O.S. Walker Inc., CER Lift Magnet
RECOMMENDED LIFTING PROCEDURES

SAFETY HOOK LATCH
Always use a safety hook latch on your
crane hook to hold your magnets.

STAY CLEAR OF THE LOAD
Guide the load by pushing or pulling the
edges of the load.
Keep your entire body clear of the load
at all times.

PLATE LIFTING
Position the magnet so that it is centered
on the plate. Never lift any plate less
than 1/4” (6mm) thick. (See Important
Facts 2 & 4).

BAR LIFTING
When the load width is greater than the
magnet diameter, position the magnet
length so the entire lifting surface of the
magnet is in contact with the load.
When the load width is narrower than the
magnet’s diameter, position the magnet
so that it is centered on the width of the
load.
UNSAFE LIFTING APPLICATIONS FOR YOUR CER MAGNET
Never lift loads with any dimension greater than:
5 feet (1.5 meters) with CER-5 10 feet (3.1 meters) with CER-12
6 feet (1.8 meters) with CER-7 12 feet (3.7 meters) with CER-16
8 feet (2.4 meters) with CER-9 15 feet (4.6 meters) with CER-20
If you have any difficulty lifting a load, DON’T LIFT IT!

WARNING
• Never lift any pipe, solid round or struc-
tural shapes with this magnet.
• Never lift any castings that do not have
a machined flat lifting surface for the
magnet. The location of the lifting sur-
face should be such to permit the load
to remain level when lifted.
DANGER
• Never lift a
load by its
narrowest
dimension.
