Challenger magnetic lifter, 300kg

The Challenger Magnetic Lifter is a hand-operated permanent magnet lifter for steel, engine parts, semi-manufactured goods and moulds, with no electricity needed. It has five models from 100kg to 2000kg.

That, because of the magnetic force, there is no need for slings, clamps or other holding devices, which removes the chance of damaging the lifted material. The rated capacity depends on the plate. This applies to low carbon material only, and plate with high carbon content reduces the capacity and is not recommended. The sheet is a guide only and each lift has to be assessed individually.

Where this product is used

• Lifting steel plate and flat stock from a bench, rack or stack
• Handling engine parts, moulds and semi-manufactured goods in workshops and fabrication shops
• Lifting where slings, clamps or other holding devices would mark the material

Features

• Breakaway force 3.5 times the working load limit
• No electricity needed
• Less than 1% residual magnetism once operated correctly
• Simple switch and safety button for one-handed operation
• Capacity reduces with thin plate, see the reduction figures

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Check the plate thickness before you choose the size: a thin plate cuts the effective capacity (for example 80% of the rated capacity for a CMG010 on 20mm plate). Keep the load inside the effective capacity for your plate. Lifting equipment must be used within its rated capacity, inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the applicable standards and regulations. Do not use it to lift or lower people. If you are unsure what suits your lift, speak to a qualified rigger before ordering.
