If you operate within an industry that handles large amounts of ferrous metals, you will need a mechanized system to move that metal around. Historically, chains and hoists have been used to lift heavy materials but now many industries prefer [...]
Lifting heavy metal materials is an everyday necessity in many metalworking industries. This is often facilitated through the use of high-strength, industrial magnets in conjunction with overhead lifting equipment. Two such types of lifting magnets are Permanent Magnets and ElectroMagnets, [...]
One of the keys to the success and strong performance of Permadur's permanent lifting magnets is their fundamental magnetic material: Neodymium, which has a number of properties that make it the ideal magnet for use as permanent [...]
It's everyone's worst fear come to life: 2,900 pounds of steel come raining down from above. For one Ohio worker—his arm crushed beneath that load—things will never be the same. At the center of this incident was the malfunction of [...]
Contrary to popular belief, a permanent lifting magnet does not remain in its "permanent" state by default. Proper permanent lifting magnet maintenance is required to maintain its potency. A failure to take care of permanent lifting magnets with the correct protocol could [...]
Material Handling is one of many applications where Neodymium magnets excel In our industry, permanent lifting magnets are a vital cog in the machine for companies engaged in material handling. Neodymium magnets are the most widely used rare-earth magnets, and these types of magnets are especially important for there usability in a variety of capacities in material handling. But did you know that neodymium magnets are used for many other applications as well? […]
Lifting Magnets have the safety features and cost-effectiveness to make a difference for your business. If your organization is in the business of dealing with ferrous materials, you’re well aware of the challenges involved with safely and efficiently moving and transporting heavy materials. It is crucially important to have a safe, reliable, and cost-effective system in place to move the materials. There are a number of different systems to choose from, such as slings, chains, hoists, cranes, and lifting magnets. Permadur’s lifting magnet systems were designed for a faster, simpler, safer and more cost-effective approach to material handling. […]
A simple step-by-step process on how Permadur permanent lifting magnets work Permanent magnets have almost always been a staple in the material handling industry. Permadur products specifically are at the forefront of the material industry today and have been for many [...]
As a leading provider of load handling systems, any major event in our industry, from materials to new safety measures, makes us take notice. The 2018 announcement of tariffs on steel imports is no exception. President Trump has recently proposed a [...]
In a previous blog post, we provided a general overview for choosing the right permanent lifting magnet for a specific job/application. In this post, we’ll get a little more in depth to help you determine which lifting magnet system would be the [...]
