Plate Handler
AIMCO®’s extensive experience in designing and manufacturing puts your mind at ease when lifting a seemingly difficult load with our steel plate lifting device. These products are manufactured and assembled in our 9001:2008 ISO certified, 100,000 square foot facility in Toledo, Ohio.
The AIMCO® Steel Plate Lifting Device Design
Our magnet plate handlers are designed for lifting steel sheets. The AIMCO® steel plate lifting device not only provides a solution to large loads, it protects your operators during the process. Moreover, our magnet plate handler equipment can accommodate materials and loads of varying temperatures, with a maximum heat limit of 175°F. Whatever you require our steel plate lifting device for, you can be assured that AIMCO® understands your safety needs and lifting concerns.
Steel Plate Lifting Device Capacities
Steel plate lifting device by AIMCO® can handle magnetic plates up to 500 lbs. and can be used with an air or electric hoist. This lifting equipment is suitable for ferrous parts and 26 ga to 3/4″ low-carbon steel.
Controllers for Steel Plate Lifting Device
If you want the below-the-hook end effector to be as small and simple as possible, our Slide Valve Controller is a great option. If speed is of the utmost importance, and the ferromagnetic plate can be handled from the top face, our Autopick Controller is a perfect fit. If you need to pick and place loads from low and high points, our Pivoting Handlebar, Vertical Slide Handle, or Pace Controller minimizes bending down and reaching up. AIMCO® offers a variety of ergonomical options to operate its equipment. Explore a comprehensive selection of our controllers here.

Steel Plate Lifting Devices Accommodate Your Production Pace
Magnet Plate Handlers accommodate a range of lifting speeds, making them perfect for quick, repetitive motions and slow, precise placements.
Adaptable Equipment
Our steel plate lifting device is designed to be compatible with various other AIMCO® lifting devices. This integration feature has been displayed at trade shows and has been gaining interest in the industry for several years.
Steel Plate Lifting Devices Optimize Safety
Every single AIMCO®-manufactured product prioritizes the safety of your operators. In the case of our steel plate lifting devices, we provide an optional logic package that prevents loads from being released from the end tooling until it has been set upon a supportive surface.
Case Study
Background
Raymond Corporation needed a better way to load and unload their Mazak machining center.
The Problem
125 lb. steel plates need to be precisely positioned when loading into the Mazak and rigidly supported while removing them. A 30″ reach-in made it difficult and dangerous for an operator to move parts in and out. Transferring heavy steel plates from the machine to a pallet was causing injuries and fatigue.
The Solution
A G-TorqLIFT was used to resolve the issues and create a much better working environment. The dual magnet tool provided a safe way to move the steel plates and the G-Force provided a smooth float mode to easily place the parts into their fixtures. The G-TorqLIFT was used to keep the plates horizontal while reaching 30 inches into the machining center.
