Also known as permanent lifting magnets, these magnets hold a load until you pull the handle and pry the magnet off. They have a lifting eye for attaching a hook or sling.

Note: Capacities listed are based on lifting flat metal that has a clean, smooth surface. If used on dirty, oily, thin, or curved surfaces, the capacities will be reduced.

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

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 lifting magnets sense they’ve been set down again, they’ll automatically release the load. Alternatively, use the push buttons 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 to protect thin materials from damage. Fine-tuning the strength is also useful for lifting just one sheet off a stack at a time.

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

For heavy loads, these lifters have a stronger magnet than pull-release lifters and a lock to prevent accidental drops. To switch the magnet on and off, turn a handle or push a button. All lifters have a groove for grabbing round materials, such as pipe, in addition to flat materials.

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

No need for slings or chains—magnets on either side of these beams grip heavy, magnetic items, such as steel sheets and I-beams. They evenly distribute the load across multiple lifting points to maintain balance and stability. Adjust the placement of the magnets using the holes on each end of these beams. An on/off handle engages and releases the magnets.

The listed capacities are based on lifting metal that has a clean, smooth surface. Capacities will be reduced if used on dirty or oily surfaces. Do not use on metal that flexes.

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