Tested and proven in North America, the MTC Solutions DLT/NLT Yoke is a heavy-duty rigging system designed and tested for lifting mass timber elements such as DLT, NLT, and GLT floor, roof, and wall panels. Like all other MTC rigging products, the DLT/NLT Yoke meets safety standards for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the USA and the Infrastructure Health & Safety Association (IHSA) in Canada, providing peace of mind to both designers and builders in these two jurisdictions.
This design guide—or design cheat sheet by the size of it—offers general guidelines on the potential lifting capacities of the DLT/NLT Yoke system used in combination with ICC-ES- and CCMC-approved self-tapping screws (STSs).
MTC Solutions’ full range of rigging devices for engineered wood products can be found in the Rigging Design Guide. The DLT/NLT Yoke will be integrated into this guide later in 2026.
All MTC Solutions rigging devices meet the mandatory 5:1 safety factor and have been tested in CLT, glulam, and MPPs, all made from North American wood species. This follows safety standards required by OSHA, stipulated in Clause 1926.753.(e)(2), as well as Canadian standards such as IHSA and WorkSafeBC.
Our rigging devices are capable of lifting a wide range of engineered wood products. These include light-frame assemblies such as structural insulated roof panels and prefabricated I-joist floors and stud walls; mass timber panels such as CLT and MPPs in floor panel lifting and wall panel tilting; DLT, NLT, and GLT panels; glulam beams; and log members. The lineup of rigging options we provide can handle virtually any wood products your project demands.
Our support goes beyond supplying mass timber hardware and documents. Our Technical Support Team is also available to answer any questions you may have about using our rigging solutions.
Share your production schedule for your mass timber elements, we’ll run weight calculations to ensure that the required factors of safety used in rigging are met with our yokes. One of our tech advisors will provide you with a tailored rigging solution and the associated hardware takeoff for your specific project, all with quick turnaround times! All that’s left is to seek approval from your rigging engineer.
