HANDLE THE HARD-TO-HANDLE

Walker Magnetics (Worcester, MA), a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of magnetic products for light and heavy industry, introduces ExBeam, an expandable spreader beam designed to make the handling of long, unwieldy products both safer and easier. Not limited to handling steel, ExBeam can also be used with slings and chains to handle other difficult loads such as logs or rolls of paper. Bottom line? If it's long and spindly, ExBeam can handle it.

This spreader beam is available in two models: Ex 10 and Ex 12. Each has a different weight and expansion capacity. Both are designed to support maximum capacity of magnets at maximum distance. The Ex 10 expands from two ft to six ft and has a lifting capacity of 2200 lb. It can be used with either two Neo-250 lift magnets or two Neo-500 lift magnets. The Ex 12 has a lifting capacity of 8000 lb and expands from three ft to six ft. This model can be used with either two Neo-1000 lift magnets or two Neo-2000 lift magnets.

ExBeam saves time because it gives you the ability to quick change and adapt to different lifting scenarios within your shop environment. The lifting lug that supports the magnets is manually adjustable. No special tools required. Simply pull the locking pin on the adjustable slide, reposition, reinsert the pin and you're ready to lift.

Walker Magnetics has also introduced the world's first and only Circular Electric Lift Magnets (CER) with IR wireless remote. CER magnets are the least costly but most powerful magnets of their kind available. The deep penetration of their magnetic field make CER magnets less susceptible to adverse surface conditions than any other self-contained magnet. The CER Series has six models to fit a variety of lifting applications. CER magnets are ideally suited for in-plant handling of steel plate, flat stock, castings, forgings or machined components in all types of industrial plants, machine shops, fabricating shops and steel warehouses.

The state-of-the-art CER Series with wireless remote was developed because it is safer as well as a timesaver. No more climbing on a load to switch it on or off. You can do it easily?and safely from up to 15 ft away. There are many other safety features built in. For example, easy-to-use on-board push buttons to attract and release work pieces when desired. The release is a two-button design for added safety in both the remote and the on-board rectifier. The CER with remote won't lift if the contact isn't secure. And, it can't shut off accidentally when a lift is in progress.

Walker's new wireless remote is available on the CER Series magnets (Models CER-5 through CER-12). Customers with an existing CER magnet can have it upgraded to IR remote control. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of CER magnets: the lift capacity, the flexibility, and the reliability without having to reach over and flip a toggle switch. Instead, with
the CER magnet with IR remote, you can operate safely and easily from up to 15 ft away?with one finger.
