Precast Concrete
Protective steel ribbed cage for use in rough conditions. Designed to take a hit!
The Remoras magnetic sweeper is specifically designed to be attached to outdoor forklifts or graders or other equipment that operate in gravel or dirt yards like those found in many Precast Concrete Manufacturing Facilities and yards with severe ruts and potholes due to the equipment use, and whose yards also have debris problems that are causing flat tires.
Normal hanging magnetic sweepers like the Wrasse series can’t stand up to the pounding of hitting the ground over and over as the equipment wheels go into ruts and potholes, but the Remoras series can withstand frequent ground hits with no damage to the magnet housing itself.
The Remoras allows equipment operators to do their normal jobs while at the same time keeping the whole area clean of debris that would otherwise be causing flats on the equipment being operated or other vehicle traffic. It’s just too easy to do two jobs at the same time, saving money as well.

For extra ground strike protection! With wheeled outriggers and bump wheels.
The AETHER magnetic sweeper was designed for those bumpy, pot-hole riddled dirt and gravel manufacturing and industrial yard environments where you need a magnetic sweeper to pick up metal debris and you want to hang it from one of your working vehicles but more ground strike prevention is needed to protect the magnet. The AETHER provides more protection than the EIGER because of the AETHER’s wheeled outriggers in the center of the magnet.
The 10” x 3” flat proof bump wheels on the ends prevent the magnet from hitting the ground and from sinking into loose surfaces, and the wheeled outriggers provide additional ground strike prevention in the middle of the magnet’s overall length.
Front mount, mid-mount or even rear mount to tractors, backhoes, outdoor forklifts, commercial trucks, shunt/yard trucks, telehandlers.
Maximum lifting height of 9” inches (using a 2 ½ inch nail). Measuring Magnetic Sweeper pickup power and performance.
Comes standard with a black PVC Quick Clean Off Sleeve for quick and easy debris removal. Also includes 6 stabilizing chains with 12 quick clips to the AETHER from your vehicle

Heavy Duty Fork Mounted Magnet! With pivoting debris tray for easy debris removal.
The OBLAST forklift magnet is a fork mount design that allows you to use your forklift to pick up ferrous metal debris and then lift the OBLAST over a disposal / scrap bin for easy removal by using the easy flip down pivoting stainless steel debris tray.
Heavy duty construction of steel and stainless, with UHMW bushings on the rotating stainless steel debris tray for long life and a solid feel.
Ground strike protection is provided by the angled front and rear of the stainless steel debris tray which reduces the width of the bottom flat section and therefore limits magnet contact with the ground, and prevents damage if the magnet does contact the ground because there is no hard edge to “catch” on the ground.
Upward clamping fork pockets provides greater contact of the fork pockets with the forklift forks and therefore provides greater stability to reduce magnet “slippage” on the forks.
Comes in one 52” inch magnet sweeping width, and easily mounts to forklift forks up to and including 6” inch wide forks on 24” inch fork centers. See CAD drawings for further details.

Heavy Duty Fork Mounted Magnetic Sweeper with Remote Clean Off and Ground Tracking Suspension System
The Nova Fork Mounted Magnetic Sweeper is a powerful 74” wide magnet that is built to cover ground quickly and easily with little effort from the forklift operator thanks to the ground tracking system, and remote clean off functions.
The ground tracking system keeps the magnet rolling at your selected sweeping height through rough terrain with 11” of vertical suspension travel and 360 degrees of pivot movement that allows the forklift to travel and turn without being impeded by the Nova as it rolls on 16.5” urethane foam filled tires.
The 6” inch by 8” inch magnet housing will pick up a 2.5” inch 8 penny nail from 12”inches off the ground, giving more than enough pickup power to retrieve most kinds of metal debris at speed including nails, bolts, wrenches, trailer / container seals / locks.
The Nova uses two remote activated 12-volt linear actuators powered by an on-board battery with 450lbs of pressing power each. Once activated from the seat of the forklift via remote control, the actuators press against a 16-gauge stainless steel debris pan which separates the collected debris from the magnet field to easily clean off the magnet into any container or dumpster.

