Magnetic Recess Former D118 M12 Thread
The Magnetic Recess Former D118 M12 Thread is a specialised precast concrete accessory designed to create a clean, accurately positioned recess for lifting anchors and threaded inserts during the concrete casting process. Utilising a powerful integrated magnet, this recess former securely attaches to steel formwork, eliminating the need for drilling, welding, or additional fixing methods while ensuring precise placement throughout the pour.
Manufactured for demanding precast concrete environments, this magnetic recess former is designed to accommodate M12 threaded lifting systems and anchor assemblies. The magnetic base provides a strong hold against steel moulds and casting beds, helping maintain alignment and consistency while reducing setup time and improving production efficiency.
Once the concrete has cured and the formwork is removed, the recess former leaves a clean, professional recess that allows easy access to the embedded lifting anchor or threaded insert for safe handling, transportation, and installation of precast elements.

Advantages of Magnetic Recess Formers
Magnetic recess formers simplify the installation of lifting anchors and threaded inserts by providing accurate positioning without damaging formwork. Their reusable design helps reduce setup time, improve consistency, minimise labour costs, and increase productivity within precast manufacturing operations.
Typical Uses
- Creating recesses for lifting anchors
- Positioning threaded inserts during casting
- Securing anchor systems to steel moulds
- Improving precast production efficiency
- Maintaining accurate anchor alignment
- Facilitating safe lifting and transport of concrete elements
Please Note
This magnetic recess former is designed for use with compatible M12 threaded anchor systems and steel formwork. Ensure the magnet is attached to a clean steel surface before pouring concrete. Always follow the lifting anchor manufacturer's recommendations and applicable site safety requirements when handling precast concrete components.
Pull Force Information
Pull Force Information
Pull force refers to the maximum holding strength of a magnet. Measured in kilograms, it represents the amount of weight a magnet can support when attached to 10mm thick mild steel, with full, flat, and direct surface-to-surface contact.
A magnet's pull force can be affected by several factors, including its orientation (horizontal vs. vertical) and the presence of any air gaps between the magnet and the surface it’s attached to.
