        Specifications

        When to choose MPI Permanent Crane Magnet:

        The MPI Permanent Crane Magnet handles and lifts metal sheets and steel plates from 0.12 in thickness. Loads of up to 551 lbs can be handled horizontally and 176 lbs vertically. The unique configuration of poles makes it possible to use this magnet and take individual metal plates from a stack starting with 0.16 in thickness. At the same time, this configuration reduces peel-off effect by thin metal sheets significantly. It is in compliance with a lifting capacity safety factor rating of 4:1.
