NOTE: Working Load Limit (WLL) lifting values for the BasicLift™ Magnets are stated at 50% of the actual value. We recommend when lifting sheets over 8’, use 2 or more lifts on a spreader bar to prevent sheet flexing, sagging or peel-off. Thin material is susceptible to magnetic bleed through, resulting in two sheets being lifted at once. *These maximum sheet lengths are selected due to the sag characteristics of the specified sheet. The item to be lifted must cover the entire length and width of the magnetic poles to properly engage and release the part.
