10 O.S. Walker Inc., NEO Permanent Lifting Magnets
RECOMMENDED LIFTING PROCEDURES
SAFETY HOOK LATCH
Always use a safety hook latch on your crane
hook to hold your magnets.
STAY CLEAR OF THE LOAD
Guide the load by pushing or pulling the edges
of the load. Keep your entire body clear of the load
at all times.
PLATE LIFTING
On plates less than 1 1/2” (38mm) thick, position the
magnet length so that it is parallel to the width
of the plate. Never lift any plate less than 1/4”
(6mm) thick. (See Important Facts 2 & 4).
BAR LIFTING
When the load is thicker than 1 1/2”
(38mm), and the load width is less than the
magnet length, but wider than the magnet width,
position the magnet length so that the entire lifting
surface of the magnet is in contact with the load.
When the load width is less than the magnet width,
position the magnet so you get the maximum, and
equal amounts of each of the magnets pole areas in
contact with the load.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE LOAD’S
WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS ARE WITHIN THE
MAGNET’S LIFTING GUIDELINES.

WARNING
Never lift more than one workpiece
at a time with this magnet.
Never lift any castings that do not
have a machined fl at lifting surface
for the magnet. The location of the
lifting surface should be such to
permit the load to remain level when
lifted.
DANGER
• Never lift a
load by its
narrowest
dimension.
