BM Series
With infra-red remote control
Lift and move heavy loads without restraint
 
Self contained lifting magnets
IR Remote control for BM-series liftingmagnets
  • Powered by build-in 12V battery for at least 8 hours of operation
  • Hand-held, IR remote control unit allows to operate the lifting magnet from up to 4.5 meter
High degree of safety
  • Bail sensor prevents magnet de-energization while lifting the load
  • Dual push buttons for RELEASE
  • Visual and audible alarms indicate low battery level
  • Magnet cannot be turned "ON" if battery charge is too low
  • Exhaustive lifting guidelines ensure a double lift capacity with respect to weight of load
BM-series liftingmagnets

Typical applications

These Battery Powered Lifting Magnets are extremely useful throughout the plant, around the yard, in receiving and shipping areas, cut-off saws, burning tables and machine tools. They have widespread applications for handling of machined components, die-blocks, smooth castings and forgings, plates, bars, pipes and structurals.

BM series for flat material

Models BM1350, BM2500 and BM5000
These models are designed to lift heavy, thick plates and blocks. The maximum lift capacity is obtained on material thicknesses of 50 mm and above and on relatively flat, machined surfaces. Model BM5000 has two independently suspended "2500" magnets to lift large objects

  Model BM3600
This model is specially designed for plate lifting from 3 mm thickness and up. Provided a smooth and flat surface, this magnet will lift a plate of 2400x1800 mm of 3 mm thick and even 6x3 metres when 25 mm thick! The "tip-off" feature allows to drop excess plates in case multiple plates are picked up from a stack.
 
BMP series for both flat and round material
Models BMP1800 and BMP3600
These so-called bi-polar lifting magnets with V-shaped pole shoes are designed to lift both flat and round material as well as I- and H-beams, angles, channels, Tees and Zees. The maximum lift capacity is obtained on material thickness of 50 mm and above. Thanks to the good depth of field, these models cope very well with irregular surfaces.
