Hello, we are your sales team at AWISCO. Over the last 34 years AWISCO has developed a reputation for introducing new high-tech products to businesses to help them stay on the cutting edge of technology. We are recognized as the leading welding and industrial supplier in the New York Metropolitan area. Our technical salespeople are supported by an equally capable in-house sales support staff and a comprehensive warehouse inventory.

We would like to introduce you to a new technology that is “changing the way things are done.” This product was developed by Magswitch Technology Inc, a corporation based in Colorado. This technology is revolutionizing material handling accross the globe.

Nearly all of our customers have the need to move material, and Magswitch is changing the way you move and lift steel. Magswitch has developed a line of magnetic lifting tools that are unparalleled in the industry. This patented technology allows Magswitch to offer tool that are lighter, easier and safer to use, and have much stronger hold on thin material.

AWISCO Introduces Magswitch Heavy Lifters.AWISCO is pleased to offer this line of Magswitch heavy magnetic lifters. From lifting manhole covers to structural steel, Magswitch has the tool for any job.

Most magnetic lifters sold on the market today use lift ratings based on performance on steel that is 2” or thicker. We believe this is misleading to most users who operate in the real world of ¼” thru 1” steel. This is the area where Magswitch achieves superior performance.

Here at AWISCO, we are proud to bring our customers new and exciting products, and we would like to offer you some advice on the right lifter to meet your needs. If you are not familiar with magnetic lifters, we suggest you ask our sales team for some more information about how Magswitch is “changing the way things are done.”

Magswitch designs, manufactures, tests, and distributes their tools through the Magswitch group of companies. All Magswitch tools are manufactured by Magswitch employees in their wholly owned, ISO 9001 quality standard facility. Magswitch is a corporation that stands behind is products from quality manufacturing through after sales service.

Technology Advantages: Magswitch lifters exert full hold force on thin steel. » The majority of steel lifted is less than 1” inch thick. » Old technology lifters hold far less on thinner steel.» Our shallow field MLAY600 series exerts full hold force at only 1/2”.» Our deep field MLAY1000 exerts full hold force at only 3/4” inch.

» Don’t buy a lifter based on max hold weight – buy the lifter that is right for the steel you lift.

Better hold on uneven, dirty steel or on round shapes.» Magswitch lifters feature a more concentrated flux field. This translates to a safer hold when lifting these types of materials.» Safety is paramount – buy Magswitch for a stronger hold.

Magswitch Lifters are easier to turn on. » No ergonomic nightmares turning on a Magswitch lifter. A huge application advantage, especially on the larger lifters where old technology lifters are virtually impossible to turn on, on steel 1” inch thick or less.

World’s first! Magswitch technology enables full field saturation at 1.25”/30mm on our one ton and two ton lifters.

Magswitch lifters are lighter, easier and safer to handle.

Feature Advantages: Dual hook: load stability(Patent Pending – App #61/665,611 USA). » Use both hooks for safer lifts as the force of the lift exerts a stabilizing force on the magnet and reduces dangerous swings in the load.

Single hook: lift from horizontal to vertical.» Use one swivel hook when lifting from flat to vertical.

Lock on, lock off handle » Better safety.

Replaceable pole shoes. » The bottom takes the beating – but is important to keep smooth for safe lifting. Periodically replace the pole shoes to extend the life of the lifter.

Choosing the right lifter is very important for safer lifting. NEVER select lifters based only on “max lift rating”. There are other critical factors in the decision. The old technology lifters market this way (max lift), but lift ratings drop off dramatically on thinner steel – which is most of the steel you handle. ALWAYS select lifters based on what you are lifting.

Important considerations when choosing a lifter:

What is the thickness of the piece I am lifting? If ½” or less – you need a shallow field Tool. TheMLAY 600 series is designed specifically for halfinch material from 200 lbs to 800 lbs in onestability improved unit.

What is the weight of the piece I am lifting?

What is the dimension of the piece I am lifting? If round or odd shaped – The MLAY 1000 series is our deep field unit and is the better choice. Designed for coated steel, rough surfaces andround stock.

What is the type of steel I am lifting? If a porous or dirty material – consider the MLAY1000 for deeper field hold.

Do I need remote on/off control – for example, lowering a piece on a cutting table? Consider the cordless electric heavy lifter (Part #8100387).

Magswitch delivers safety.When using magnetic lifters, always play it safe. Saving a few dollars on a magnetic lifter is not worth the risk. Safety comes first. When you look at the grid below, look at the rated safe lift capabilities of each magnet and note the magnets that qualify for the job. Then consider your answers to the selection criteria and adjust your choice to select the ideal lifter. Always keep in mind how old technology lifters drop off significantly from max hold force on thinner material. Don’t buy a lifting magnet based only on “max” hold, and then find out it doesn’t hold as expected on thinner material.

Chart values represent data collected using SAE 1020 steel only. Please consult your distributor for information regarding de-rating factors for other materials. *Estimated. **Note: no information contained herein may take precedence over ASME B30.20 standard. Many factors contribute to the actual breakaway force in each application. Always test the magswitch in each application before deployment.
