Magnetic Lifters are high-performance magnetic devices utilized for effortlessly elevating heavy loads. In technical parlance, they are commonly referred to as magnetic lifters, magnet lifters, or lifting magnets and serve as an indispensable lifting tool for materials like steel and other ferromagnetic metals. It’s worth noting, however, that stainless steel, owing to its unique metallic structure, is non-magnetic and therefore not amenable to lifting with these devices.
Magnetic lifters excel in handling steel plates, forgings, die castings, and analogous materials across workshops, warehouses, and industrial processing setups. Nevertheless, their lifting capacity fluctuates, contingent upon the thickness and material composition of the metallic object being lifted. To ensure safety, it is paramount that the actual breakaway force exceeds the maximum lift ratings by a minimum factor of 3.5. Tailoring the current’s intensity to your industry’s specific requirements allows for adjusting the lifting magnet’s strength, either enhancing or diminishing it, thereby offering remarkable versatility across diverse applications.
Ensuring the safety of your team when utilizing magnetic lifters is paramount:
- Routinely inspect the magnetic lifters to verify their proper functioning and working order.
- Strive to transfer materials with minimal vibration and impact, as excessive movement can lead to material dislodgment and potential accidents.
- Avoid moving the load or item in proximity to personnel to prevent harm or damage to individuals and property.
- Maintain strict vigilance to ensure no one approaches, stands, or passes beneath the magnet while in operation.
- Closely monitor the load throughout the lifting process until it has been successfully hoisted and secured.
- Do not use the lifting magnet when the ambient temperature exceeds 148°F (64°C) as it may affect its performance and safety.
