A lifting anchor assembly that is configured to be embedded in a tilt-up concrete structure includes an anchor member that has a pair of legs extending downward from a central portion of the anchor member to form a generally inverted U shape. A spacer is disposed at a lower end portion of each of the pair of legs, where the spacers each include a plurality of spacing arms that extend radially at different lengths from an engagement portion of the spacer that adjustably attaches at the anchor member. The engagement portion of the spacer is configured to engage the anchor member in different rotational positions to selectively position one of the plurality of spacing arms in a downward position for accommodating different thickness dimensions of concrete structures.

Buildings are constructed using the tilt-up technique from concrete elements that have contours that are at least partially curved. The concrete elements are made by casting in molds. The molds are assembled from mold pieces selected in a kit that contains a limited set of shapes. Molds assembled differently can produce concrete elements with a large variety of contour shapes.

System, apparatus, device, kit, method and associated technique for safely and securely lifting wall and other structures to a vertical position. An electronic winch device that when connected to an end of a wall structure lifts the structure. A keeper or catchment such that when the electronic winch has hoisted the wall structure to a substantially vertical position, catches and keeps the wall structure in place, allowing the technician to more properly secure the wall structure. The apparatuses are also designed for portability and collapsibility, with structural members telescoping inside one another to minimize size in transport but securely configurable when extended and locked into place.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of high-altitude building material installation equipment, in particular to building material installation equipment with high flexibility. The equipment comprises: a sucking device for sucking panels, a rotating device for driving the sucking device to rotate, a cross translation device, a swinging device and a mechanical arm; a slip ring is arranged in the rotating device and electrically connected with the sucking device; the cross translation device comprises longitudinal translation plate and transverse translation plate which are capable of driving the sucking device to make a translational movement; the longitudinal translation plate and the transverse translation plate are arranged in a direction parallel to gravity, and are fitted; and the swinging device can drive the cross translation device to swing to one side of the mechanical arm. Although the prior art provides installation equipment capable of effectively installing the panels, the equipment cannot meet installation requirements when encountering a narrow installation space. Compared with the prior art, the building material installation equipment of the present disclosure can drive the panels to enter the narrow installation space, and can adjust positions of the panels, so as to meet the installation requirements.

A wall lifting assembly includes a bracket which includes a lateral portion forming a right angle with a lower portion and forming a right angle with an upper portion. The lower portion is spaced from the upper portion to define a wall space for insertably receiving a top plate of a framed exterior wall. The bracket has an attachment point integrated and a lifting line can engage the attachment point. In this way the framed exterior wall can be lifted with the lifting line when the bracket is positioned on the framed exterior wall. A plurality of nuts is each of the nuts is coupled to the upper portion of the bracket. A plurality of bolts is each threadable through a respective one of the nuts when the top plate is positioned in the wall space to inhibit the top plate from sliding out of the wall space when the bracket is lifted.

Panel manipulation assemblies and panel manipulation vehicles include a wrist assembly having at least two degrees of freedom, and a hand assembly coupled with the wrist assembly, the hand assembly having at least one degree of freedom independent of the wrist assembly. The hand assembly includes panel securement structure configured to securely hold a material panel.

A Building Element Lift Enhancer is described. The Building Element Lift Enhancer provides for the movement and precise placement of building elements such as blocks or sheet products by one worker. The Building Element Lift Enhancer senses the force applied by a user to the building element and converts that user applied force to mechanically assisted force from the Building Element Lift Enhancer, allowing the user to precisely move and handle large, heavy or bulky building elements by direct interaction with the building element.

A lifting cart for assist in building construction processes using precast wall panels can include a panel handling mechanism coupled to a movable vehicle. The panel handling mechanism can include a clamping mechanism, a rotational mechanism, a linear mechanism, and a tilting mechanism. The movable vehicle can include two sets of wheels configured to move the vehicle in perpendicular directions. The lifting cart can handle the precast wall panels, from a wall panel package delivered to the construction site to the final location of the wall panels between beams of the building frame.
