Description
G-Lift Rubber Recess Formers create the recess around a lifting anchor in precast concrete. The former is fixed to the mould with a screw, the concrete is cast around it, and the former is removed to leave the anchor positioned in its recess.
The formers are made from natural rubber and are reusable. Each former is sized to the load group of the matching lifting clutch and is listed in Round and TPA shapes.
Key Features and Benefits
Hemispherical shape
The hemispherical form allows easy insertion of the anchor and seals against concrete entering during casting.
Natural rubber
The rubber resists high and low temperatures and oil, and keeps its shape at 120 °C.
Reusable
The former can be used many times and should be oiled after each use.
Screw fixing
A fixing screw attaches the former to the mould for simple demoulding.
Matched to anchors and clutches
The former is sized to match the load classification of the lifting clutch and is made to fit with KK anchors.
Hinged, non-hinged and narrow types
Hinged and non-hinged versions are available, as well as narrower widths for thin panels.
Applications and Use Cases
Recess Formers are used for:
- Recesses for lifting clutches
- Fixing ball-head jacking anchors and deployment anchors to formwork
- Anchor recesses in thin panels