Economical Front Mounted Pick Up Power for Tractors and Skid steers
The Lynx magnetic sweeper is powered by a permanently charged 4.5” x 4.5” C8 magnet assembly which is light enough to work on any skid steer or track loader and almost any sub compact tractor with loader arms and a universal skid steer adaptor plate.
The Lynx front mount magnet is powerful enough to hold onto a 108lbs I Beam and pick up a 2.5” inch nail from up to 8.5” inches off the ground. So it will have no problem collected most types of debris in the recommended sweeping height range of 2 to 5 inches.
With a sturdy 3/16” inch aluminum debris pan and wrap around function that snaps debris to the back of the magnet if the ground is hit, the Lynx can withstand ground strikes without losing collected debris. Optional debris digging rakes extend functionality of the Lynx by kicking embedded debris up out of the ground so it can get collected by the magnet while grooming the surface you are working on and giving a clear indicator of what areas have been swept.

Adaptable Magnetic Sweeping for Front End Loaders and Skid Steers
The Sokoke magnetic sweeper is a bigger and stronger version of the existing Meerkat magnetic sweeper, The Sokoke is meant for tougher jobs and heavier equipment while also a viable option for skid steers. The bracket assemblies have pre-drilled bolt holes to accept one of five brackets available from Bluestreak Equipment. Allowing you to use the Sokoke on many popular front-end loader models or skid steers, depending on which bracket is purchased with the Sokoke.
This versatile magnetic sweeper has three 29”-inch x 9”-inch x 6.25”-inch magnet assemblies that pivot on UHMW bushings which allows the metal debris stuck on the stainless-steel debris pan to be separated from the magnetic field by swinging the magnets away from the debris pan using gravity. This clean-off system allows the operator to raise the Sokoke over a scrap bin and empty the debris off by tipping it forward just like emptying a bucket. No one needs to manually handle the metal debris, which increases safety and efficiency.
The Sokoke also has the capability to accept the Debris Digging Rake accessory, this allows an operator to dig up debris that may be embedded under the surface after being runover by heavy machinery so it can be collected. The rakes also allow an operator to have a clear visual indicator of where they have swept while grooming the land, creating a more uniform surface.

Heavy Duty Forklift Magnet for Harsh Conditions
The Forager XL is a bigger version of the popular Forager magnetic sweeper that used to be the largest rear mounted forklift magnet available on the market. It can adjust to fit almost any forklift on the market right out of the box. The Forager XL steel mounting bracket attaches to the rear pin of a forklift and is vented to allow for exhaust gases to flow freely even if it is routed through the rear pin port. This bracket hugs the counterweight on the forklift and allows the Forager XL to mount on most forklift rear pins.
The Forager XL Heavy Duty Rear Mounted Forklift Magnet comes in 3 sweeping widths and features a 7x7” permanently charged C8 ceramic magnet housing that can pick up a 2.5” nail from 12” off the ground. This allows the Forager XL to collect metal debris effectively while being mounted high enough to avoid ground strikes when operating on larger forklifts in rough terrain.
The Forager XL also features an aluminum Quick Clean Off Sleeve which makes cleaning debris off the magnet easier and protects the magnet housing from impacts while preventing the collected metal debris from pressing the sleeve against the magnet housing making it hard to clean off. Further protection to the magnet is provided by allowing the magnet housing to pivot fore and aft and allowing the magnet to move up in the housing to prevent damage from ground strikes.

Quick Tips
What do the staff of Bluestreak have to say on the subject of Precast Concrete magnets?
The Remoras is really only needed instead of the Wrasse if you plan on mounting the magnet under a vehicle like an outdoor forklift and that vehicle operates around a facility with ruts, potholes etc. that would cause the magnet to hit the ground. The Remoras is needed in this case because the protective cage around the magnet protects the magnet when it hits the ground.

Clean up metal debris on Precast Concrete Manufacturing Facilities/Yards
Pick up metal debris faster...
Precast concrete and prestressed concrete manufacturing facilities and yards are littered with pieces of medal debris that needs to be picked up from very large areas and yards.
The metal debris problem is usually in the form of cut off pieces of wire, cable, nails and metal strapping that can damage tires on trucks and forklifts and build up over time.
The debris problem is high and the need to control it is high due to potential tire damage on forklifts, trucks and other vehicles.
