Direct Replacement of Vacuum Cups
MPI’s Permanent Magnet Parts Lifter is a compact, handheld magnetic tool engineered to make lifting, positioning, and handling small to medium ferrous parts safer and more efficient in metalworking and assembly environments. Using a powerful permanent magnet core, it provides instant, secure hold on steel sheets, blanks, or scrap pieces without the need for hooks, clamps, or direct hand contact. Operators simply engage or disengage the magnetic force with an easy-to-use lever, minimizing finger strain and improving ergonomics. Lightweight yet rugged, this tool increases productivity and reduces injury risks in repetitive part handling tasks common to machine shops, pressrooms, welding cells, and fabrication stations.

How It Works
How MPI's Permanent Magnet Parts Lifter
Position
Align the Permanent Magnet Parts Lifter directly over the ferrous part you wish to pick up.
Engage
Flip or slide the manual lever to the ON position. This moves the internal magnet into the active state, extending its field outward.
Lift
The magnet securely grips the part, allowing the operator to lift, carry, or reposition it easily with one hand.
Position & Place
Move the part to its desired location—such as into a press, onto a machine bed, or into a bin.
Release
Flip the lever back to the OFF position. This retracts the magnetic field internally, releasing the part cleanly with zero residual hold.
Ready for Next Use
Repeat the cycle—no power, charging, or downtime required.
