Versatile, Compact, and Easy to Operate
MPI Lifting Magnets facilitate the movement of materials without causing deformation or damage, offering a compact and versatile solution to replace ropes, chains, and clamps. These permanently magnetized tools operate without electricity and feature an easy on/off lever for safe loading and unloading. Utilizing high-energy neodymium magnets, they can lift weights ranging from 0 to 4,400 lbs. while ensuring safety through a stainless-steel lifting eye. The innovative Easy-Switch system allows for efficient one-handed operation, significantly reducing time spent. Applicable across various industries like steel mills and shipyards, MPI Lifting Magnets provide exceptional strength in a lightweight design, fitting for different shapes such as round bars and flat plates. Six flat lift models are available with capacities from 330 to 4,400 lbs., with round lift capacities at around 50% of those ratings, and safety is enhanced with a breakaway force that exceeds safe lifting limits by over three times. For precise capabilities, a lifting chart is available based on size and surface finish.

Permanent Lifting Magnet Product Details
They replace ropes, chains, and clamps because of the ability to easily control the magnet and the strong force. MPI Lifting Magnets are permanently magnetized so they do not need electricity to operate. Workpieces are safely loaded and unloaded with the simple on/off lever.
Since they contain high energy neodymium magnets, they offer incredible lifting capacity. For instance, weights range from 0 to 4,400 lbs. The strong, stainless-steel lifting eye clamps the product from the top. This avoids deforming or damaging the load.
Blocks of high-energy neodymium magnetic material power the Lifting Magnets. Using only one hand, the Easy-Switch system activates the magnet On and Off. This saves over 40% of the time.
The magnet switches from On to Off by reversing the blocks. The On position’s reversible block is parallel. This static block produces a concentrated magnetic field. The Off position’s reversible block rotates 180 degrees. This creates a total magnetic short circuit.
Position
Place the Permanent Lifting Magnet flat onto the clean surface of the ferrous material.
Engage
Pull or rotate the handle/lever to the ON position. This rotates or slides the internal magnetic core, extending its magnetic field outward to lock onto the metal securely.
Lift
Attach your crane hook or lifting equipment to the built-in lifting eye. Lift the load—no power supply needed.
Move & Position
Safely transport and position the load as required.
Release
Lower the load into place. Shift the lever back to the OFF position to rotate or retract the magnetic core, collapsing the magnetic field internally.
Remove
The magnet detaches cleanly with zero residual force, ready for the next lift.
