 It sounded to me like he was talking about threaded coil inserts
 such as the
 following.  But I may be wrong.

 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  Rowland of
