Gibraltar 1PLM-103-G Magnetic Lifter 2500 Lb 1 Pole

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 1PLM-103-G is a single-pole permanent magnetic lifter rated for up to 2,500 pounds of load capacity. It uses a permanent magnet system to grip ferromagnetic workpieces without requiring an external power source, making it a reliable tool for steel plate handling, machinery positioning, and material transfer operations. At 122.36 pounds, the unit is built for heavy-duty industrial use. Rigging crews, millwrights, and material handlers install this type of lifter in fabrication shops, steel service centers, warehouses, and industrial maintenance environments where safe, controlled lifting of flat or cylindrical ferrous stock is required.

The 1PLM-103-G is suited for lifting flat steel plate, blocks, and cylindrical stock in single-lift configurations. Its 1-pole design concentrates magnetic force through a single contact face, which is effective for uniform flat stock and solid bar material. The lifter engages and releases via a manual control handle, allowing operators to attach and detach loads without power tools or auxiliary equipment. Typical applications include loading and unloading CNC tables, press beds, and saw tables, as well as staging steel plate for fabrication and assembly lines.

Key Features

• 2,500 lb rated load capacity for heavy ferromagnetic workpieces
• Single-pole permanent magnet design requires no external power source during lift
• Manual engage and release handle for controlled attachment and detachment
• Compact footprint at 10.55 inches long, 5.95 inches wide, and 6.45 inches tall
• Robust construction suited to fabrication shop and industrial material handling environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with flat and cylindrical ferromagnetic workpieces in standard industrial lifting and material handling applications. Consult load charts and verify workpiece surface condition before use to confirm rated capacity applies.

Installation Notes

Magnetic lifters of this type are installed and operated by qualified rigging, millwright, or maintenance personnel in accordance with applicable ASME B30 standards and facility safety protocols. Inspect the contact face and control handle mechanism before each use and confirm the workpiece surface is clean, flat, and free of coatings that could reduce magnetic adhesion. Never exceed the rated load capacity, and ensure the lift path is clear before hoisting. De-rate capacity per manufacturer guidelines when lifting cylindrical stock or workpieces with air gaps at the contact surface.
