      They can help you keep your new high capacity furnaces full. Since new furnaces refine metal fast, they need more scrap to process. A Walker RLSD adds up to 50% more lift capacity to each load. Unlike round magnets that can't lift scrap out of corners effectively, the RLSD is designed to get into corners of railroad cars and clean them out.


    HEATMASTER STEEL MILL MAGNETS
    Move Hot Steel Directly from the Cooling Bed with No Downtime

      Heatmaster Steel Mill Magnet
    • THE HEATMASTER
      Time spent waiting for hot steel to cool down so it can be moved is wasted time. So is time spent handling steel with mechanical methods. With Heatmaster® Steel Mill Magnets, there's no wasted time. Hot steel can be moved quickly and easily, from the moment it leaves the casting bed.


    GRABBER SERIES
    Billet Lifting and Bundle Handling Magnets

      Grabber Series Billet Lifting Magnet
    • THE GRABBER
      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.
