Eclipse Magnetics MHL Magnetic Hand Lifter
The Magnetic Hand Lifter is a Magnetic Pick-Up and Plate Drag unit - a small yet very powerful magnetic pick-up tool that lets you pick up ferrous components such as plates and discs very easily. The non-slip rubber handle makes using it very comfortable
The Magnetic Hand Lifter is capable of picking up parts up to 15kg (33lb) in weight (taking into account a 3:1 Safety Factor) - previously rated at 45kg (99lb) without the Safety Factor. Only use this as a ferrous plate drag on thin plate and sheet. Never use it as a dedicated Lifter (we offer dedicated Magnetic Lifters with built-in 3:1 Safety Factor for Lifting applications)
The Magnetic Hand Lifter is great for creating temporary barriers using barrier/hazard tape between ferrous racking in warehouses - you can cordon off an area quickly and safely. You can also quickly and easily pick up ferrous components that may include discs, plates or even parts that are awkward shapes or sizes. You can use it to transfer small plates, discs etc from one work area to the next (if safe to do so - noting that, from the above information, a Magnetic Lifter is the H&S choice for a safe lift of plate). It can be used to grab magnetic screws, nails, etc but removing them easily may be not so simple due to the high hold force rating
The rubber grip makes using it easier. Simply put it against a ferrous part (e.g. mild steel) and it will start to clamp. To release, you ‘lever’ the part away (to make an air gap to start to break the magnetic circuit) - tilting it to the side relative to the part whilst pulling it away (you may need to push the clamped part away as well). The level of hold varies with application and will be reduced if the material is less magnetic, if there are air gaps, smaller part being picked, etc - the performance is application specific
Benefits:-
- Pick-up ferrous parts such as plates, discs
- Easy to attach, easy to release
- Comfortable rubber grip non-slip handle
- High hold force potential
- Up to 15kg pull force (with 3:1 Safey Factor applied)
