Permanent lifting magnet for manipulating sheet metal and steel sheets from 3 mm thick. In the horizontal position you can manipulate loads of up to 250 kg, in the vertical position up to 80 kg. Thanks to the unique pole configuration, it is possible to manipulate single sheets from a stack with a thickness of 4 mm and above with this magnet. At the same time, this configuration significantly reduces on separation of thin metal sheets. The magnet meets the requirements of a safety factor of 4:1.
