Casting Socket / Lifting Socket – Safe Lifting Anchors for Precast Concrete | Trusted Supplier in UAE
Safety, load-bearing reliability, and certified performance are non-negotiable in precast construction and lifting of concrete. The purpose of Casting Sockets or Lifting Sockets from Al-Hafoof Hardware Trading is to meet those requirements.
These specially engineered inserts are embedded into precast concrete elements to provide strong, hidden anchoring points for lifting, handling, and installation. When embedded in beams, slabs, walls, panels, and columns, casting sockets ensure secure connections with no compromise in the structural integrity.
Manufactured in carbon or stainless steel with internal threads, these sockets can take lifting loops, eye bolts, and lifting anchors, thus being central for safe site logistics in the UAE and the GCC.
🚧 The Problem
Precast concrete elements are heavy and fragile. One risk associated with lifting them without use of a certain hardware is to crack them, fail on site, and cause accidents. Many products drain untested strength and compliance in the arena of professional construction.
