Technical Snippet<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pick and Drop Method Using Hangers in LGSF Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n

In LGSF projects, speed and precision during installation are critical. The Pick and Drop method using hangers is an efficient on-site strategy to handle and install prefabricated panels\u2014especially for walls, trusses, and floor systems.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd27 What Is It?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pick and Drop method refers to the lifting, positioning, and placement of pre-assembled LGSF panels using engineered lifting hangers (or lifting eyes) embedded or temporarily attached to the panel structure.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f How It Works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Lifting Hangers Installation:<\/p>\n

Before shipment or at site, lifting hangers (often bolted or welded) are installed at structurally safe points of the panel to ensure balance during lifting.<\/p>\n

2. Rigging Setup:<\/p>\n

Certified slings and spreader bars are connected to cranes or forklifts. Slings are hooked to the hangers to evenly distribute the weight of the panel.<\/p>\n

3. Pick (Lifting):<\/p>\n

The panel is carefully lifted off the staging area, maintaining level and orientation to avoid deformation.<\/p>\n

4. Drop (Placement):<\/p>\n

The panel is guided by crew members and dropped into place on anchor points or floor tracks, ensuring proper alignment with adjacent panels.<\/p>\n

5. Detachment & Reuse:<\/p>\n

Hangers are removed or left if they\u2019re designed to be part of the structure. In many cases, they are reusable lifting accessories.<\/p>\n

\u2705 Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Faster panel installation, especially for large walls and roof trusses<\/p>\n

\u2022 Reduced labor fatigue and manual handling injuries<\/p>\n

\u2022 Minimized structural deformation during handling<\/p>\n

\u2022 Improved site logistics\u2014lift directly from truck to position<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f Key Considerations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Use certified lifting hangers rated for the panel weight<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ensure lifting points align with structural studs or headers<\/p>\n

\u2022 Always perform a rigging and safety check before lifting<\/p>\n

\u2022 Follow local OSHA or safety regulations during lifting operations<\/p>\n
