    Magnetic Lifters - Lifting Magnets

    Need a reliable way to lift, move, and position heavy metal loads? Our magnetic lifters offer a powerful, safe solution for various projects, including fabrication, warehousing, and heavy equipment repair.

    Our industrial lifting magnets provide a fast, clamp-free way to handle steel plates and other ferrous materials without slings, hooks, or external power. They are manufactured using high-strength magnetic alloys and designed for rugged work environments.

    These magnetic lifters use a strong permanent magnetic field to grip metal surfaces. Most units feature an easy-to-use lever that activates or releases the magnet, making operation simple, even with gloves.

    Here are some features of our industrial lifting magnets:

    • Powerful: Depending on the model, our magnets for lifting can carry hundreds or thousands of pounds.

    • Safe To Use: Many models include safety locks or load indicators.

    • Portable: No need for electricity or hydraulics to operate them.

    • Versatility: We guarantee that our sets work on flat or round ferrous surfaces with high holding force.

    Consider the units in our collection if you’re in the market for magnets for use in large-scale production lines or smaller operations. Browse our full selection of magnetic lifters below to find the right model for your lifting application.

    Ideal Applications for Lifting Magnets

    Magnetic lifters are built for tough jobs that involve steel and iron. Here’s are some of the applications where they provide the best results:

    CNC and Fabrication Shops

    Quickly load or unload steel sheets, plates, and blanks onto cutting tables or into presses.     		Manufacturing and Assembly

    Speed up material handling on production lines using magnetic plate lifters to transport raw stock and finished parts.     		Machine Shops

    Use magnetic steel plate lifters to safely rotate, lift, or align heavy parts during machining or inspection.
    Steel Service Centers and Warehouses

    Move stacked plates or structural shapes efficiently, with a clear line of sight and no dangling rigging.     		Construction and Heavy Equipment Yards

    Attach heavy lifting magnets for cranes to manage beams, rebar bundles, or scrap loads, especially in tight or outdoor spaces.

    What To Consider When Choosing a Magnetic Lifter

    Here are some important criteria to consider before selecting a model for your project. Each heavy-lifting magnet unit, like the Magnetic Lifters 660 LBS Lifting Industrial Magnets and the Industrial Permanent Magnet Lifter 2200 LBS Strong Lifting Magnets, features various lift capacities and load ranges.

    • Lift Capacity: Each magnet has a maximum rated load. Match the magnet to the weight and dimensions of your lifting materials.

    • Material Type and Surface Condition: These heavy lifting magnets work best on clean, flat, low-carbon steel surfaces. Paint, rust, or coatings can reduce grip strength.

    • The Load’s Shape: Flat lifters are best for sheets and plates, while some models are optimized for round stock like bars and pipes.

    • Duty Cycle: If you perform repeated lifts throughout the day, opt for a model rated for continuous use, with durable components and locking handles.

    • Safety Features: Look for safety locks, load indicators, and ergonomic controls to ensure the safest operation possible, especially when working around crews or machinery.

    Safety Tips for Proper Magnetic Lifter Use

    Follow these best practices to ensure your lifting magnets perform reliably and safely:

    • Use on Clean, Flat Steel Surfaces: Rust, paint, or debris can reduce holding strength and compromise lifting integrity.

    • Never Lift at the Maximum Rated Capacity: We recommend staying well below the unit’s stated load limit, typically within 50% to 75% of the rated capacity.

    • Test Before Each Lift: Engage the magnet fully and verify a secure hold on the material before proceeding.

    • Inspect Equipment Regularly: Ensure all components work correctly before using the equipment.
