Rowland,

I'm having a hard time figuring out what what those lifing nuts are, do you
have any pictures or reference?

 I have some lifting nuts for standing up wall slabs that are
 poured flat on
 the floor slab. They are a piece of wound wire with 4 legs I also have the
 special bolts that go with them. I am planning on putting them in
 my floor,
 the only exposure is a 3/4 in hole that could be filled with a bolt. The
 bolt could be removed to install a hook or shackle
