The Forager XL Heavy Duty Forklift Magnet is based on the original Forager but like the name suggests, it’s much larger. This rear mounted forklift magnet has a 7” x 7” permanently charged ceramic magnet housing can pick up a 2.5” nail from 12” off the ground. This pickup power allows operators of high-capacity rough terrain forklifts to mount the Forager XL Heavy Duty Forklift Magnet high enough to avoid ground strikes in rougher terrain while still confidently collecting all types of metal debris in the recommended sweeping height range of 4-6” inches while the forklift performs its normal tasks.
The Forager XL is built to work in tough conditions and endure ground strikes when working off-road. The aluminum magnet housing is protected by a sturdy aluminum quick clean off sleeve that slides smoothly on plastic wear strips. The Forager XL’s magnet assembly can pivot backwards, forward, both ways, or neither way if clearance between the magnet and counterweight isn’t available. The pivoting motion protects the magnet assembly from impacts when moving by allowing the force of an impact to swing the magnet away. The entire Forager XL Heavy Duty Forklift Magnet Assembly can also move upwards freely in the steel outer housing to prevent damage from bottoming out.
The Forager XL mounts using the rear pin of a forklift and a vented steel mounting bracket that allows exhaust to flow through it to accommodate forklifts that exhaust through the rear pin port. This bracket is secured using a machined pin hook and threaded rod that goes through one of the many holes in the bracket, allowing for different height rear pins. The rest of the Forager XL mounting assembly drops onto this bracket and can be tilted in or out to account for the angle of the counterweight on a forklift, this allows the Forager XL to fit on almost any forklift.

Some industrial processes generate metal debris continuously. The Midwest Gate and Fence Company in Iowa has trucks coming in daily with fences that have been taken down, leaving waste fence wire clippings all over the yard. Cleaning this material up is an ongoing job that can be accomplished by using a rear mounted forklift magnet. Mounting a magnet on the rear of the forklift lets the lift truck go about its normal duties without being impeded while also collecting metal and preventing damage to vehicles and personnel on site.
A: Height adjustment locking wing nut locks sweeping height
B: Guiding studs with triangular slots allows for vertical and horizontal movement if the magnet hits the ground to prevent damage
The Forager XL Heavy Duty Forklift Magnet has a powerful C8 ceramic magnet assembly that collects metal debris like nails, bolts, wire, rebar, and staples quickly so the surface area of the magnet can fill up fast. The holding power of the Forager XL’s magnet has the power to pull the debris into the magnet hard enough to press a standard plastic quick clean off sleeve into the aluminum housing making removal difficult due to friction. This is why the Forager XL’s extra magnetic power compared to the original Forager necessitates an aluminum quick clean off sleeve that won’t deform from the pressure of collected debris getting pressed into the magnet housing. The Forager XL cleans off easily and smoothly thanks to plastic inner rails that reduce friction and add space between the sleeve and housing to prevent hangups. A poly fabric debris catcher is included to catch debris that falls off the aluminum quick clean off sleeve.
The Forager XL Forklift Magnet has the magnetic power, ground strike protection and adaptability to most forklifts that allow it to work in any terrain you are operating a high capacity or 4×4 forklift in. Whether operating in a shipping terminal or a rutted precast yard the Forager XL can perform better than any other forklift magnet on the market.
To ensure a long service life, the Forager XL is packed with features that prevent catastrophic damage to the sweeper and forklift if the magnet is bottomed out. The magnet housing can pivot away from impacts while travelling either direction which redirects force from the impact into the swinging motion of the magnet assembly rather than into the sweeper frame. If in extremely rough terrain with large drop offs or obstacles, the Forager XL magnet assembly can move 3” up if impacted from below. These functions coupled with the impact / abrasion resistant aluminum quick clean off sleeve ensure the Forager XL will have a long service life even in the toughest situations. These videos show the pivoting and bottom out protection features in action.
Putting a magnetic sweeper on a forklift will always lower the offroad capabilities of the forklift. The Manitou forklift was designed to work in tougher terrains, with that in mind the Forager XL was created to be able to collect metal debris while set at higher sweeping heights and has provisions to allow for travelling in tough terrains without damaging the magnet itself from bottoming out. Check out the following videos for further explanations of the Forager XL ‘s provisions for surviving bottom outs and hits. The Forager XL is perfect for running in yards that may have potholes or obstacles that require setting the magnet higher off the ground for the sake of ground clearance.
The Forager XL Heavy Duty Rear Mounted Forklift Magnet is packed with features to perform in the toughest conditions on big forklifts. The massive 7×7” ceramic magnet assembly can pick up metal debris while mounted high enough to avoid hits in rough terrain. If the magnet does touch down, the wrap around function will keep all collected debris stuck on the magnet. The magnet assembly can swing fore and aft and jump up and out of the way of obstructions if hit to prevent damage. Check out an overview of the Forager XL’s features with a comparison to the original Forager forklift magnet in this video.
A: Forager XL magnet assembly can pivot forwards backwards, or both ways depending on which bolts are removed from pivot assembly.
B: U-Bolts hold the Forager mounting bracket to the rear pin of the forklift.
The Forager XL’s permanently charged ceramic magnet assembly has the capability to pick up a 2.5” inch 8 penny nail from 12” inches off the ground. This pickup power allows the Forager XL to easily collect any type of metal debris while the forklift is moving at the recommended sweeping height of 4-6” inches.
The Forager XL was designed to mount onto almost any forklift but was specifically built for high capacity and 4×4 forklifts that operate in rougher terrain. The Forager XL features a vented mounting bracket with multiple holes drilled in it to accommodate varying pin heights. This bracket allows exhaust to pass through it in case the forklift it is being mounted on exhausts through the rear pin hole. This bracket hugs the counterweight of the forklift and acts as a mounting point for the rest of the Forager XL. The main Forager XL frame assembly can be tilted towards or away from the counterweight to ensure the magnet is parallel with the ground you are travelling on even if the counterweight isn’t vertical. Height adjustment handles with UHMW bushings allow operators to easily set the sweeping height of the magnet with a jam nut to lock the height. The following video gives more detail on how the mounting and adjustments on the Forager XL work. Check the Fit Guidelines for details on the limits of dimensions a forklift can have and still work with the Forager XL.

The Forager XL Rear Mount Forklift Magnet was specifically designed to keep forklifts operating in rougher yards working without having to think about ground clearance. The magnet assembly is strong enough to pick up nails at reasonable sweeping heights that don’t limit the operation of the forklift in the yard because of bottoming out issues. This extra ground clearance and magnetic power makes the Forager XL perfect for proactively collecting debris while your high-capacity forklifts work.
The Forager XL Forklift Magnet is built to withstand harsh terrain and heavy debris contamination. From potholed yards to gravel to farms with mud and ruts, the Forager XL Forklift Magnet can do it all and take the hits. With three protection factors to keep the Forager XL together through the rough stuff, this is a magnet that you can rely on to keep your jobsites clean despite the conditions. Check out this video to see the Forager XL retrieving banding while mounted approximately 6” off the ground.
