Proper use
The permanent lifting magnet TML 500lb is designed to lift ferromagnetic, metallic loads and may only be used
according to its technical data and determination. Proper use includes adherence to the start-up, operating,
environment and maintenance conditions specified by the manufacturer. The user bears sole responsibility for
understanding the operating manual as well as for proper use and maintenance of the lifting magnet.
Device description
The TML (Total Material Lifter) is a switchable lifting magnet with manual actuation for the lifting, transporting and
lowering of ferromagnetic materials. By pressing the lever (F) down, the magnetic field generated by the permanent
magnet (D) can be activated in the lower magnetic plate area (C). Thanks to the special design, a very compact
magnetic field is generated which develops excellent adhesive force, especially on thin materials (less than 10
mm). The magnet can be deactivated by first pressing the safety tab (E) with the heel of the hand and then moving
the lever upwards. An eyelet (A) is situated on the top of the lifting magnet for attachment to a crane. The load-
bearing capacity of the lifting magnet is equivalent to 1/3 of the maximum breakaway force of the magnet and thus
is equivalent to the standard safety factor 3:1.
