What is a lifting socket?

A thick walled lifting socket that is designed for Lifting. The Lifting Socket Anchor requires a reinforcement tail fitting to the socket that allows the forces to be transferred into the concrete.

Manufactured from either high grade precision steel in Zinc plated finish or stainless steel. Flat End Lifting Sockets prodice a cost effective alternative to Tubular Lifting sockets. They are used in the same manner and utilise identical cross hole reinforcement and lateral reinforcement as the Tubular Lifting Sockets.

The system comprises a cast-in lifting socket that is drilled laterally below the threaded portion in order to take a reinforcing bar that is located and tied to the main reinforcement to provide the user with a positive and secure anchorage point. They are available in both stainless steel and zinc-plated steel to offer some protection against corrosion. Each socket can be supplied with two plastic inserts. The upper one (optional extra)is used to prevent the ingress of dirt into the threads whilst the lower one (standard) is used to prevent the ingress of concrete during the casting process.

Soild Lifting Socket are widely used in the application of precast concrete construction, such as lifting beams, walls, and floor slabs, etc.

To guarantee the local force transmittance in the concrete, a certain edge distance must be observed, for safety reason, the thickness of the panel must not fall short of a certain minimum.
