SKU CH-KNPT-CDS5Q

  • 250 lb flat capacity handles heavy steel plates
  • 125 lb round capacity lifts pipes and shafts
  • On/off handle gives instant magnetic control
  • Operates down to 40 °F for cold environments
  • Compact 3 1/4 in length fits tight spaces

Lifting Magnet 250 lb Flat Capacity

The Dayton 49P417 is a permanent lifting magnet rated for 250 lb on flat steel and 125 lb on round material. An on/off handle activates the magnetic field without external power. It suits workshops, warehouses and fabrication areas that need quick, repeatable lifts of ferrous parts.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The magnet maintains its rated hold as long as the handle stays in the on position and the workpiece meets the minimum thickness requirements. No battery or mains supply is involved, so performance does not decay over a shift. Operation is specified down to 40 °F, allowing use in unheated spaces.

Upgrade Path

This unit replaces manual clamps, slings or smaller magnets when handling flat plate from 1/4 in thick for activation and 1/2 in for full 250 lb capacity. The jump is worthwhile when loads approach the 250 lb flat limit and a compact 3 1/4 in magnet footprint is required. It does not suit lifts below the minimum thickness or non-ferrous materials.

Questions about this item

Does the 49P417 lifting magnet draw power or generate heat during all-day use?

It is a permanent magnet activated by a manual on/off handle, so it uses no electricity and produces no heat while holding a load.

What must I already have on the workpiece for the 49P417 to engage properly?

The steel plate must be at least 1/4 inch thick to activate the magnet and 1/2 inch thick to reach the 250 lb flat capacity rating.

Will the 49P417 work on the thinner sheet metal I currently have in the shop?

Material thinner than 1/4 inch will not activate the magnet; at 1/4 inch it engages but only delivers full 250 lb capacity on 1/2 inch or thicker flat steel.
