Ultralift Magnetic Lifters are replaced by

Safety Shim

Question: How can I ensure a safe lift - guaranteed every time?

Answer: Simple ... use the Safety Shim to perform a quick pre-test

Lower the Ultralift Magnet on the "Safety Shim" so that it is sandwiched between the component and the lifting magnet.

• Turn on magnet on and lift component 20mm ( 3/4") from the ground- if it doesn't lift, then the component is too heavy for the lifter. Try again with a larger capacity lifter or if the component is long or thins - 2 lifters and a spreader beam.
  
  
• Lower the component back on the ground & turn the magnet off
  
  
• Remove the "Safety Shim"
  
  
• Put the Ultralift Magnet directly onto the component and turn the magnet on
  
  
• Lift the component with the required safety factor - guaranteed.
  

The above exercise introduces specific air-gap for the test lift, that ensures that once it is removed ... the required safety factor exists.  

This technique is a fast and foolproof pre-test that will guarantee safety irrespective of unknown weights, poor surface condition, thinner sections etc.
 
Safety Shim is only available with Ultralift Lifting Magnets
