Recommended applications

These Battery Powered Lifting Magnets are extremely useful throughout the plant, around the yard, in receiving and shipping areas, cut-off saws, burning tables and machine tools. They have widespread applications for handling of machine components, die-blocks, smooth castings and forgings, plates, bars, pipes and structurals.

BM series for Flat Material Handling

BM1350, BM2500, BM5000

These models are designed to lift heavy, thick plates and blocks. The maximum lift capacity is obtained on material thicknesses of 50mm and above and on relitavely flat, machined surfaces. Model BM5000 has two independantly suspended ‘2500’ magnets to lift large objects.

Model BM3600

This model is specially designed for plate lifting from 3mm thickness and up. Provided a smooth and flat surface, this magnet will lift a plate of 2400 x 1800mm of 3mm thick and even 6 x 3 metres when 25mm thick! The “tip-off” feature allows to drop excess plates in case multiple plates are picked up from a stack.

BMP series for Flat, Rounds and Structurals

BMP1800, BMP3600

These so-called bi-polar lifting magnets with V-shaped pole shoes are designed to lift both flat and round material as well as I- and H-shaped beams, angles, channels, Tees and Zees. The maximum lift capacity is obtained on material thicknesses of 50mm and above. Thanks to the good depth of field, these models cope very well with irregular surfaces.
