Keep a safe distance from heavy loads—these lifters automatically engage when set down, so you don’t have to secure the magnet to the load yourself. When these lifters sense they’ve been set down again, they’ll automatically release the load. Alternatively, use the push buttons on these lifters to manually turn the magnet on and off. As a fail-safe, the magnet stays engaged even if the battery dies, preventing your load from dropping. Pair these lifters with a crane or hoist. They’re often used to move large metal sheets and pipes but can also be used to position loads when grinding or fixturing metal parts together.

You can adjust the magnet’s strength on these lifters to protect thin materials from damage. Fine-tuning the strength is also useful for lifting just one sheet off a stack at a time.

Lifters with a remote control give you a way to manually turn the magnet on or off from a distance.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
