Magswitch Magnetic Extenda-Lift 600 - 600 lbs Max Breakaway

Magswitch is an Australian switchable magnet technology brand supplying magnetic lifting devices, welding magnets, magnetic clamps, angle holders, and utility hooks for steel plate handling, sheet metal fabrication, welding positioning, and lifting applications across Australia.

Magswitch MLAY series lifting magnets use switchable permanent magnet technology to provide on/off magnetic holding force for safe, controlled lifting of steel plate, sheet, and structural sections without power or pneumatic lines — the magnet is engaged and released by rotating a handle.

Where this product is used

Magswitch magnetic lifter products are used in steel fabrication, plate handling, sheet metal processing, and welding operations where controlled magnetic holding and release is required.

• Lifting steel plate, sheet metal, and structural sections in steel fabrication shops and steel service centres.
• Handling flat steel components in press shops, laser cutting operations, and plasma cutting facilities.
• Single-operator plate handling and positioning where a suction cup or sling lift is impractical on a steel surface.

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Select Magswitch lifting magnets by holding force (kg) — the MLAY series designation includes the rated capacity (e.g. MLAY600 = 600 kg, MLAY1000 = 1000 kg). Note that holding force varies with workpiece thickness, surface condition, and contact area — derated performance curves are available from Magswitch. Contact AIMS for lifting magnets in other capacity ratings, spreader beam configurations, or with AS 4991 load-tested documentation.
