WBP-7, WBP-15
Local and Cordless Remote Controlled Bi-Polar Series Battery Powered Lift Magnets for Flat, Rounds, & Shapes

The special feature of this Battery Bi-Polar Magnet is the unique design of pole shoe, which enables it to handle a wide variety of structural shapes and rounds.

WBP-7 and WBP-15 lifting magnets are ideal for loads with a thickness of 1/4" or greater and diameters between 1 inch and 12 inches.

Powered by its own battery, it is free of restricting cords and wires, and can also operate in areas where electric power is not readily accessible.

Recommended Applications
This unique magnet is ideally suited for handling pipe, tubing, bar stock, billets, I beams, H beams, angles, channels, Tees, Zees, and pilings. Although specially designed to handle structural shapes and rounds, the Bi-Polar configuration also lifts plate, forgings, and castings.

Batteries not included.
