Lifting Sockets

With the Swivel Lifting Eye, precast concrete units can be safely lifted utilising lifting points in their sides. Units can also be safely tilted from the horizontal to the vertical plane and vice versa. The pressure plate with its large cross sectional area generates an even distribution of pressure over a large surface area of concrete. The Swivel Lifting Eye’s special swivelling component automatically adapts to the direction of the inclined lifting forces. The safe working load of the Swivel Lifting Eye is valid for lifts along the axis of the thread through to lifts perpendicular to its axis.

The Threaded Socket System is available in a wide variety of specially designed sockets to suit all types of different applications. It also offers a wide range of lifting capacities from 500kg up to 12500kg. Our sockets are supplied in standard BZP, or a stainless steel finish on request.
