Magnets for Trucking & Transportation
Magnetic Sweepers are used extensively in trucking/warehouse distribution.
Operation
Magnetic sweepers are mounted on “switchers” or “yard jockeys”. These are the service vehicles which routinely move tractor trailers around the terminal area, from dock-dock and from cab-cab. Magnetic Sweepers are mounted underneath the vehicle and routinely pick up the dangerous steel trash from the loading dock area, terminal and thru-ways.
Benefits
- Eliminates steel banding, nails and tire-puncturing steel trash
- Save on downtime and flat tires when trucks are on the road
- Dramatically reduces workplace injury
