A lightweight building panel, typically made from autoclaved aerated concrete, is provided with at least a s pair of rebates or grooves extending lengthwise along each of the longitudinal sides of the panel at the corner edges of the upper face and sides of the panel to assist in transporting the panels by a grab lift. Each rebate or groove has a double profile including an upper part and a io lower part angularly inclined to one another to assist in guiding the jaws of the grab lift into contact with the rebate at the correct lifting location and to form a waist at the junction of the two profiles to assist in positive engagement of the jaws of the grab lift to securely hold is the panel when lifting. The panels having the double profile rebate are used in lightweight flooring applications. The advantage of the panels is that multiple panels can be lifted simultaneously and placed one at a time in desired locations to form the lightweight 20 flooring thereby reducing handling of the panels to achieve cost savings. eifDJi14 508720_1 (GHMaIIers) P91877 AU 2 51b 48b 58 48a 'la 64b --'' -- 64a 50b- 56 59 2 766a 62b B 68b 66a 66b-- - - - FIGURE 7 44 48b 48a 50 59 --46 50a 68b DD 68a 64 br-- 56 62 bs----62 -- 60a 60b 78 66a 66b 74
