WARNING
- ALWAYS stay clear of the lifting load.
- NEVER lift loads over people or in close proximity to people.
- NEVER use this magnet to lift, support or transport people.
- DO NOT leave suspended loads unattended.
- DO NOT hoist a load weighing more than the lift’s rated weight capacity.
- ALWAYS make sure that the supporting structure and load attaching devices (i.e. crane, chains, and hooks) are rated to support the weight of the magnet and load.
- NEVER lift more than one item at a time.
- The location of the lifting surface should be such to permit a leveled load once suspended.
- NEVER lift a load by its narrowest side/dimension.
- Keep lifter perfectly flat and parallel on the surface of the load.
- Keep magnetic load lifter and surface of the load clean and free of debris.
- Protect pole surfaces from rust after use by treating with oil.
- Store magnet in a dry environment.
- Monitor the magnetic surface over time to make sure it is flat and not damaged from use.
- DO NOT attempt to engage the magnetic lift before resting it on the lifting load.
- DO NOT hoist the load before locking the handle in the “ON” position and making sure the release handle is not interfering with the load.
- DO NOT hoist a load if it is flexing and/or unbalanced.
- DO NOT hoist a load before ensuring perfect magnetic contact. This may require a test lift of a couple of inches.
- DO NOT disengage the lift magnet without firmly setting down the load on the floor or support and making sure the load is completely stable.
- DO NOT place the lift magnet directly onto a grounded floor. Use a non-conductive spacer.
- DO NOT center the lift magnet by striking the sides of the lift with a hammer or other blunt instrument.
- DO NOT operate a lift magnet that is missing parts, damaged, or malfunctioning.
- DO NOT attempt to open, repair, or modify this lifter. If there is any difficulty lifting a load, contact Global Industrial at 1-800-645-2986 for assistance.

Permanent magnetic lifters are used to hoist and move steel plates, iron blocks, press molds, and many other magnetic material items. These lifters feature a powerful magnet that is safe to handle and easy to operate. They are widely used as the hoisting tool in factories, docks, warehouses, and transportation industries. These lifters have the magnetic path made by strong Neodymium Iron Boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnetic material which supplies permanent power. The handle is used as the power supply switch that turns the magnetic force “on” or “off”. When the crane is switched to the “on” position, the magnetism of the crane bottom will form a pair of longitudinal magnetic poles that will firmly absorb the item. The “V” shape bottom groove is designed for lifting flat and circular workpieces.
OPERATION
WARNING
- NEVER attempt to operate this lift magnet until all operation and safety instructions in this manual are read and understood.
- ALWAYS use a safety hook latch on crane hooks to hold lifting magnetics.
- ALWAYS make sure that the load’s weight and dimensions are within the magnet’s lifting guidelines.
- Check the condition of the magnet prior to every operation. Wipe clean the bottom of the magnet and the surface area on the load where the magnet will be positioned. If necessary, file away any burrs on the lifting load surface.
- Check hook, chain, and all other support equipment being used.
- Position the magnet so the load will remain level when lifted. Place the magnet at largest side/dimension of your load.
- Grip the handle firmly and pull from “OFF” to “ON” position. Allow the slide pin to lock the handle in the “ON” position and then release the handle.
- Stay clear of the load and inform others in the area that a lift is to begin.
- Slowly lift load 2 to 3 inches to test and ensure that adequate holding power is available.
- If test lift passes, continue to hoist the magnet to desired height by lifting smoothly and without any vibration, swinging, sudden acceleration or deceleration, impaction, or objection. Always keep the load level.
- Always stay clear oaf the load. Guide the load by pushing or pulling the edges to keep your entire body clear of the load at all times. Do not guide the load by pushing or pulling the magnet. Keep entire body clear of the load at all times.
- To release the load, carefully set the lifting load down. Grip the handle firmly, unlock the handle shaft, and turn to the “OFF” position. Lift the magnet slightly to ensure the load has been released.
- Remove the lifting magnet and place it in a safe place.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS
- Operate and store in temperatures between -40°F to 176° (-40°C to 80°C).
- Avoid areas that encounter heavy impact or violent shakes.
- Keep away from metal erosion and metal agents not being lifted.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before Every Lift:
- Check all parts for cracks or other defects. If present, do not use the magnet. Call Global Industrial Customer Service at 1-800-645-2986 for further information.
- All lifting surfaces of the magnet should be checked for flatness and wear. Uneven wear will reduce the lifting capacity due to air gaps.
- Check the condition of all safety and operating labels. Contact Global Industrial if missing or damaged.
- Check the operation of the handle. The handle shaft should move freely when extended and return promptly upon release. If there are any issues, contact Global Industrial.Keep the magnet’s lifting surface clean, smooth, flat, and free of rust and foreign materials. Store the lifter in an area free of metal chips, grit, and moisture. Nicks and burrs on the lifting surfaces will reduce the lifting capacity. If burrs occur, they can be removed by filing them away. Protect magnetic poles from rusting with oil after use.
