Body Loc, they are about $40.00 each. Mo-clamp also sells them, but the body loc have a metal ring around the lip to keep the chain from rubbing the concrete.

If you're pouring a new floor you can make your own with some 3-4" steel pipe, little chain and a piece of flat stock welded to the bottom of the pipe to keep it from pulling thru.

Put a little circular piece of steel on for a cap and you are all set.

You could use muffler pipe (the good 2.5inch stuff).

With any luck these pictures will work and won't be HUGE.

The green tubes were formerly a 12 row planter frame and are 7"x7"x.375". The round discs were opener discs for a John Deere air seeder. They are about 18" in diameter and are about 1/4" thick. The shaft inside the tube is about 1 1/4" and was the feeder house reverser drive shaft on a 9000 series combine. I cut holes in the tube with a torch and the shaft sticks through about 1/2" on either side of the tube. I ground a bevel on the bottom of the tube where it was welded to the disc with a wire feed welder (.045 ER70S-3, 75/25 Ar/Co2). The rebars welded to the sides of the tube were attached with 7018 rod and are 1/2" diameter.

I will make some plugs to keep the concrete out when I pour the floor and keep things from falling in after the floor is done. As usual I overbuilt these but the price was right--all it cost me was a little gas for the welder and a little oxygen and acetylene for the torch. BTW, the slab will be 6" thick.

Better add something like that to the "to-do" list for the new (dream) garage!

Been a few times those would have come in handy. I always toyed with the idea of burring an I beam or something in the floor and welding to it, or tapping some holes in it, but that seems like it might be a huge pain and not work as well as those do.
