Rubber Recess Former with Threaded Rod & Wing Nut for Lifting Anchors
Product Overview

Key Features & Advantages
-
Premium Quality Material: Manufactured from heavy-duty, high-grade rubber (or polyurethane) that offers excellent elasticity, wear resistance, and long-term durability against wet concrete environments.
-
Stable Mechanical Fixation: Equipped with a robust galvanized threaded rod and a user-friendly wing nut. It provides an ultra-secure mechanical lock through the formwork holes, completely eliminating anchor shifting during concrete pouring and vibration.
-
Flawless Cavity Formation: Creates a perfectly shaped semi-spherical recess, ensuring that lifting ring clutches (duckbill hooks) can engage with the embedded pin anchors effortlessly and safely during transport.
-
Easy Demolding & Reusability: Thanks to the natural flexibility of the rubber body, the void former pops out or pries away cleanly from the cured concrete, protecting block edges from chipping and ensuring hundreds of trouble-free reuses to lower your production costs.
-
Comprehensive Load Capacities: Standardized strictly according to global precast lifting regulations, ensuring perfect structural compatibility with your existing lifting systems.

Note: Custom colors, custom thread lengths, and larger capacities (e.g., 15T, 20T) are available upon request to match your specific factory standards.
How It Works (Application Guide)
- Insert the lifting anchor into the rubber recess former.
- Pass the threaded rod through the formwork.
- Tighten the wing nut to secure the assembly.
- Pour and cure the concrete.
- Remove the wing nut and recess former after demolding.
- The formed recess provides clear access to the lifting anchor for safe lifting operations.

Applications
The rubber recess former is widely used in precast concrete manufacturing for:
- Precast wall panels
- Concrete beams and columns
- Floor slabs
- Stair units
- Utility products
- Bridge components
- Architectural precast elements
Its primary function is to securely fix pre-embedded lifting anchors while creating a recess that allows lifting clutches to engage safely after concrete curing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for B2B Buyers
Q1: What is the main difference between a Rubber Recess Former and a Magnetic Recess Former?
-
Rubber Type (with Wing Nut) requires a pre-drilled hole in your formwork. It offers a highly secure mechanical lock and is extremely cost-effective, making it the preferred choice for budget-conscious yards or wooden setups.
-
Magnetic Type sticks directly to steel molds via magnetic force without drilling, which speeds up assembly but comes with a higher initial investment.
Q2: Can I customize the colors of the rubber recess formers for our factory?
Yes. We offer color-coding customization (e.g., black for 1.3T, yellow for 2.5T, blue for 5.0T) to help your workshop team quickly distinguish between different weight capacities and prevent on-site assembly errors.
Q3: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and lead time?
For standard sizes (1.3T to 10T), we maintain a consistent stock with flexible MOQs. For bulk container shipments or custom OEM specifications, the lead time generally ranges between 15 to 25 days depending on the volume.
