The dangers of inferior lifting magnets

Permanent-Electro Lifting Magnets

Lifting magnets that allow magnetic field to present at the top (non-lifting) face of the magnet, may be unsafe. Tecnomagnete's MaxX lifting magnets from Serpent & Dove employ a patented neutral crown technology that ensures all of the available magnetic field is directed to the working face of the lifting magnet.

Safety and convenience are the two major reasons why businesses are moving towards lifting magnet solutions. With these magnets replacing mechanical clamps, slings and webbing more and more across a huge number of different industries, safety is becoming a paramount concern. Not all lifting magnets however use a safe design.

Many permanent on/off magnetic lifters use an inferior design that fails to concentrate all of the available magnetic field at the lifting face. This can have catastrophic consequences especially when a magnetic field is also present at the top of the magnet. Other potentially dangerous situations arise when the user chooses to mount the magnets onto or within equipment using solid steel mounts. In all of these circumstances the magnetic flux could be robbed from the lifting face to such an extent that capacity and safety are compromised.
