When using lifting magnets, it is important to take several safety precautions to ensure safe and effective operation. Here are some of the most important safety precautions to take:

Follow instructions

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific lifting magnet being used. This includes proper installation, maintenance, and operation. Use proper lifting procedure when operating the lifting magnet, and avoid sudden movements or jerking motions.

Inspection before use

Before each use, inspect the lifting magnet for any damage or wear. For example, whether the magnet modules are loose or whether the connections are deformed. If any damage is found, do not use the magnet until it has been repaired or replaced.

Confirm the load capacity

Make sure the lifting magnetis rated for the weight of the load being lifted. If there is a large difference in the weight of the items that you need to handle, please purchase the lifting magnets for the maximum possible weight. The magnetic strength of HVR MAG electro-permanent lifting magnets can be adjusted in levels to suit the different applications. Lifting magnets with telescopic beam are also available.

Surface of the load

Ensure that the load being lifted is securely attached to the lifting magnet, and that the magnet is properly attached to the lifting equipment. This is because the greater the contact area between the item and the magnet, the greater the effective magnetic suction force. If there is a large air gap between the item and the magnet, there is a risk that the item may wobble or fall during handling.

Safe distance

Never lift a load over people or in areas where people are present. Keep a safe distance from the load being lifted, and ensure that others do the same. This is particularly important in factories.

Safety protection

To avoid manual errors during handling, it is advisable to choose a product with a safety protection function. HVR MAG lifting magnet has a landing detection function and a safety lock button to prevent the steel falling due to operating error.

By following these safety precautions, you can ensure safe and effective operation of lifting magnets in the workplace. If your are looking for electro-permanent lifting magnets, please contact us at: export@hvrmagnet.com
