Magswitch MLAY600x2 Heavy Magnetic Hand Lifter
The Magswitch MLAY600x2 Heavy Magnetic Hand Lifter (Part No. 8100360) is a compact, heavy-duty magnetic lifting tool designed for handling ferrous steel sheets, beams, pipes, and other suitable steel components. It provides strong magnetic holding force without requiring electricity, batteries, or compressed air.
Its dual-magnet configuration provides increased stability and holding capacity compared with smaller single-magnet lifters. A pivoting swivel hook allows the tool to accommodate lifting from horizontal to vertical positions, making it useful for steel fabrication, shipbuilding, infrastructure work, and general material handling.
Key Features
- 3:1 Safe Working Load of 341 lbs.: Provides a defined working load based on Magswitch's specified safety factor.
- 1,024 lbs. maximum breakaway force: Rated on 2-inch-thick steel under the manufacturer's specified test conditions.
- Dual-magnet configuration: Provides a broad magnetic footprint for improved control when handling larger steel pieces.
- Mechanical ON/OFF operation: The magnetic field can be completely activated or released mechanically.
- Locking handle: Helps prevent unintended release of the magnetic connection.
- No electrical power required: Ready for use without batteries, cables, or an external power source.
- Pivoting lift hook: Helps accommodate horizontal-to-vertical lifting applications.
- Suitable for flat and round steel: Designed to handle plates, beams, pipes, and other compatible ferrous shapes.
- Strong performance on thinner steel: The MLAY600x2 is designed with a relatively shallow magnetic field for applications involving thinner steel.
- Compact construction: Its relatively small footprint makes it practical for use in confined fabrication areas.
- Replaceable/customizable pole shoes: Optional pole-shoe configurations can be used for specialized applications.
Powerful Magnetic Lifting Without Electricity
One of the main advantages of the MLAY600x2 is its mechanically operated magnetic system. The operator can activate or deactivate the magnet directly through the locking handle, eliminating the need for an electrical connection.
This makes the lifter convenient for fabrication shops, construction sites, and other locations where cables or battery-powered lifting magnets may be impractical.
Designed for Steel Sheets, Beams, and Pipes
The MLAY600x2 is designed to handle a variety of ferrous-steel workpieces. Its magnetic system can be used on large flat sheets, structural beams, and round steel pipe, provided the material and surface conditions are appropriate for magnetic lifting.
The magnetic design also provides useful holding performance when minor air gaps are present due to conditions such as rust or dirt, although surface condition and material thickness can significantly affect actual holding capacity.
Pivoting Swivel Hook
The integrated pivoting lift hook gives the MLAY600x2 additional versatility when positioning steel. It can provide stability during lifting and accommodate changes in the orientation of the load, including applications where a horizontal piece needs to be brought toward a vertical position.
For appropriate lifting configurations, using the available lifting points correctly can help keep the load controlled and reduce unwanted movement.
Suitable for Thinner Steel
The MLAY600x2 is designed to achieve useful magnetic performance on relatively thin steel. Magswitch specifies a full saturation thickness of 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) for the current product specification.
Actual holding force is dependent on the steel thickness, surface condition, material composition, air gap, and loading direction. The maximum breakaway rating should therefore not be treated as the working capacity for every application.

Ideal Applications
The Magswitch MLAY600x2 is well suited for:
- Steel sheet handling
- Steel plate lifting
- Structural steel fabrication
- Shipbuilding
- Welding and fabrication shops
- Steel beam positioning
- Pipe handling
- Infrastructure projects
- Manufacturing facilities
- Construction material handling
- Loading and positioning ferrous components
Important Load and Safety Information
The 1,024-lb. maximum breakaway force is not the same as the permissible working load. Magswitch specifies a 3:1 Safe Working Load of 341 lbs. for this model.
Magnetic performance can vary according to:
- Steel thickness
- Surface cleanliness
- Rust, paint, scale, or other coatings
- Air gaps
- Steel composition
- Load orientation
- Shear forces
- Surface geometry
The manufacturer's breakaway rating is determined under controlled test conditions. Magswitch specifically advises testing the magnet in the intended application before deployment.
Never use the maximum breakaway figure as the lifting capacity. The applicable Safe Working Load and the manufacturer's operating instructions should always be followed.
Why Choose the Magswitch MLAY600x2?
The Magswitch MLAY600x2 offers a practical combination of strong magnetic holding force, compact dimensions, mechanical ON/OFF operation, and versatile lifting capability. Its dual-magnet design and pivoting hook make it particularly useful when steel sheets, beams, and pipes need to be positioned without manually gripping or manipulating the material.
For professional fabricators, shipyards, construction crews, and industrial material-handling operations, it provides a convenient power-free magnetic lifting solution that can be quickly attached, repositioned, and released when used within its rated specifications.
