Minimum concrete compressive strength

Hi,
What is minimum concrete compressive strength required before a concrete block (2mx2mx2m) is lifted using a crane at 3 days without causing damages or broken edges.

RE: Minimum concrete compressive strength
we regularly make large precast concrete pieces and move them the next day, PSI after 1 day is around 3000.
However we treat these pieces very carefully, and chipping corners is a big concern. We use lots of polystyrene foam to buffer the pieces from hard impact.
