Magnetic Load Lifter
2
Permanent magnetic lifters are used to hoist and move
steel plates, iron blocks, press molds, and many other
magnetic material items. These lifters feature a powerful
magnet that is safe to handle and easy to operate. They
are widely used as the hoisting tool in factories, docks,
warehouses, and transportation industries.
These lifters have the magnetic path made by strong
Neodymium Iron Boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnetic material
which supplies permanent power. The handle is used as
the power supply switch that turns the magnetic force
“on” or “off”. When the crane is switched to the “on”
position, the magnetism of the crane bottom will form a
pair of longitudinal magnetic poles that will firmly absorb
the item. The “V” shape bottom groove is designed for
lifting flat and circular workpieces.
OPERATION
WARNING
•
NEVER attempt to operate this lift magnet until all
operation and safety instructions in this manual are
read and understood.
• ALWAYS use a safety hook latch on crane hooks to
hold lifting magnetics.
•
ALWAYS make sure that the load’s weight and
dimensions are within the magnet’s lifting guidelines.
1.
Check the condition of the magnet prior to every
operation. Wipe clean the bottom of the magnet and
the surface area on the load where the magnet will be
positioned. If necessary, file away any burrs on the
lifting load surface.
2. Check hook, chain, and all other support equipment
being used.
3. Position the magnet so the load will remain level when
lifted. Place the magnet at largest side/dimension of
your load.
4. Grip the handle firmly and pull from “OFF” to “ON”
position. Allow the slide pin to lock the handle in the
“ON” position and then release the handle.
5. Stay clear of the load and inform others in the area that
a lift is to begin.
6. Slowly lift load 2 to 3 inches to test and ensure that
adequate holding power is available.
7.
If test lift passes, continue to hoist the magnet
to desired height by lifting smoothly and without
any vibration, swinging, sudden acceleration or
deceleration, impaction, or objection. Always keep the
load level.
8.
Always stay clear of the load. Guide the load by
pushing or pulling the edges to keep your entire body
clear of the load at all times. Do not guide the load by
pushing or pulling the magnet. Keep entire body clear
of the load at all times.
9. To release the load, carefully set the lifting load down.
Grip the handle firmly, unlock the handle shaft, and
turn to the “OFF” position. Lift the magnet slightly to
ensure the load has been released.
10. Remove the lifting magnet and place it in a safe place.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS
• Operate and store in temperatures between -40°F to
176° (-40°C to 80°C).
• Avoid areas that encounter heavy impact or violent shakes.
• Keep away from metal erosion and metal agents not
being lifted.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before Every Lift:
• Check all parts for cracks or other defects. If present,
do not use the magnet. Call Global Industrial Customer
Service at 1-800-645-2986 for further information.
• All lifting surfaces of the magnet should be checked for
flatness and wear. Uneven wear will reduce the lifting
capacity due to air gaps.
• Check the condition of all safety and operating labels.
Contact Global Industrial if missing or damaged.
•
Check the operation of the handle. The handle
shaft should move freely when extended and return
promptly upon release. If there are any issues, contact
Global Industrial.
Keep the magnet’s lifting surface clean, smooth, flat, and
free of rust and foreign materials. Store the lifter in an area
free of metal chips, grit, and moisture. Nicks and burrs on
the lifting surfaces will reduce the lifting capacity. If burrs
occur, they can be removed by filing them away. Protect
magnetic poles from rusting with oil after use.
