Product Description

Permanent Magnetic Lifting Magnets for Steel Plate and Round Stock Handling

Permanent magnetic lifting magnets provide a compact, efficient way to pick up and position steel sheets, plates, bars, and compatible round materials using an overhead crane, chain, or hoist. Designed for fabrication shops, machine shops, warehouses, steel service centers, and manufacturing areas, these lifters help reduce manual handling while improving control when moving ferrous materials between workstations.

Simple Lever-Activated Operation

The magnet is activated or deactivated by rotating the lever, allowing operators to engage or release the load without requiring external power. The lightweight design makes the lifters easier to move from one work area to another, while the permanent magnetic design supports dependable lifting for everyday industrial use.

Flat and Round Steel Capacity Options

This family includes models with uniform flat steel capacities from 100 lb. to 2,200 lb. and round steel capacities from 40 lb. to 800 lb. Multiple base plate sizes give users options for different material dimensions, load weights, and handling requirements.

Standard and Cylindrical Lifter Designs

Standard magnetic lifters are well suited for steel plate and sheet handling, while the cylindrical magnetic lifter provides concentrated lifting force in a compact footprint for large or small items. Steel construction and durable finishes support long service life in demanding material handling environments.

Questions & Answers

Q: I am looking for the safety factor on the magnetic lifter. ASME uses a 3:1 but I didn't see that.
A: The safety factor on the magnetic lifters depends on the material thickness of the plate.

Q: What does uniform round capacity mean?
A: Uniform round capacity is the total capacity of the unit when lifting round steel. Because there is less surface contact with a round pipe the capacity is depleted.
