Abstract: A transport anchor for embedding in prefabricated reinforced concrete parts has an anchor shaft having a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion. The first shaft portion can be anchored in the concrete and has a support with at least one spacer projection for maintaining a spacing to a formwork wall. The second shaft portion projects from the concrete and has an engagement head. A prism-shaped formed member has two shell parts and surrounds the engagement head. A removable recess member encloses the engagement head during casting of the concrete. The removable recess member has a hub portion to be seated on the prism-shaped formed member.
