Billet Lifting and Bundle Handling Magnets

Because billets are seldom perfectly straight or flat, air gaps often exist between the billets to be lifted and the magnet. Walker Grabber Series billet lifting magnets have extra power built in to penetrate the air gaps for a more efficient, more certain grip every time. That means they can handle more billets per lift, day in and day out, eliminating multiple lifts per layer.

The penetration power of these magnets combined with rugged construction features ensures dependable, long life steel mill service. Grabber Series magnets come in a wide range of standard widths and lengths to accommodate your billet sizes and layer widths. Other sizes, as required for your applications, are readily available.
