Precast Concrete Lifting Systems
Magnetic Recess Former for Swift Lift / Pin Anchors, Magnetic Void Former
A magnetic recess former designed for precise positioning of Swift Lift and Pin Anchors on steel formwork during precast concrete production. It uses a built-in magnet to attach to steel molds without drilling, welding, or bolting, creating a perfectly shaped recess that ensures reliable engagement of lifting clutches after concrete curing. Available in 1.3T to 10.0T capacities, it is reusable and built for repeated use in wet, harsh casting environments.

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Drilled or welded anchor fixings | The magnetic recess former eliminates drilling and welding, reducing setup time and risk of formwork damage |
| Adhesive or clamp-based holders | Magnetic attachment is faster, more reliable, and reusable without residue or failure in wet conditions |
| Single-use plastic or paper recess formers | This steel version is reusable and maintains consistent shape across multiple casting cycles |
| Manual positioning with temporary pins | Magnetic fixation ensures consistent alignment and eliminates lost or misplaced pins |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Magnetic Recess Former for Swift Lift
- Attach the magnetic recess former to the steel formwork before pouring concrete
- Ensure the magnet holds securely and the recess cavity is correctly oriented
- Do not over-tighten or force the former into position—let the magnet do the work
- After concrete curing, use a pry bar or gentle force to remove the former with the rubber core
- Inspect the recess and anchor head for damage after demolding
- Clean the former and inspect the magnet and rubber core before reuse

Answers
Magnetic Recess Former for Swift Lift FAQ
Can it be used on non-ferrous formwork?
No. It requires ferrous steel formwork to hold via magnetic attachment. It will not work on aluminum or non-magnetic materials.
What is the maximum number of uses?
It is designed for repeated use in harsh casting environments. No fixed limit is specified, but it is built to withstand multiple cycles with proper care.
Is the magnet strong enough for heavy-duty applications?
Yes. The built-in magnet is powerful enough to hold the former securely during concrete pouring and vibration.
Can it be used with other lifting systems besides Swift Lift?
It is designed for Swift Lift and Pin Anchors. Compatibility with other systems depends on anchor geometry and recess requirements.
What finish is applied to the steel body?
The steel body has a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet casting environments.
Can you supply Material Test Certificates?
Yes. Material Test Certificates to EN 10204 3.1 are supplied with orders upon request.
How are they packed for export?
Standard carton packing on pallets. Custom carton and pallet configurations are available to suit warehouse or shipping needs.
