Measure the real air gap
Paint, scale, rust, gaps or irregular pieces reduce magnetic contact and can change the safe lifting limit.

ROUND MAGNET / FERROUS LOADS
Round Lifting Electromagnet for Steel Scrap
Pick up compatible ferrous scrap and cast-steel pieces without mechanical bucket jaws. Useful holding force depends on the actual metal and contact conditions, not the magnet's diameter alone. State steel grade, piece size, temperature, surface condition and the way the load will be released; the electrical supply and power-loss response are part of the lifting design.

01 / SPECIFICATIONS
Rate the magnet for your actual steel and lift.
A magnet's usable lift changes with the cargo and its contact with the steel. The selected technical schedule should define the load case and electrical arrangement below.

| Parameter | Buyer input | Selected-unit confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Steel grade, shape and mix | Ferrous suitability and test piece |
| Contact | Coating, rust, gaps and surface profile | Effective contact area |
| Load geometry | Piece weight, thickness and size | Allowable lift for that shape |
| Temperature | Normal and peak load temperature | Approved operating limit |
| Electrical | Crane voltage and available feed | Magnet current, controls and cable |
| Power-loss protection | Operating and emergency procedure | Back-up or controlled set-down design |
| Crane load | Hook rating and lifting height | Magnet plus maximum load |
Do not use a magnet with aluminium, non-ferrous scrap or an unverified hot load. Ask for performance and testing for the stated steel, thickness, contact and temperature; include the magnet's self-weight in the crane load.
Does the listed magnetic force equal the weight I can safely lift?
No. Holding performance falls when steel is thin, irregular, painted, scaled, hot or only partly in contact. The approved load must reflect the actual worst-case material and the selected magnet's test, not an ideal laboratory pull-off figure.

02 / APPLICATIONS
Use magnet lifting where the metal makes reliable contact.
01
Ferrous scrap transfer
Collect compatible steel and cast-iron scrap when the selected magnet can grip the mix and hold the load through the full crane cycle.
02
Steel-yard loading
Move known steel shapes to a vehicle or bin with a planned pickup and release zone. Check load geometry and operator view.
03
Furnace-area material handling
State the normal and peak material temperature. Specify a suitable magnet and controls only after the hot-load condition has been assessed.
For long plate or sections that bend, a multi-magnet lifting beam may give better support. For non-ferrous or mixed irregular scrap, compare a mechanical grab. Compare the matching crane system.
03 / CONFIGURATION
Choose the attachment around the actual lift.
Size the magnet for the steel grade, thickness, shape, surface condition and heaviest actual lift. Coordinate the magnet, controller, cable and power-loss response as one crane system, then verify the selected load case with an agreed test.
04 / QUOTATION SCOPE
Compare a complete attachment package.
Equipment price, crane modifications and site services should be separated so your team knows what is supplied and what remains to be done locally.
Magnet and suspension
State diameter, housing, pole face, lifting lugs, connection arrangement and actual self-weight.
Electrical and controls
Identify power supply, control cabinet, cable system, switching and selected power-loss protection.
Performance evidence
Agree test loads, contact conditions, inspection records, operating instructions and commissioning support.

Questions to settle before buying.
Use these answers to prepare one technical and commercial brief for the selected unit.
Discuss this attachmentCan this lift aluminium?
No. A conventional lifting electromagnet requires suitable ferrous material. For aluminium or mixed non-ferrous scrap, discuss a mechanical grab or other engineered attachment.
Can I lift a hot slab?
Only if the selected magnet is expressly designed and approved for the actual material temperature. Send normal and peak values; do not assume a generic hot-load rating.
Does the plate have to be clean?
Surface coatings, scale, gaps and curvature reduce contact. Supply photos and thickness so the usable lift can be established for the actual load.
What happens during a power failure?
The electrical design should define alarms, any reserve supply, protected holding period and controlled set-down procedure for the selected duty.
What should be tested before acceptance?
Agree the material and geometry of the test loads, the operating and emergency functions, inspection records and site handover process in the order.
