Source for lifting magnets?

admin

I searched the forum, not much came up.  I'm in the market for a 200-300 lb capacity lifting magnet.  It would be for bundles of stock, sheets to 1/4", etc.  I've seen several online and was wondering what others on the forum use.Thanks...Enough stuff to build and repair wrinkled up race cars or bring a classic back to life...

Reply:the steel yard loads it with a magnet that is variable power and capable of lifting 5000lbs -10,000lbs most likely.    a HUGE difference in comparison to a magnet working at capacity.      picking a bundle with a small magnet is ASKING for a disaster or massive bodily injury.Vantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.

Reply:Mcmaster Carr is a good source for quality magnets. I would have to agree with others on the use though.Miller Pro 30068 SA 20064 SAF 300305 G Lincoln gasserMiller 210
