Lifting Magnets

Lifting Magnets – Fast, Safe, and Damage-Free Lifting of Metal

Our lifting magnets (also known as magnetic lifters or hoist magnets) offer an efficient, safe, and damage-free solution for lifting and moving metal materials such as steel plates, couplings, etc., available in permanent, electric, and electro-permanent variants.

Key features

• Types:

  • Permanent lifting magnets (lever operated—no power required)

  • Electro-lifting magnets (DC-controlled, ideal for heavy loads)

  • Electro-permanent lifting magnets (power only during activation) 

• Load capacities:

  • From compact 100 kg versions to heavy 6 ton models 

• Capacity affected by surface and shape:

  • For round loads, often a maximum of 50% WLL of the flat value applies

  • Quick testing via lever resistance; use the diagram on the magnet for correct application 

• User-friendly & low-maintenance:

  • Lightweight, compact design, manual operation with safety lock 

• Applications:

  • Metal industry, machine construction, recycling, warehouses, shipbuilding, installation 

Advantages

• Time-saving: no lifting straps or clamps required

• Damage-free: no scratches or pressure marks on the workpiece

• Efficient: ideal for repetitive operations

• Safe: reliable grip, often with a locking mechanism

• Maintenance-free: especially for permanent magnets
