Anchoring device

An anchoring device adapted to be partially buried in a concrete member during forming thereof for cooperation with a pick-up unit, the anchoring device comprising a lifting pin and a void former, wherein the void former is integrally molded about the lifting pin, wherein the void former is a substantially hemispherical member comprising a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface such that the concave inner surface defines a substantially hollow void, wherein the lifting pin comprises an elongate bar and wherein the void former between the convex outer surface and an enlarged foot of the lifting pin forms a sleeve about the elongate bar.
