Threaded Socket Lifting System

Threaded lifting sockets are cast into precast elements to give a flush, reusable lifting point. Screw in a wire rope lifting loop to lift, then remove it; the socket stays flush with the surface. Choose from flange-foot, solid bar, wavy tail, rebar and flat-plate sockets, plus the magnets and nailing plates that hold them in the mould.

Choosing a threaded lifting socket

Standard lifting sockets

Lifting Socket (cast flange foot), Solid Bar Lifting Socket, Bolt Anchor Socket, Crown Foot Anchor Socket and Heavy Duty Foot Anchor Socket: flush threaded pick-up points for most precast elements. The Heavy Duty Fixing Socket With Cross Pin gives a mechanically locked connection for reinforcement or hardware.

Thin slabs and double walls

Flat Plate Lifting Socket, Flat Lifting Socket With Rebar (Slab Anchor) and Rebar Foot Anchor Socket lie flush within thin sections and slab soffits.

Edges and extra pull-out resistance

Wavy Tail Anchor (Long Type), Wavy Tail Anchor (Short Type) and Straight Rebar Socket Anchor carry the load into the concrete through a corrugated or straight tail bar, without a bulky anchor head.

Lifting loops

Wire Rope Lifting Loop and Special Lifting Loop (with an identification tag for quick size checks) screw into the socket to lift.

Holding the socket in the mould

Threaded Bushing Magnets and Magnetic Steel Plates hold sockets on steel formwork; Plastic Nailing Plates nail to timber formwork and protect the thread during casting.

Questions buyers ask

What is the difference between a lifting socket and a fixing socket?

Lifting sockets are designed to take lifting loads through a lifting loop during handling. Fixing sockets leave a threaded point for bolting fittings to the element after it is installed.

Can the lifting loop be reused?

Yes. The loop is screwed in for lifting and removed afterwards; only the socket stays in the concrete.
