A lifting magnet is an electromagnet that is meant to hold or move material that comes in contact with the magnet. This is the opposite of a traction magnet.

Virgin metal is metal that's been made fresh from ore. Scrap metal is metal that's been made into something first, then brought back and recycled.
Recheck data and if still valid, scrap hypothosis
They use electromagnets to separate magnetic metals from non-magnetic metals/materials in scrapyards.
They are used everyday to move scrap iron around the scrap yard...
A scrap heap magnet attracts steel - but not steel with a high chromium or nickel content
A scrapyard magnet is a large magnet that attracts materials such as colbolt, iron, nickel. It can be turned on and off, and when you turn off the magnet it drops all the scrap, it is taken by truck or train car and then it goes to a recycling plant.as it moves it holds scrap and takes it to another pile.
The strength of a scrap heap magnet vary depending on the strength of the current or number of "turns" in its primary coil. Increasing either or both of these makes the magnet stronger.
Ferromagnetic materials such as iron, steel, and nickel can be attracted to a scrap heap magnet due to their magnetic properties. Other non-ferromagnetic items, such as plastic or wood, would not be affected by the magnet and would not move.
A scrap heap magnet, also known as a magnetic lifter, works by using an electro-magnet to create a magnetic field that attracts and picks up ferrous materials such as scrap metal. When electricity flows through the coil within the magnet, it creates a magnetic force that extends beyond the magnet's physical reach, allowing it to lift and transport metal objects. This process enables efficient and safe handling of scrap metal in recycling facilities and scrapyards.
A magnet is attracted by metals containing iron in their makeup, primarily steel.
The magnet used to pick up cars in a scrapyard is typically called a "car crane magnet" or simply a "scrapyard magnet." It is a powerful electromagnet that can lift and move vehicles with ease.
a scrap yard magnet is an electro magnet used to pick up bits of metal. this is used because it can drop the metal because it can be turned on and off
A scrap crane is a crane (mobile or EOT -electric overhead traveling) in a scrap yard most commonly steel scrap. The applicaton I use is a EOT crane with a magnet. It loads steel scrap into a ladle which goes into a electric arc furnace.
A scrap heap magnet cannot move non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel. Ferrous materials, which contain iron, are attracted to magnets and can be easily picked up by a scrap heap magnet. Non-ferrous materials do not contain iron and are not attracted to magnets, so they will not be moved by a scrap heap magnet.
A scrap heap magnet works by producing a strong magnetic field that attracts ferromagnetic materials such as iron and steel. When the magnet is moved over a pile of scrap metal, these materials are magnetically pulled towards the magnet, allowing for efficient collection and separation of scrap metal. The collected materials can then be transported for recycling or disposal.
