    Abstract: A lifting insert void extractor assists a standing worker to remove voids from a concrete panel. The present invention has a rectangular base with a lip through which passes a plunger. Parallel to the plunger, two jaws engage and grasp a void. The shorter leg of a jaw inserts into a void and the longer leg of a jaw extends to a handle. A worker grasps the handles, positions the shorter legs of the jaws into a void, moves the handles mutually inwards, steps on the plunger and pulls up on the handles to remove the void from the tilt up panel.
