Switch-Off Lifting Magnets
Also known as permanent lifting magnets, these magnets have an on/off handle to engage and release the magnet. They have a lifting eye for attaching a hook or sling. Style B magnet includes a detachable vertical lifting eye that mounts to the side of the magnet to lift plates vertically. Style C magnet has a pivoting lifting eye for both horizontal and vertical lifting.
Style A and B handles lock in both the on and off positions to prevent accidental release. Style C handle locks in the on position only.
Note: Capacities listed are based on lifting flat, rigid metal that has a clean, smooth surface. 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.

Hand-Held Magnetic Lifters
Easily grab iron and steel fasteners, small sheets, and other parts from work areas, bins, and hard-to-reach places.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
Twist-Release Paired Magnets
These magnet pairs attract for a strong hold but repel when twisted 120 or 180 degrees for an easy release. Use them on doors, covers, and other parts that need to be repeatedly installed and removed. Also known as Polymagnets®.
Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free and unpainted iron plate. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.

Multi-Position Paired Magnets
These magnet pairs rotate into multiple positions to orient displays, sensors, and other devices. They hold firm at 90 or 120 degree increments, but turn easily without detaching. Also known as Polymagnets®.
Warning: Maximum pull ratings are based on direct contact with rust-free and unpainted iron plate. Variations in material condition will significantly reduce these ratings. Do not use for lifting over people.
