2.2 Important Safety Information
ALWAYS
• Instruct new operators to read the handbook before using the Ultralift E Lifting Magnet
• Follow the instructions
• Use the entire pole area
• Fully engage the lifter in the“ON”position before lifting the load

2.3 Considerations for Use
The WLL data is generated by testing the magnetic lifters on a at ground mild steel plate
that has a thickness equal to or greater than that specied on the lifter data plate. This
information is also shown in Section 4 of this manual.
The optimum performance of a magnetic lifter is achieved when the pole faces are in good
condition and make intimate contact with a load of the recommended thickness.
Consideration should always be made to the size of the load (Section 4 Technical Data).
Whilst the load weight may be within the WLL of the lifter, as the unsupported area of the
load increases, natural exing will occur due to its own weight. This could have an adverse
eect on the safety of the lift. If in doubt always use a spreader beam and multiple lifters.
There are four factors that will reduce the magnetic clamping force:
1 Air Gaps
The high magnetic forces generated by the Lifting Magnets allow the lifter to clamp
components through air gaps. However this will ALWAYS have an adverse eect on the
lifter performance. Air gaps are generated in a number of ways. For example paint, dust,
scale or even a poor surface nish constitutes an air gap. The eect of air gaps are shown
within Section 4 of this manual. These graphs demonstrate the reduction in clamping force
generated by the lifter as the air gap increases.
2 Load Thickness
Should the Lifting Magnet be used to lift plates thinner than recommended for the lifter
there will be, dependent on the material thickness, a signicant drop in clamping force.
A selection of performance curves on thinner than recommended material is in Section 4
(Technical Data) of this manual.
3 Material Types
Certain materials exhibit dierent characteristics in their ability to carry magnetism. For
any material other than mild steel a reduction factor must be applied to calculate the
clamping force.
Typically these are as follows: -
Ferrous alloy steels 0.8
High carbon steel 0.7
Cast iron 0.55
For example, when lifting cast iron using ULE0300 lifter:
mild steel WLL = 300kg
cast iron reduction factor = 0.55
cast iron WLL = 300kg x 0.55 = 165kg

4 Contact Area
Maximum hold will only be achieved when the lifter has full contact with the component
to be lifted.
If the full face of the poles does not come into contact with the component to be lifted, for
instance due to holes in the component, the performance will be reduced pro-rata.

3 Getting Started
It is important to familiarise yourself with all the features of the Lifting
Magnet prior to use in a production environment.
Remove the lifter from the packaging and position on a mild steel plate
(load).
Secure the handle to the lifter using a hex key or allen key.
Note: It is recommended to use a thread-locking compound. Care should be
taken to ensure the load does not exceed the stated capacity of the lifter.
3.1 Understanding Your Lifter
The lifter is in the OFF position
To Switch the lifter ON
Rotate the handle 120˚ anti-clockwise beyond the
spring-loaded safety pin.
Ensure the lever is securely locked in place before
commencing with the lift.
The lifter is in the ON position
To switch the lifter OFF
Hold the handle and slide the locking pin (as
illustrated) to allow an unobstructed rotation of the
handle.
Rotate the handle 120˚ clockwise to the OFF Position.

* Please note that the Working Load Limit (WLL) is now used instead of Safe Working Load
(SWL). The Lifting force values shown include the 3:1 safety factor and have been based on
using thick high magnetic permeability steel with no air gaps. Air gaps, thinner materials
and materials with lower magnetic permeability can all reduce the pull force a lifter can
actually achieve. Please note that the achievable pull force is reduced when lifting thinner
mild steel plate. Please note that the diameter of the round bar can aect the amount of
lift that can be achieved. You must follow LOLER, PUWER, ASME B30.20 and H&S advice. You
should always check for a downrate, factor in any downrate to then perform a safety lift,
then perform a full lift only after a successful safety lift.
