Are you a Municipality?
Quickly, safely and magnetically remove and replace manhole covers with IMI's magnetic Manhole Cover Lift Systems.
Our Magnetic Manhole Cover Lifts do the heavy lifting work for you, minimizing stress & strain on your back and body, and providing excellent protection against slipping and falling, especially in rainy, snowy or icy conditions. Utilizing our powerful, Rare Earth PowerLift® magnets in combination with our lift dollies(MCL2000 or MCL3000) or our new, truck mounted PowerArm™(MCLPAE2000), even a single person can lift and move a heavy, cumbersome manhole cover with ease.
The deep reaching strength of our Rare Earth PowerLift® magnets can penetrate uneven, textured surfaces often found on manhole covers, eliminating the fear of dropping the load being lifted due to power failures and protecting you from crushed toes, feet or ankles.
IMI’s new Manhole PowerArm makes lifting and replacing manhole covers easier than ever. Just drive within 3 feet of the center of the manhole cover and let the Manhole PowerArm adjust to your location. The “Arm” has a 3ft., 180° swing radius and a doublejointed elbow that allows the positioning of the magnet in the center of the manhole cover. Once the magnet is centered, turn the magnet to the “lock-on” position and use the winch control to start lifting the manhole cover. When the manhole cover is clear from its rim, swing the manhole cover away. Reverse the steps to replace the manhole cover. CAUTION: Manhole covers must be loose prior to lifting.
Employee Benefits
• Reduce lost time injuries caused by handling covers
• Prevent injuries to fingers and toes
• Prevent long term back injuries/soreness
• Aging workforce or gender considerations precludes lifting heavy lids
Stop bending over to lift cast iron utility covers! This deep reach permanent magnetic field penetrates textured surfaces of lids and allows the operator to ergonomically lift the casting out of the way. Once the lid is replaced, simply move the handle sideways to break the magnet free from the casting. The opposite end of the pick-up tool has a blunt, steel cap that can be used to loosen stubborn covers. Simply tap the lid with enough force to knock it loose prior to removing it from the ground.
Magnetic Sweepers from Industrial Magnetics, Inc. can reduce costly tire damage and personal injury caused by nails, screws, staples, banding, iron chips and more on construction sites, warehouse floors and driveways.
