    Style A

    Style D

    Style E

    Also known as permanent lifting magnets, these magnets have an on/off handle to engage and release the magnet. All can lock in the on position to prevent accidental release. All except Style C can also lock in the off position. Use the lifting eye for attaching a hook or sling. All can lift both flat and cylindrical objects.
    Note: If used on dirty, oily, thin, or curved surfaces, the capacities will be reduced. Do not use on metal that flexes.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Style E
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lifting Magnets. Switch-Off Lifting Magnets, Style E.
    Style E magnets are round to lift cylindrical objects by their flat top. They’re often used with rings, bearing housings, and flange plates. They lift cylindrical objects more efficiently than rectangular magnets and also release objects more smoothly and safely when switched off.
