Gibraltar 1PLM-100-G Magnetic Lifter 250 Lb 1 Pole

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 1PLM-100-G is a single-pole magnetic lifter rated for loads up to 250 pounds. It uses a permanent magnet mechanism that engages and releases ferromagnetic workpieces without requiring an external power source. The unit measures 3.6 inches in length, 2.52 inches in width, and 2.63 inches in height, making it compact enough for use in confined staging areas. Weighing 6.61 pounds, it is designed for repeated overhead and horizontal lifting tasks in industrial, fabrication, and maintenance environments. A lever or rotating handle engages the magnet field, allowing controlled attachment and release of steel plate, bar stock, and similar ferrous materials.

This magnetic lifter is suited for fabrication shops, steel service centers, maintenance facilities, and job sites where ferrous material needs to be moved safely and efficiently. Typical applications include lifting and positioning steel plate, pipe, flat bar, and structural shapes during layout, welding, or machining operations. It is appropriate for both shop floor and field use where a portable, self-contained lifting solution is required. Rated for a 250 lb load capacity, it handles a wide range of common steel stock sizes encountered in trade and industrial work.

Key Features

• 250 lb rated load capacity for ferrous material handling
• Single-pole permanent magnet design requires no external power source
• Compact form factor: 3.6 inches long, 2.52 inches wide, 2.63 inches tall
• Lightweight at 6.61 pounds for easy transport and single-operator use
• Engage and release mechanism allows controlled attachment without tools

Compatibility

Designed for use with flat, smooth ferromagnetic surfaces such as steel plate, bar stock, and structural shapes. Performance is dependent on workpiece surface condition and material thickness; use only on ferrous metals within the rated load capacity.

Installation Notes

This magnetic lifter should be operated by trained personnel familiar with rigging and material handling safety practices. Verify the workpiece surface is clean, flat, and free of paint, scale, or coatings that may reduce magnetic holding force before lifting. Never exceed the 250 lb rated capacity, and always apply a safety factor appropriate to the lift conditions. Inspect the unit for wear, cracks, or handle mechanism damage before each use in accordance with ASME B30.20 guidelines for below-the-hook lifting devices.
