What it is
The Mag-Mate BL1000 is a permanent lifting magnet rated for a 1,000 lb maximum flat load capacity. It is built for workshops and job sites that need to move thick steel plate or flat structural sections without slings or clamps. The unit activates with a pry-off handle that locks the magnetic field in place. It is not suited for round stock or for sheet thinner than 3/16 in.
Build and mounting
The magnet body measures 6 1/2 in long, 4 1/2 in wide and 1 5/8 in high, with an overall length of 11 in including the bail. A square bail with 2 3/4 in inside dimensions accepts a standard hook or shackle for crane or hoist attachment. The 11 3/8 in handle provides enough leverage to break the field cleanly when the load is set down. Operation is rated down to -148 Degrees F.
Deciding specification
The single figure that determines fit is the 1,000 lb flat capacity combined with the 3/16 in minimum thickness for both activation and full rated hold. If the material is thinner or the load exceeds that limit, the magnet will not develop its rated force.

What minimum steel thickness and bail size are needed for the 6 1/2 in magnet to mount and lift?
Steel must be at least 3/16 in thick; the bail opening is 2 3/4 in wide by 2 3/4 in long for hook attachment.
How is the pry-off handle activated, and what step do users often miss?
