Though they’re simple in design, magnetic sweepers can immediately improve your standards of safety and efficiency. The reason: They quickly clear large areas of dangerous—and sometimes valuable—debris with minimal physical labor.  All you need to do is pass the magnetic sweeper over the debris, either by pushing it by hand or carrying it with a vehicle, and the device will lift the materials right off the ground. Thanks to their simplicity, affordability, and effectiveness, they’re invaluable for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, construction sites, distribution centers, terminals, parking lots, and even your home garage or basement.

Magnetic Sweeper

Here are just some of the benefits you’ll get from a magnetic sweeper:

Simplify cleanup.

If it’s metal, the magnetic sweeper will pick it up. That includes tiny pieces, like metal shavings or grinding dust. This makes it much more useful than a push broom, which can lose pieces of metal in its bristles — and is more labor intensive. The magnetic sweeper is especially useful for cleaning in dimly-lit or hard-to-see areas because its magnetic field reduces the need for precise sweeping.

Reduce costs.

It’s easy to lose those mistakenly dropped tools and supplies, especially in places like active construction sites or parking lots. A quick sweep with the magnet will pull the loose materials right out of the dirt, ready for use.

Prevent early maintenance.

For example, replacing tires is expensive — and not just because of the cost of the tire. There’s also the price tag on labor and pulling the vehicle out of rotation. But a messy space covered in loose metal debris can quickly lead to many punctured tires. Regularly running a magnetic sweeper over an area extends the life of your tires, keeping vehicles up and running. Of course, these sweepers will protect other valuable equipment as well. Some users will even attach the magnetic sweepers right to the front of their forklifts and trucks so they’re constantly picking up harmful debris.

Prevent injury.

Loose metal presents the potential for trips, cuts, or punctures — injuries that can lead to costly medical bills or even lawsuits. A magnetic sweeper will catch debris before they can do harm, keeping workers safe.

Pick up a huge variety of objects.

Nails, scrap iron, welding remnants, wires, staples, tacks, metal shavings, screws, nuts — all of these are quickly picked up and removed from the floor by simply passing the magnet over the objects.

Versatility.

Because the design is so simple  — a typical sweeper is either hanging from a bumper, towed behind a vehicle, or supported on the sides by wheels — they work in all weather, temperatures, and terrain. So whether you’re using the sweeper in rain or light snow, heat or cold, grass or gravel, its powerful magnetic field will still work. Interested in a magnetic sweeper for your facility?
