Magnetic Recess Former for Swift Lift & Pin Anchors
High-Performance Magnetic Recess Former for Precast Concrete Lifting Systems
The Magnetic Recess Former also known as Magnetic Void Former. It is designed for securely positioning Swift Lift Anchors and Pin Anchors on steel formwork during precast concrete production. Equipped with a powerful built-in magnet, it provides fast, accurate, and reliable anchor placement without drilling, bolting, or welding.
By creating the required recess around the lifting anchor, the magnetic recess former ensures easy engagement of lifting clutches after concrete curing, improving production efficiency and lifting safety in precast concrete applications.

Key Features
This Magnetic Recess Former is a premium, high-efficiency solution specifically designed for the precast concrete industry. It is engineered to seamlessly streamline the installation of lifting anchors in steel formwork systems
-
Effortless Magnetic Fixation: Equipped with a powerful integrated magnet, it securely attaches to steel block molds without the need for drilling, welding, or gluing, saving valuable setup time.
-
Flawless Recess Creation: The semi-spherical steel body creates a perfectly shaped void in the concrete block. Once the mold is stripped, it leaves an ideal cavity that allows lifting ring clutches (duckbill hooks) to hook onto the embedded pin anchors effortlessly.
-
Robust & Reusable Design: Crafted from heavy-duty steel with a corrosion-resistant galvanized finish, it is built to withstand repeated use in harsh, wet concrete casting environments, significantly lowering long-term operating costs.
-
Easy and Clean Demolding: Featuring a durable rubber core or seal, it allows the recess former to be easily popped off or pried away from the cured concrete block, protecting both the anchor head and the block edges from chipping.
-
Universal Compatibility: Highly compatible with standard global lifting systems (such as Swift Lift and pin anchors), and available
Applications
Magnetic Steel Recess Formers are designed to facilitate the positioning of Reid lifting anchors in precast concrete panels. They attach to the steel forms by magnetic means making them quick and easy to position and remove.The magnetic recess former is widely used in:
- Precast concrete wall panels
- Concrete beams and columns
- Precast slabs
- Pipes and utility products
- Bridge components
- Architectural precast elements
- Industrial precast concrete production
It is specifically designed for fixing lifting anchors onto steel formwork and creating recesses that allow easy access to lifting clutches during handling and transportation.
Available Sizes & Load Capacities
The magnetic recess former should be matched with lifting anchors of the same load capacity.
| Load Capacity | Compatible Anchor Type |
|---|---|
| 1.3 Ton | Swift Lift Anchor / Pin Anchor |
| 2.5 Ton | Swift Lift Anchor / Pin Anchor |
| 5.0 Ton | Swift Lift Anchor / Pin Anchor |
| 10.0 Ton | Swift Lift Anchor / Pin Anchor |
How It Works
- Place the lifting anchor into the magnetic recess former.
- Position the assembly on the steel formwork.
- The built-in magnet firmly secures the unit to the mold surface.
- Pour and cure the concrete.
- Remove the recess former after demolding.
- The formed recess provides access for the lifting clutch to engage the anchor safely.
