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