How to Use This Calculator
- Enter panel height, width (ft), and overall thickness in inches — include insulation layer if it is a sandwich panel.
- Set concrete unit weight in pcf: 150 for normal weight, ~115 for lightweight.
- Enter reveal depth and coverage percentage if the panel has architectural reveals.
- Enter insulation thickness in inches for sandwich panels (0 for solid panels).
- Enter window or door opening area in sq ft to deduct from the weight calculation.
- Read Total Panel Weight (lbs) and Stripping Force (1.5x) to size lifting inserts and select the correct crane.
