Lifting Magnets COMPLETE LINE
Lift, move or position regardless of size, weight or shape — in fewer man hours — reliably and economically. Lifting magnets make
quick work of difficult, time-consuming steel handling. Magnets possess a unique property of attraction which can be harnessed to ease
and speed one’s work. The payoff is an immediate improvement in efficiency and operating economy. Magnets lift and transfer steel and
iron without slings, hooks or cables – and without marring the surface. They require fewer operators and helpers, and when properly
installed and operated, provide greater safety than many other mechanical material handling devices.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Electric Lift Magnets
• Available in capacities up to 59,000 lbs (26,761 kgs)
• Wide range of models to lift various shapes and sizes
Lift Systems
• Complete systems available, including lift beams
with multiple magnets and controls
Eriez Bi-Polar Magnets, with a wide range of optional pole-plate
configurations, are ideally suited for handling pipe, rounds,
bundles, angles and shapes. They can be used in single or
multiple-magnet applications.

Multiple Selecto Magnets on a lift beam efficiently handle large Heavy-Duty Rectangular Magnets provide maximum efficiency
steel sheets. In this installation, plates up to 10' x 50' x 4" (3 m x in multiple-plate handling applications like this.
15 m x 102 mm) are sorted and transported. The operator has
precise remote control of every magnet so those not in use can
be turned off, and single sheets can be placed when desired from
multiple-sheet lifts.

The Eriez Heavy-Duty Rectangular Magnet is effective in single

or multiple-magnet applications for handling heavy fabrications
or for lifting several thicknesses of sheet or plate at one time.

Heavy-Duty Rectangular ELECTRO LIFTING MAGNETS

Powerful magnets up to 8’ (2.4 m) long to lift, move and position

heavy beams, channels, bars and flat steel plate.
These magnets are designed to give maximum efficiency in
multiple plate handling applications, such as loading and unloading
ships, barges, rail cars and trucks; and for transfer operations in
storage yards, shipyards, steel mills and warehouses.
The rugged, deep-field construction also makes the magnet
especially effective in handling billets, slabs and large fabrications.
The Model 1321 lends itself to either single-magnet application or
multiple-magnet lifting-beam installations.
Eriez has the capability to design and build complete Lifting
Magnet Systems, including magnets, lift beams, power supplies,
controls and battery backup systems which automatically take
over and provide emergency handling in the event of electrical
power failure.

FEATURES
• All models are of hefty 12-3/4" x 21"
(324 mm x 533 mm) cross section
• Three-pole magnet for reliable, positive
grip on flat surface
• Heavy-duty

 Square Bi-Polar LIFTING MAGNETS

Specifically designed to provide greater holding on coils, bundles

of bar, re-bar, tubes or pipes.
Eriez’ line of Square Bi-Polar Magnets provides for lifting of
banded coils and miscellaneous bundled shapes.
Bi-Polar magnets can be used in either single-magnet or multiple
magnet applications and with a variety of suspension systems.
Eriez designs and builds complete systems including magnets, lift
beams, power supplies, controls and battery back-up units.
When the application is lifting bundles of pipe or re-bar, tapered
pole shoes can be added.
Radiused or contoured poles are available for large rounds.
Extended poles are recommended for high-temperature
applications and flat poles should be specified for thin and
heavy loads.

FEATURES
• Six sizes available
• For handling of various bundled materials
• Special-shaped pole shoes available

Circular LIFTING MAGNETS

Circular magnets handle all kinds of steel, especially scrap,

efficiently and inexpensively.
Eriez’ Circular Lifting Magnets are general-purpose magnets with
many applications: in steel mills, steel service centers, ball mills; for
furnace charging and other material-handling jobs.
Their design provides a 75-percent duty cycle with a high lift-to-
weight ratio. A triple-sealed terminal box and super-alloy steel
chains are standard. Rectifiers, drop controllers and cable reels
are available as accessories.

FEATURES
• Computer-designed aluminum coil
• Fabricated construction
• Ribbed, manganese-steel bottom plate
Eriez’ Circular Lifting Magnets offer a high lift-
