A self-propelled magnetic device designed to pick up ferrous metal objects from the surface of roads, airport runways and stocking areas. It contains permanently mounted generating equipment, wiring and electric control panels, together with the necessary hydraulic controls which are required for the operation of the magnet. It is not an attachment for conventional vehicles and cannot be readily converted to either front end loader or earth-moving operation, but it may be equipped for towing of rotary brooms or other equipment supplemental to magnetic sweeping. Excludes MAGNET, SWEEPER, ROAD.

Additional Information for Self-Propelled Magnet Sweeper

Self-Propelled Magnet Sweepers are specialized equipment used for road clearing, cleaning, and marking in the construction, mining, excavating, and highway maintenance industries. These sweepers are designed to efficiently remove ferrous metal debris, such as nails, screws, bolts, and other metallic objects, from roads, parking lots, construction sites, and other areas.

The self-propelled feature allows the sweeper to move autonomously, eliminating the need for manual pushing or towing. This makes it easier and more convenient to cover large areas and navigate through different terrains.

The magnet component of the sweeper is responsible for attracting and collecting the metallic debris. It is typically located at the bottom of the sweeper and is powered by an electric or hydraulic system. As the sweeper moves forward, the magnet attracts the metal objects, which then stick to the magnet's surface. Once the magnet is full or the cleaning operation is complete, the collected debris can be easily released and disposed of.

Self-propelled magnet sweepers are highly efficient and time-saving tools for maintaining clean and safe road surfaces. They help prevent flat tires, equipment damage, and injuries caused by metal debris. Additionally, they contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing the amount of metal waste on roads and construction sites.

When considering the purchase or use of a self-propelled magnet sweeper, it is important to ensure that it meets the specific requirements of the intended application. Factors such as the size of the sweeper, magnet strength, maneuverability, and power source should be taken into account to ensure optimal performance and productivity.
