Battery Lifting Magnet

The Battery Lifting Magnet houses an internal permanent magnet system controlled by an electric actuator powered by a rechargeable battery. When the operator presses the engage button (on the magnet or optional remote), the actuator shifts the magnetic core to activate its magnetic field outward, clamping securely onto the ferrous load. Once attached, the magnet holds the material with no additional battery drain. To release the load, the operator presses the disengage button, which shifts the core back, collapsing the magnetic field and dropping the part with zero residual hold.

The MPI Battery Lifting Magnet (BM), equipped with a remote control, is the perfect solution for situations where manual lifting is impractical. The remote allows for operation from up to 33 feet away.

This battery-powered lifting magnet is a must-have tool for workshops, particularly in receiving and shipping areas dealing with steel stock. It's also ideal for use with transportation crane accessories, burning tables, machine tools, and sawing applications.

The BM series is capable of managing loads ranging from 2,976 lbs. to 11,023 lbs., making it suitable for handling large steel sheets, heavy blocks, various flame-cut materials, machine parts, and smooth castings or forgings.

All BM battery-operated lifting magnets prioritize safety. They feature a synoptic display with a battery level LED indicator, shutdown blocking during the lifting process (thanks to the lifting eye sensor), and both audible and visual alerts for low battery levels. Users can engage the lifter using the controls on the magnet body or via the IR remote control from distances of up to 33 feet.

These battery-powered magnetic lifters are fully self-contained, offering a minimum of eight hours of operation with a 50% duty cycle. MPI’s BM series also come with Variable Force and Tip-Off functions, making it a versatile tool for lifting various steel plates—whether they are thin or thick and whether lifting several at once or just one for a controlled drop. This adjustable force makes it easy to pick up thin metal sheets from surfaces like machine tables, pallets, and benches.
