I was a little nervous purchasing this item as there aren’t many reviews on it and only some generic YouTube videos that are worthless. But I bought it to move a 1250 lb. sheet of steel around and it worked without any issues. My only regret is not buying it sooner because I was having to get pretty creative moving that sheet of steel around and it wasn’t very safe doing so. All in all it did a great job for me and being a metal worker I’m sure I will put it to good use in the future.
Magnet works well so long as plate is smooth and free of rust. However NEVER stand under load because it may slip. When moving large plate I am sure to wire wheel the surface free of rust and always stand clear when lifting.
I'm impressed with it's strength. However, as I use it for fabrication, and work with multiple pieces stacked together, it sometimes will "grab" 2 or 3 parts at a time. Which could become a pinching hazard or a drop risk. Overall, It's AMAZING.
This product arrived in perfect condition and worked exactly as described. We purchased several of them in various sizes for our Plasma tables. They are simplifying the process and saving time and the employees backs. Thank you for a great product! Would recommend to anyone looking for a very affordable lifting magnet without sacrificing quality. DB
The first thing I did was load test these with a full sheet of 3/4" plate weighing 1700 lbs and neither of the 2 I purchased would pick the sheet so be wary of the load rating. On the plus side, these handle picking parts off of the plasma table and moving parts around the shop great. The ergonomics are fantastic, everyone here loves the locking handle setup. It's much easier to flip than my exponentially more expensive lifting magnets. I will be buying several more of these.
