This proven system of permanent magnetic devices eliminates the need to require blocking under the material for future lifting as well as the additional labor required when using chains for lifting. This unique lifting system features a permanent magnet so it is not necessary to have a battery powered backup to maintain the magnetic force in the event of a power failure. This system uses power only to reverse the polarity to release the material when it is resting securely on the ground.
The typical system for handling plates features a hydraulically powered telescopic design that positions the magnetic lifting elements outward depending upon the length of the plate to be processed. Plate in length up to 40 ft. can be processed with this system.

How much time does your workforce spend over a year placing blocking under each structural member, running chains under a member and hooking up to the crane, walking the section as it is moved in your shop and then performing the same task again in reverse? If you start to run the numbers, you will quickly conclude how much this part of your handling adds unnecessary cost to your operation. This permanent magnet system permits sections to be lifted and moved without slinging chains, working with blocking and steadying the member as it moves in your shop. Easily your productivity is increased by up to 300% while using fewer employees for this task.
