The permanent magnet assemblies ranging from 12" to 96" in width are designed for the fast and efficient removal of hazardous scrap metal debris. These products are suitable for warehouses, loading docks, parking areas, runways, manufacturing and shop areas, jobsites, workshops and other important traffic areas.

Hang-Type Sweepers

The 36" and 48" hang-type sweepers feature a release handle built for quick and safe release of collected material. They include two eyebolts for securing in place on forklift forks or to suspend with a chain from a vehicle. "Powerful strength (330 lbs. pull for 36" and 440 lbs. pull for 48") allows for quick and effective sweeping of large areas," said a company spokesperson.

These products are designed to operate at road speeds up to 50 MPH between jobs and up to 10 MPH during sweeping.
