Magswitch MLAY1000 Lifting Magnet
Available
The Magswitch MLAY1000 is a medium-duty lifting magnet for tight spaces, beams and medium sheets. It lifts steel only, in flat and round shapes, including thin and uneven pieces. You switch it on and off by hand with no power, and a safety locking handle holds the on and off positions.
Its deeper 70mm field works well on painted or rusty surfaces. A full-swivel hook lifts from the top or the side. It has a 3:1 safe working load of 151kg (333 lb) and a maximum breakaway of 454kg (1000 lb). Maximum breakaway is the force needed to pull the magnet off clean, flat, thick steel in the lab test (2" thick SAE1018 steel). It is not a safe working load, and many factors change the real figure, so test the magnet on your job before you lift.
