Forklift Magnetic Sweeper 60 inch | Self-Cleaning

Magnetic Forklift Sweeper – 60 Inch (1524mm) | Retractable Cleaning Handle

The Magnetic Forklift Sweeper – 60 Inch (1524mm) is a heavy-duty magnetic sweeping system designed to collect nails, screws, swarf, wire and other ferrous metal debris from large industrial and commercial areas. Designed for attachment to a forklift or suitable small tractor, this hanging magnetic sweeper provides an efficient way to remove potentially hazardous metal fragments from factory floors, loading docks, car parks, driveways and other high-traffic areas.

Measuring 60 inches (1524mm) in length, the sweeper provides broad magnetic coverage for efficiently clearing large surface areas. Integrated handles and tyne lugs allow it to be attached to suitable vehicles, while the hanging design enables the magnetic assembly to travel above the ground and attract ferrous debris as the vehicle moves.

A retractable cleaning handle provides convenient release of collected metal debris over a skip or bin, eliminating the need to manually touch or scrape sharp swarf and metal fragments from the base of the sweeper.

Uses for Magnetic Forklift Sweepers

Metal fragments left on workplace surfaces can create ongoing safety and operational hazards. Nails, screws, wire, swarf and other sharp ferrous objects can cause punctures to pneumatic tyres and create potential hazards for employees, customers and equipment.

The 60-inch Magnetic Forklift Sweeper allows large areas to be regularly cleared of ferrous debris using existing material-handling equipment.

Typical applications include:

• Factory and warehouse floors

• Loading docks

• Car parks

• Driveways

• Workshops

• Manufacturing facilities

• Construction areas

• Waste transfer facilities

• Dockyards

• Distribution centres

• Industrial yards

• Vehicle and equipment maintenance areas

Helps Reduce Tyre Puncture and Workplace Hazards

Nails, screws and other sharp metal debris can cause expensive tyre damage to forklifts, cars, trucks, bicycles and other pneumatic-wheeled equipment.

Regular use of a magnetic sweeper can help remove these ferrous objects before they become embedded in tyres or create hazards in pedestrian and vehicle traffic areas.

For facilities where metal debris is regularly generated, a forklift-mounted magnetic sweeper provides a practical method for incorporating debris collection into routine site maintenance.

Retractable Debris Release System

Collected swarf and metal fragments can be difficult and potentially hazardous to remove by hand. This magnetic sweeper incorporates a retractable cleaning handle that allows collected debris to be released directly over a suitable bin, skip or collection container.

This helps minimise the need for operators to touch sharp metal fragments or manually scrape debris from the underside of the sweeper.

The collected ferrous metal can then be appropriately stored for disposal or recycling.

What Can a Magnetic Forklift Sweeper Collect?

The magnetic assembly is designed to attract ferromagnetic materials, including suitable iron and steel debris.

Commonly collected items include:

• Nails

• Screws

• Nuts and bolts

• Washers

• Steel wire

• Metal swarf

• Steel fasteners

• Ferrous fragments

• Other magnetic metal debris

Unlike conventional sweeping equipment, the magnetic system selectively attracts ferrous materials. Organic matter, paper, plastics and other non-magnetic waste are not collected by magnetic attraction.

Industrial Magnetic Sweeping

A 1524mm-wide magnetic sweeper provides an efficient solution for facilities with extensive areas requiring regular inspection and cleaning. Rather than manually searching for individual metal fragments, operators can cover larger areas using a forklift or other compatible vehicle.

This makes the sweeper particularly useful in workplaces where metal debris is frequently generated or where tyre punctures and loose ferrous fragments present an ongoing operational concern.

Robust, Low-Maintenance Design

MagLab Forklift Magnetic Sweepers are designed for practical industrial use with a robust construction and permanent magnetic collection system. The permanent magnets do not require an external electrical supply to generate magnetic attraction, helping keep operation straightforward.

The combination of broad 60-inch coverage, vehicle mounting and convenient debris release makes this model suitable for routine metal debris management across large sites.

Important Information

This magnetic sweeper is designed to collect ferromagnetic materials such as suitable iron and steel. It will not magnetically attract materials such as aluminium, copper, brass, plastic, paper, glass or organic waste.

Actual collection performance depends on factors including the size, shape and composition of the debris, operating speed, surface conditions and the distance between the magnetic sweeper and the material being collected.

Always ensure the sweeper is correctly and securely attached to compatible equipment before operation and maintain an appropriate operating clearance for the application.
