Loadstar Series Lifting Magnets

The Loadstar series of lifting magnets are favorites of the scrap handling industry due to their heavy-duty construction and deep field design. Loadstar is specifically engineered to provide our customers maximum production scrap handling profitability and long productive life. The heart of Loadstar's superior strength is a cast, steel magnet case with integrally cast, ribbed sections. High-strength alloy steel lifting chains and an extra thick work hardening manganese bottom plate complete the design circuit. The result is high day-to-day production, long service life and easy serviceability. When you consider the responsible, low initial cost of a Loadstar, you'll know that you're looking at an uncontested long-term value for your operation.

NEW!: Ohio Model 48", 58" and 67" SLS

We've introduced another reason why users prefer Ohio Magnetics -- the Model 48 SLS, Model 58 SLS and Model 67 SLS, lifting magnets with even greater lifting capacity, increased duty cycle and cooler operating temperatures for your most demanding applications.
