CUBE AND CYLINDER LIFTING HANDLE AZA1158
The AZA-LAB Cube & Cylinder Lifting Handle (Model AZA1158) is a robust, safety-focused tool engineered for the reliable handling of concrete cube and cylindrical specimens in material testing laboratories. Built from high-strength, powder-coated steel, this lifting handle ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance in demanding environments, including wet curing areas and abrasive field conditions.
Designed to securely grip 100 mm and 150 mm standard concrete cube moulds and cylindrical specimens, the AZA1158 facilitates safe lifting, transfer, and positioning without direct hand contact. The adjustable locking mechanism and anti-slip jaw design provide a firm hold on the specimen, preventing slippage and minimizing the risk of surface damage.
The ergonomic handle design distributes weight evenly, reducing hand fatigue and improving workflow efficiency. Whether used for loading specimens into curing tanks, transferring them to compression testing machines, or transporting them for inspection, this tool enhances operational safety and aligns with laboratory best practices.

L SHAPE BOX APPARATUS AZA1112
AZA1112 L Shape Box Apparatus is a precision testing device designed to evaluate the passing ability and flow performance of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) in congested reinforcement conditions. This apparatus simulates real-world scenarios such as densely reinforced beams, columns, tunnels, and bridge segments, where concrete must flow freely without segregation or blockage.
The distinctive L-shaped design creates a controlled flow path where freshly mixed SCC moves from a vertical chamber into a horizontal channel containing reinforcement bars. By measuring the concrete heights at both ends (H1 and H2), the H2/H1 ratio is calculated, providing a direct, quantitative assessment of the concrete’s ability to pass through obstructions.
Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant steel, AZA1112 is built for long-term laboratory and site use. It conforms to EN 12350-10 and EFNARC guidelines, ensuring global acceptance of test results.
