Lifting Magnets
YOUR GUIDE TO LIFTING MAGNETS
WHAT IS A LIFTING MAGNET?
A Lifting Magnet is as the name suggests, a high-powered magnet that has been designed to lift a range of ferrous materials from small heaps of scrap to large heavy blocks. Lifting Magnets are portable allowing you to use them wherever required on your site.
HOW DO MAGNETIC LIFTERS WORK?
Thanks to excellent weight-bearing capacities and sheer power, Magnet Lifters are operated via an on/off switch or lever. Surrounded by a rotor, the magnets produce a magnetic flux/current when they are orientated in the same direction. Note that for optimal lifting, the air between the magnet and surface should be limited, if not eliminated. Once your lift has taken place, the rotor is turned off, releasing force and therefore load.
