Overview
ABLE PML500 Permanent Magnetic Lifter, 500 kg Capacity
The ABLE PML500 Permanent Magnetic Lifter provides a reliable, electricity-free solution for lifting and transporting flat and round steel components in workshops, fabrication yards, steel stockholders and general industry. Simply place the lifter onto the workpiece, engage the lever and lift, no slings, chains, clamps or other holding devices are required, so the surface of the lifted goods is fully protected from damage.
The magnetic force is generated entirely by permanent magnets, meaning no power supply is needed on site. Once the lifter is switched off, less than 1% residual magnetism remains, making release clean and safe. The highest pulling force is 3.0 times greater than the rated working load limit, providing a substantial safety margin.
Key Features
- 500 kg flat-plate lifting capacity; 160 kg round-bar capacity
- Proof load tested to 1,500 kg
- No electricity required, fully self-contained permanent magnet operation
- Less than 1% residual magnetism after release
- One-handed operation via simple lever switch with integrated safety button
- Working temperature range: −40 °C to +80 °C
- CE marked; GS certified (Safe Lift)
- Compact and robust cast-steel body finished in green
- Suitable for flat plate and round bar steel sections
Lifting capacity is affected by workpiece thickness and surface roughness. If surface roughness (Ra) is less than 6.3 µm, full 100% capacity is achieved. For surfaces rougher than 6.3 µm, an air-gap allowance must be estimated using the capacity curve. Always consult the capacity chart before use.
