Magnetic Lifter Testing

Our tests include Actual proof load testing up to 10000kg and magnetic gauss measurement for magnets over over 10000kg.
Also included in the inspection is pole shoe condition, safety locking device functions, clear marking of SWL, lifitng point integrity and general condition. Some minor adjustments needed to comply are included in the price.
Each compliant magnet is issued with official certificate and recorded on our register for proof of testing
For customers with high quantities of permanent lifters or that have large magnetic lifting beams etc testing can be carried out on site.

LOLER

Legislation requires you to have your Lifting Magnets tested and inspected on a regular basis. We offer fast economic in house or on-site test and certification for all types of Magnetic Lifters.
Each certification confirms the actual Magnetic power is sufficient to provide the rated SWL of the magnet (including safety factors) and that the construction of the lifter and its safety measures are Safe for use. You may be required to produce a certificate in the event of an incident.
As required by LOLER regulations all lifting accessories must be inspected and tested on a regular basis. Magnetic Systems will test your lifter and provide you with certification to ensure you are within guidelines giving you peace of mind in the knowledge your lifters and personnel are safe and that you meet your legal requirement. Magnetic Systems policy for the inspection and repair of lifting magnets is in accordance with the latest LOLER and British Standards recommendations.
  • Permanent lifting magnets
  • Battery lifting magnets
  • Electro-permanent lifting magnets
  • Electromagnet installations
As stated by LOLER - these inspections must be carried out at intervals of no more than 6 months.

TRAINING
The safe use of Magnetic Lifting Equipment

We are proud to announce our Magnetic Lifter Training programme is now online.
You can now take this course in the convenience of your own office or factory, no need to book appointments or disrupt production candidates can take the course when best suits you.
Current regulations (PUWER) require all users of work equipment including magnetic lifters undergo some training for that equipment, this course is intended to address this requirement by explaining the principles of magnetic lifting and demonstrating how to use this equipment in a safe manner.

Course format:

The course is presented on-line and consists of 4 modules and 11 sections. Each module consists of an introductory video, text and pictures.
The content covers limitations, possible causes of failure, non-standard lifts and round bar lifting.
Also included are practical demonstrations of magnet performance with regard to Air Gap and alloyed materials.
A final test of 30 questions allows us to be sure the candidates have understood the course and successful candidates receive certification.
