Description

G-Lift Fixing Sockets are cast-in sockets with a crimped flat end and a cross-hole, used to provide a threaded point in lightweight precast concrete elements. The cross-hole takes a reinforcement bar, which supports the transfer of load into the concrete.

Six thread sizes from M8 to M24 are available, with a Safe Working Load (SWL) from 200 kg to 1600 kg and a matching socket height for each size.

Key Features and Benefits

  1. Crimped flat end with cross-hole

    The flat end and cross-hole provide a secure seat for a reinforcement bar.

  2. Metric threads M8 to M24

    Six sizes, each with its own height and SWL.

  3. Stainless steel and zinc-plated steel

    Both materials are available; specify the one you need when ordering.

  4. Nailable into wooden formwork

    The sockets can be nailed into wooden formwork for positioning.

Applications and Use Cases

Fixing Sockets are used for:

  • Lifting lightweight precast concrete elements
  • Slabs and panels, including facade and flooring components
  • Precast work using wooden formwork
