Description
Top Slings stock wide range of permanent magnetic lifter (also known as lifting magnets), consist of portable model with lifting eye, welding holder model and multiple magnet holder model.
Magnetic lifters (lifting magnets) are normally rated for lifting a horizontal load in the vertical plane only. If the line of pull is not at right angles to the plane of the load, their lifting capacity will be substantially reduced and slippage may occur.
The magnetic lifters (lifting magnets) selected must match the characteristics of the load. This includes the shape, surface finish and magnetic properties of the load. The shape of the magnet should be compatible with that of the load. For example, a magnet with flat face can handle sheet material whereas for lifting round section material, a magnet with V shaped recess in the face is more suitable. For long loads, an arrangement of several magnets used in conjunction with a lifting beam is recommended as it provides the load with adequate supports along its length. The position and capacity of the individual magnets should be such to ensure the shape of the load imposed on each does not exceed its working load limit.
