Abstract: The current invention is a universal anchor for use with both ring clutches and bail lift clutches. The invention includes an anchor with a nail-shaped head on one end of a shaft and a flattened plate with at least one perforation through the plate on the other end of the shaft. When embedded in concrete with the nail-shaped head exposed, the anchor is available for engagement with bail lift clutches. When embedded in concrete with the perforated plate end exposed, the anchor is available for engagement with ring clutches. In this manner, one universal anchor may be used regardless of the type of clutch available.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling element which can be coupled to a lifting element of an object to be lifted. The coupling element is provided with a remote-controllable locking element, which in a locking position is designed to prevent disconnection of the coupling element and the lifting element connected thereto. A rotatable driving element, which is in engagement with the locking element, is fitted in the inside of the coupling element. The rotatable driving element by means of a control element can take the locking element into or out of the locking position.
