Abstract: A lifting jig for lifting elements, comprising: a base frame comprising parallel first and second vertical support beam to be slidably received into two parallel guide profiles mounted on a façade of a building; a lifting yoke comprising a horizontal base beam and a lifting frame extending vertically from said base beam; a lifting rail for engaging a façade panel, said lifting rail extending from said horizontal base beam, a link arrangement for pivotally coupling the lifting yoke to the base frame such that the lifting yoke is movable from a element lifting position (A) to a element engagement position (B).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a façade element and a rail for façade elements. The façade element comprises a frame and façade material. The frame is provided to surround and hold the façade material. The frame has an upper side with a length (L) and an elongate recess with an undercut that extends at least along a major part of the length (L) of the upper side of the frame. The recess with the undercut is adapted to receive the rail in a locking engagement, such that when the rail is in an engaged state a L-shaped engagement portion of the rail is inserted in the recess of the frame and a shoulder of the rail rests on the upper side surface at one side of the recess and a locking mechanism of the lifting rail rests on an upper side surface at another side of the recess.
