AWL / CWL

 

The AWL (aluminum coil) and CWL (copper coil) series of lifting magnets are ideally suited for severe scrap handling duty, such as for drop balls, ingots, molds and crop ends handling, and slag reclamation. The heavy cast steel magnet case, alloy steel lifting chains and quick-disconnect lead assemblies ensure that these magnets remain productive over a long life.

Typical Applications

  • Production Scrap Handling

  • Mill Duty

Lifting Magnet Design Form (Excel form)

 

Features

  • Aluminum wound coils as standard design (AWL); Copper wound coils available for hot-work applications and added lifting capacity (CWL)

  • Deep field as standard design; Extra-deep field design (DAWL), to provide maximum gripping force

  • Heavy duty cast case construction and alloy steel lifting chains, for maximum productive life

  • Quick-disconnect lead assemblies, to provide speed and ease-of-use
