MagnaLift MLQ permanent magnetic lifters lift and transfer steel and iron plate, blocks and round stock without slings, hooks or cables — and without marking the surface finish. No power is needed, so there is no risk from a power failure and no running cost.
Features
- 3.5:1 safety factor
- No power required — no hazards from power failure, no running costs
- Magnet cannot be switched on until it is sitting on the ferrous load
- Safety lock mechanism prevents accidental release
- Simple installation — just attach the top hook/eye to your hoist or crane
- Lightweight and compact; V-groove base lifts both flat and round material
- Lifts without damaging the surface finish
