Magnetics has introduced a new Magnetic Road Sweeper, which uses either a
permanent magnet or electromagnet for vehicle mounted applications such as a
forklift or skid-steer to sweep industrial or commercial floors, worksites,
roadways, construction sites or any area where ferrous materials need removal.
These sweepers are an efficient and effect way to easily remove hazardous metal
debris, the company said.
Sweepers are available in various magnetic strengths from standard to high intensity in both permanent and electromagnetic technologies. Storch heavy-duty Magnetic Road Sweepers are available in 4-feet, 5-feet, 6-feet, 7-feet and 8-feet width models. The magnet for each model is the length of the unit by 10 inches wide and three inches in depth. It can easily sweep ferrous scrap from small to large bolts, nuts, shavings, chips, hammers C-clamps, shrapnel and any other types of ferrous hazardous materials to prevent personal injuries and reduce liability. Each has a convenient release lever mounted on the side, and is engineered for a three-inch sweeping height with higher sweeping heights available. Sweepers are also available with a battery-operated hydraulic release that is activated by the vehicle driver.
Storch Magnetics also offers a series of high-powered electromagnetic sweepers that use an on-board gas or diesel generator for skid steer and fork lifts. These units have an on/off switch activated by the fork-lift operator. A feature with this system is that the generator that operates the electromagnet can also power hand tools.
Storch can build or retrofit a sweeper to just about any type of vehicle including snowplows, trucks, Hi-Los, Bobcats, tractors or utility vehicles.
"Storch Magnetics' magnetic sweepers are made from 304 stainless steel and are very robust," said a spokesperson. "Compared to competitors' standard units, they are a much more rugged unit and built for long service life. The company has engineered and manufactured many special and custom Magnetic Road Sweepers for unique applications."
