Design
Flat Lifting Socket For Threaded Socket Lifting System typically consist of a flat steel plate with a threaded or slotted hole, designed to accommodate a lifting pin or hook.
Embedment
The socket is embedded into the precast concrete element during casting, ensuring a strong and durable connection.
Load Capacity
They are designed to handle specific load capacities, which must be carefully calculated based on the weight of the precast element and the lifting conditions.
Corrosion Resistance
Often made from galvanized or stainless steel to resist corrosion and ensure longevity.
Ease of Use
Designed for quick and secure attachment of lifting equipment, reducing setup time during construction.
Walls
Used in precast wall panels for vertical lifting and installation.
Columns
Embedded in precast columns for lifting and positioning.
Beams
Installed in precast beams for handling and placement.
Slabs
Used in hollow core slabs, double tees, or other precast slab elements.
FAQ
Q:Can Flat Plate Lifting Sockets be reused?
A:No, they are designed for single use and remain embedded in the precast concrete element after installation.
Q:Are Flat Plate Lifting Sockets safe?
A:Yes, when properly selected, installed, and used according to manufacturer guidelines and industry standards, they provide a safe and reliable lifting solution.
Q:Can Flat Plate Lifting Sockets be used for inclined lifts?
A:Yes, but the angle of lift must be considered when calculating the load capacity. Inclined lifts increase the stress on the socket, so the load rating must be adjusted accordingly.
