Description
GSPF Nailing Plates fix a lifting socket to the formwork before the concrete is poured. The socket is threaded onto the plate, and the plate is nailed to the form, so the socket stays correctly positioned and leaves an accurate recess point for lifting once the element has cured.
The plates are colour-coded so the size can be identified at a glance, and they are made for repeated use in precast production. They are a formwork fixing aid, not a lifting accessory.
Key Features and Benefits
Positive socket position
Threading the socket onto the plate holds it in place throughout pouring and curing.
Colour coding
Each size has its own colour, which reduces the risk of fitting the wrong size.
Seven sizes
Sizes run from 12 mm to 42 mm, to match the lifting sockets commonly used.
Made for repeat use
The plates are durable enough for repetitive production cycles.
Applications and Use Cases
Nailing Plates are used for:
- Precast concrete production that needs reliable lifting socket installation
- Formwork set-ups where sockets must stay fixed during pouring
- Heavy panels, beams and structural elements that need stable recess points
- Infrastructure projects that need consistent lifting hardware alignment
- High-volume precast plants that want repeatable installation

Buy Nailing Plates from Global Source Middle East
In a precast plant, a lifting socket that moves during the pour becomes a crane problem later, so the fixing on the formwork needs to be exact and quick. Global Source Middle East supplies GSPF Nailing Plates to precast producers in the UAE. Send the socket sizes and quantities, and we will quote the matching codes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a nailing plate do?
It holds a lifting socket in position on the formwork so the socket stays aligned while the concrete is poured and cured.
How is it different from a socket cap?
The nailing plate fixes the socket to the formwork before casting. Socket caps are a separate product that seal the recess afterwards.
Which sizes are available?
Sizes run 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36 and 42 mm.
