Safely lift and move steel without direct attachment by slings, hooks or cables. Complete line in both permanent and electro designs with various models, sizes and strengths to handle many different lifting jobs. Used singly or in gangs. Eriez' powerful Lifting Magnets make quick work of difficult, time-consuming steel handling.Magnets possess a unique property of attraction which can be harnessed to ease and speed one’s work. The payoff is an immediate improvement in efficiency and operating economy.Magnets lift and transfer steel and iron of any weight and shape without slings, hooks or cables--and without marring the surface. They require fewer operators and helpers, and when properly installed and operated, provide greater safety than many other mechanical materials handling devices.

Making the most efficient and economical selection of lifting magnets (whether electro or permanent—whether single magnet or multiple arrangement of magnets) to pile, to unpile or to lift and move steel plate and shapes requires a full knowledge of the application.The factors that have bearing on the lifting magnet selection for any specific application are:

• Weight, shape and area to be lifted• Surface condition of load and magnet
• Stiffness or flexibility of load• Range of sizes and shapes to be lifted by the magnet or magnets
• Interpretation of magnet lifting power when less than full magnet face is utilized Eriez specialists are always available to consult on your specific needs—whether it’s for a single magnet or a series of magnets engineered into an efficient materials-handling system that reduces your costs.

Lift Magnet Selection Guide

Lifting Magnets - Metalworking Industry:

SafeHold® Permanent Lifting Magnets

Lift up to 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg). Compact permanent magnets lift and transfer steel and iron without slings, hooks or cables. Properly installed and operated, provide greater safety than other mechanical material handling devices. To read the SafeHold reprint in the December 2004 issue of Modern Metals,click here.

Selecto® Electro Lifting Magnets

The SL Series requires a compact Eriez variable-voltage rectifier controller or a fixed voltage rectifier to furnish the desired D.C. power from any A.C. source. A rectifier is included as an integral part of the ST Series Selectos. All Selectos are rated at 100% duty-cycle for continuous operation.

Bi-Polar Lifting Magnets - Rectangular

Specifically designed to provide greater contact and holding strength on castings, forgings, plates and structural shapes.

Bi-Polar Lifting Magnets - Square

Especially deep field provides greater holding on steel coils, bundles of bar, re-bar, tubing or pipe.

Rectangular Lifting Magnets

Three standard models, and lengths from nine inches (229 mm) to 96 inches (2,438 mm), allow you to size the magnet to the job. Eriez' smallest single unit has a holding power (with no safety factor) of 1,860 (845 kg; the largest, 38.8 tons (35,240 kg).

Circular Lifting Magnets

Eriez circular lifting magnets are general-purpose magnets with many applications. The computer design provides a 75% duty cycle with a high lift-to-weight ratio.
