Advantages of the 660 LBS Permanent Lifting Magnet

Increased Productivity and Efficiency

Significantly reduce the handling time of your metal loads. Unlike traditional slings, chains, or clamps, magnetic activation is instantaneous. A single operator can quickly handle loads of up to 300 kg without assistance, improving your workshop's workflow.

Maximum Security for Your Operations

The 3:1 safety factor means the magnet can withstand three times its rated load before breaking. The lever locking mechanism prevents accidental deactivation, even during shocks or vibrations. Your team can work with confidence using CE-certified equipment.

Long-Term Savings

No energy costs, as the permanent magnet requires no electricity. Minimal maintenance thanks to the robust design with no electrical or hydraulic components. Exceptional durability of neodymium, which retains its magnetic strength for decades. A profitable investment that pays for itself quickly.

Versatility and Adaptability

The V-shaped base allows for lifting both flat plates and steel tubes, bars, and cylinders. Suitable for use in all industrial environments, from small workshops to large factories. Its compact and lightweight design facilitates transport and use in confined spaces.

Recommended Additional Accessories

Optimize your investment with these additional pieces of equipment:

• 500 kg Manual Chain Hoist- Ideal combination with a magnet for precisely lifting and positioning your loads. Allows for safe vertical lifting. Sold separately.
• Reinforced Handling Gloves - Hand protection during lifting operations. Secure, non-slip grip. Sold separately.

First Use

Preparing your new permanent lifting magnet:

1. Complete Visual Inspection

Check the overall condition of the magnet upon receipt. Verify that the activation lever operates freely without obstruction and that the locking mechanism engages correctly. Inspect the contact surface to ensure it is clean, smooth, and free from damage or deformation.

2. No-Load Function Test

Operate the lever several times in the OFF and ON positions to familiarize yourself with the mechanism. Check that the safety lock engages firmly in the ON position. Ensure that the lever returns easily to the OFF position when released.

3. First Test with Light Load

Perform a test with a steel plate weighing 50-100 kg and at least 15 mm thick. Lift the load only 10-15 cm from the ground and hold for 30 seconds. Check for stability and that there is no slippage before gradually increasing the height and weight.

4. Reading the Safety Manual

Carefully consult the load chart included in the manual. Note the minimum thickness limitations depending on the type of material. Familiarize yourself with the safety precautions and situations to absolutely avoid.

Regular Maintenance

To maximize the lifespan of your permanent lifting magnet:

After each use:

• Clean the contact sole with a dry cloth to remove metallic dust and particles
• Visually inspect the condition of the lever and locking mechanism
• Store the magnet in the OFF position in a dry place away from moisture.

Monthly inspection:

• Check the magnet body for any cracks or deformations.
• Test the proper functioning of the activation lever and the safety lock.
• Examine the condition of the chrome lifting ring for wear or corrosion
• Clean the accessible internal mechanisms with a soft brush

Quarterly performance review:

• Perform a lifting test with a known load to verify the maintenance of the magnetic force
• Compare the performance to the original specifications
• Document any unusual changes in the magnet's behavior.

Cleaning and Maintenance

In-depth maintenance procedures:

Cleaning the magnetic soleplate:

Use a soft wire brush to remove any adhered metal particles. Wipe with a cloth dampened with a mild degreaser to remove oils and residue. Dry completely before storing. Never use harsh solvents or chemical strippers that could damage the protective coating.

Lubrication of the mechanism:

Apply a thin layer of light grease to the lever's pivot points every 6 months. Operate the lever several times to distribute the lubricant evenly. Wipe away any excess to prevent dust buildup.

Maintenance of the lifting ring:

Inspect regularly for signs of wear or deformation. If surface corrosion appears, clean with a wire brush and apply rust-preventative spray. Replace the ring immediately if excessive wear or cracks are detected.

Precautions for Use

For your safety and that of your team:

• Never exceed the nominal load capacity of 300 kg for flat materials or 150 kg for cylinders. Strictly adhere to these limits to prevent load falls and serious accidents.
• Do not use on materials less than 12 mm thick. On very thin steel, the bonding force is insufficient and presents a major risk of detachment.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 80 degrees Celsius. Excessive heat can partially demagnetize the neodymium magnet and permanently reduce its performance.
• Never use the magnet on dirty, rusty, painted, or coated surfaces. Any air gap drastically reduces the magnetic force and compromises lifting safety.
• Strictly forbidden to use for lifting people or over occupied areas. The lifting magnet is designed for materials only, never for live loads.
• Maintain a safe distance from pacemakers and sensitive electronic devices. The strong magnetic field may interfere with their operation.

Storage Tips

Short-term storage (daily use):

• Store in the OFF position with the lever deactivated in the workshop tool area.
• Avoid contact with other metal tools that could stick.
• Protect from excessive moisture and liquid splashes
• Ideal ambient temperature between 10 and 40 degrees Celsius

Long-term storage (more than 30 days):

• Thoroughly clean all surfaces before prolonged storage
• Apply a thin layer of protective oil to exposed metal parts.
• Wrap in plastic or fabric for protection against moisture
• Store in a dry, temperate place between 5 and 25 degrees Celsius
• Inspect every 2-3 months and reactivate the lever several times to maintain the mechanism

Winter storage in Quebec:

• The magnet is cold-resistant down to -30 degrees Celsius during storage
• For winter outdoor use, do not go below -10 degrees Celsius.
• Allow the magnet to warm up to room temperature before intensive use
• Check for condensation on the sole, which would reduce grip.
• Expected lifespan with proper storage: over 20 years
