Pivoting or vertical lifting of loads
The special design of the XBAM-L-1000 1000lb lifting magnet allows the user to turn and pivot the load
freely. The suspended load can be turned around at 360° and pivoted at 90° in most cases.
1. Be sure to use a flexible soft eye to avoid jamming the lifting magnet into the hook of the crane since this would
lead to extremely unfavorable load conditions and the lifting capacity would no longer be assured. In addition,
this will protect your magnet from damage and extend its lifetime.
2. If the load is attached horizontally to the magnet, the entire pull-off strength of the lifting magnet is acting on the
load, so you can use 100% of the lifting capacity as stated in table 2 (page 11). However, if the load and the
magnet surface tilt at an angle other than 0° to horizontal, the load-bearing decreases due to the new alignment
of the magnet to the gravity of Earth. As soon as the load is suspended vertically, i.e. at an angle of 90°, friction
will be the only effect exerted by the magnet which is not more than 10 - 35% of the maximum load-bearing
capacity, depending on material being lifted.
Load-figures corresponding to the direction of the XBAM-L-1000 1000lb
You can calculate the maximum load-bearing capacity of your magnet, including the 3:1 safety factor, on the basis
of the load-figure that corresponds to the direction.
