All Magnetool Battery Operated Lift Magnets are versatile, compact and fully portable.
Their solid-contained power source allows them to be operated anywhere - inside or outside
the plant. Chains and slings are unnecessary. operation of these magnets does not depend
on an electric power source.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
- Heavy duty ON-OFF-RELEASE SWITCH located in front and recessed for
safety, yet easy to reach
- A SAFE CHARGE INDICATOR tells at a glance the charge condition of
the battery.
- BUILT-IN BATTERY CHARGER plugs into any 115 Volt A.C. outlet.
- ALL UNITS are available with optional Remote Control using a heavy
duty, hand held drum switch on a 6'0" cord. (must be specified at order time)
- Battery Lifts are complete with a 12 volt charger, automotive type
battery and charger cable
LIFTING RECOMMENDATIONS:
These units are designed to handle high density material such as
thick steel plate, blocks, smooth surfaced forgings, steel and cast iron castings, heavy,
rigid, flat structural steel, burnout's, etc. They are extremely useful in lifting heavy
work on and off grinders, mills, drill presses, etc. Material such as light gauge sheet
metal or any material that bends or flexes excessively, small parts, shavings, turnings,
scrap, etc., cannot be handled efficiently by this type of magnet.
Battery Lift Magnets are rated using a machined, flat, low carbon steel plate. The test
plate used for Battery Lift 2000 and 3000 a minimum of 1-1/4" thick; on Battery Lift
5000, 11000, and 15000 the test plate is 2" thick. From this break-away test the
magnets are derated by 50%. Material thinner than the test plates may be handled safely
but consideration must be given to the reduced holding capacity of the magnet. As the
material becomes thinner, there is less mass the magnetic force has to act on. Always
snatch the load as close to the floor as possible to assure positive contact and a clean
lift.
