every lifting process according to the instructions.

All JENKA Lifting Keys provided by Peikko are intended for lifting processes. Never use JENKA Lifting Keys for lashing or for
fixing loads onto trucks as this may cause damage to the JENKA Lifting Keys, leading to a reduced service life.

8 SL Lifting Key / Original Instructions

The following are mandatory instructions for safe working. They must be complied with exactly whenever lifting systems are in use.

WARNING:
• Screw all JENKA Lifting Keys completely inside the thread. No protrusion of the thread of the JENKA Lifting Key is
permissible at any time. Operate all screws manually. Do not use any tools such as bars or claws.
• Screws should move freely without force. If the screws do not move, check for damage to the thread or the presence of
obstructions.
• Visually inspect all items before use.
• Check and clean all threads on the JENKA Lifting Keys and inserts before use. It is highly recommended that the socket
interior be lubricated to avoid concrete pollution. Pollution can reduce the screwing depth, which has an immediate
impact on the capacity and safety level, and may result in danger of death.
• Inspect all JENKA Lifting Keys regularly for safety purposes.
• Use JENKA Lifting Keys only in appropriate environmental conditions.
• Keep in mind local regulations for safe lifting and hoisting at all times and consider the design assumptions described
in the JENKA Lifting System manual.

Description of the inspections of SL Lifting Keys

The use of SL Lifting Keys requires the consideration of local safety and accident prevention regulations. When no additional
information given in regulation the user must follow the inspection instructions described in here.

The use of SL Lifting Keys is only permitted when a competent person has inspected them. The inspection is to be executed according
to the aforementioned criteria and the inspection interval must be between one and three years. Before inspection, clean the SL
Lifting Keys thoroughly.

Chains and chain-like non-fixed SL Lifting Keys:

Inspection by a competent person

• Visual check at least once per year for external damage such as
• Bent chain links
• Twisted chain links
• Indents
• Plastic elongation due to overloading
• Readability of the marking
• Ratio elongation due to wear out
• Wear out of diameter (due to permanent use)
• Crack absence inspection at least every third year
• Additional inspection after unexpected incidents
• No visible cracks or deformations
• No necking or material tapering
• No welding in any location
• The tolerances provided on folowing page must be complied with
