What are lifting magnets?

Lifting magnets are industrial devices that pick up ferromagnetic loads — steel plate, billets, beams or scrap — using a magnetic field instead of slings alone. They come as permanent (no power to hold) or electro (power on to magnetise) designs. Arrowmatics Magnets supplies both for Malaysian fabrication yards, warehouses and mills.

What safety factor do you use for lifting magnets?

We size lifting magnets around a safety factor of about 3:1 relative to rated load under stated conditions (air gap, material thickness, surface condition). Always follow your site safety procedures, crane ratings and local regulations. Tell us load weight, plate thickness and lift style for a written recommendation.

Permanent vs electro

Permanent lifting magnets

Mechanical on/off (often lever or cam). No power needed to maintain hold — useful where power fails mid-lift must not drop the load. Suited to plate handling in workshops and yards when air gaps are controlled.

No hold power Plate / billet Workshop / yard

Electro lifting magnets

Energised coils create the field. Good for scrap, irregular loads and duty where remote on/off is needed. Require reliable power and typically a backup or control scheme per site rules.

Powered field Scrap / irregular Remote control

Capacities & what we need to quote

Rated capacity depends on steel grade, thickness, flatness, air gap and temperature — not a single catalogue number. We quote after you share:

  • Load weight and dimensions (plate L×W×T or scrap type)
  • Permanent or electro preference (or ask us to recommend)
  • Crane / hoist interface and duty cycle
  • Site constraints — outdoor, temperature, power availability
