SafeHold Permanent Lift Magnets - EPL Series

FOB: Our Pennslyvania Warehouse

The Eriez Magnetics EPL Series Permanent Lift Magnets, available at Material Flow, are the ideal solution for heavy-duty steel and iron handling operations. Designed to offer maximum strength, safety, and versatility, these magnets eliminate the need for traditional lifting equipment such as slings, hooks, and cables. The EPL Series makes quick work of lifting flat materials and other steel objects, reducing handling time while increasing safety and productivity. These lift magnets are the highest-rated capacity magnets in their class, with models capable of handling loads up to 7,500 lbs on flat, clean, and polished steel surfaces.

Each EPL Series magnet is manually operated, featuring an easy-to-rotate handle with no backlash for seamless operation. The manual ON/OFF mechanism ensures reliable performance without requiring an external power supply, making these magnets a highly dependable lifting solution even in remote or power-restricted locations. Built to comply with ASME Standard B30.20, these magnets prioritize operator safety with a minimum 3:1 safety factor based on actual breakaway force.

These magnets are perfect for industries such as metal fabrication, shipbuilding, automotive manufacturing, and steel service centers—any application where efficiency and safety in material handling are paramount. The EPL Series is a true game-changer for lifting, handling, and transferring heavy steel loads with ease.

Key Features:

• Exceptional Lifting Capacity: Four models with capacities up to 7,500 lbs for flat, clean steel surfaces.
• No Power Supply Needed: Manual ON/OFF operation means total independence from external power sources.
• Precision Handling: Handle flat steel and iron materials safely and efficiently, significantly reducing handling time.
• Durable and Reliable: Engineered for maximum longevity with rugged construction and no electrical components.
• Ergonomic Design: Easy-to-rotate handle for smooth operation without backlash or resistance.
• Compliance and Safety: Designed with a minimum 3:1 safety factor, meeting ASME Standard B30.20 requirements.

Detailed Guidelines for Use:

• Surface Condition: Ensure the magnet face and load surface are clean, smooth, and free of coatings, paint, or scale to achieve maximum holding power. Any material between the magnet and the load will reduce its lifting capacity.
• Material Thickness: The lifting capacity decreases with thinner materials. For detailed capacity information on different thicknesses, consult a dealer or technical support.
• Material Composition: These magnets are optimized for low-carbon steel. Other materials may reduce lifting capacity and should be evaluated before use.
• Load Size and Positioning: Always center the magnet on the load’s center of gravity. Avoid tilted or unbalanced loads, as they reduce the magnet’s holding power and could compromise safety.
• Safety First: Always apply a minimum 3:1 safety factor and follow ASME Standard B30.20 guidelines for safe and efficient operation.

Applications:

• Steel Plate Handling: Ideal for moving large steel sheets in fabrication shops.
• Automotive Manufacturing: Efficient handling of metal components in assembly lines.
• Shipbuilding and Construction: Transfer heavy steel parts without traditional rigging.
• Metal Service Centers: Simplify inventory management by easily lifting and moving materials.

With the Eriez Magnetics EPL Series, you can streamline your steel and iron handling processes while improving operational safety and efficiency. These magnets are built for the toughest environments and are trusted by professionals in the most demanding industries.
