Granada is able to offer a small range of permanent lifting magnets, which are a cost-effective and more widely accessible solution to electro-powered magnets or vacuum when lifting from beneath or around the load is not possible with a sling or chain.
These lifting magnets are operated by hand with a lever action. Once engaged via the lever, which locks into position, they cannot be de-magnetized without operating the magnet lever. All permanent lifting magnets of this type have a 3:1 factor of safety when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s correct operating instructions.
All our permanent magnets come identified with a serial or batch number and all slings and lifting equipment or accessories supplied by Granada come complete with a valid test certificate.
Permanent magnets are classified as a “lifting accessory” and are covered by LOLER regulations. All slings should be thoroughly examined by a competent person at periods not exceeding 6 months.
