Rolling magnets or push type magnetic sweepers are more powerful than handheld models because heavier magnets on wheels are easier to maneuver. Roller magnets are also known as magnetic brooms since they perform the same task as a broom but use magnetic power instead of bristles to move unwanted debris. Bluestreak Equipment offers the largest line of rolling magnetic sweepers, ranging from lighter magnets perfect for homeowners like the Scape to super heavy-duty magnetic sweepers like the RIP. Perfect for pulling metal debris out of larger areas like grassy yards or work shops.
The Scape magnetic sweeper is an “all terrain” push type magnetic sweeper with quick clean off sleeve for easy clean off of metal debris from the sweeper!
This magnet roller is a compact yet powerful magnet to pick up nails. It’s perfect for home owners and light users, but is also a favorite of roofers who want a light but effective tool. The Scape fits nicely behind the seat of a pickup truck.
The Scape is handy! It can easily be picked up by one side of the lower “Y handle. Hold it over a bin with one hand while you snap the Quick Clean Off Sleeve off. “Wrap Around” feature holds onto nails and debris even if grass tries to wipe it off.
Available in 3 sizes: Scape 14, Scape 20, Scape 26

Packed with two layers of C8 grade magnets
The Bora magnetic sweeper is the biggest push magnet designed for flat surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. It has two layers of C8 ceramic magnets packed end to end un-spaced and a steel backing plate to make the magnetic field larger and extend it downward.
It is similar to the RIP magnet in terms of pickup power with a lifting height of 5 and 3/4 inches. The Bora is also designed with a super strong supporting back frame in the form of a 2” by 2” tube welded to both sides to increase the Bora’s durability.
The Bora is also loaded with features. It is designed for professionals who needs pick up power, durability and wider widths. Sizes: 25, 31 and 37 widths.
Available in 3 sizes: Bora 25, Bora 31, Bora 37

The best suggestion I can give is understand the features of “wrap around”, the various clean off methods available, and magnet lifting height, then look at the product comparison table and decide which product will work best for your situation.

The maximum lifting height of the Push Magnet Models are as follows;
For more information on Pickup Power follow this link: “Measuring Pickup Power and Performance in Magnetic Sweepers”
Bluestreak has a number of rolling magnet models to suit different user preferences and applications. One feature to consider is simply the width of the magnet. Select a width that matches your application. Do you need to cover larger areas quickly and need a wider width or will you be working in smaller tighter locations that would benefit from a smaller width.
Keep in mind, the only reason for choosing a wider width magnetic sweeper with wheels is to reduce the time spent sweeping because a wider magnet covers more ground in the same amount of time.
There is NO difference in pickup strength between a wider magnet model, say a RIP 31, versus a RIP 20. There is a difference in pickup strength between a model series, say a RIP versus a Scape.
Before choosing only on the basis of pickup power, keep in mind that not every application needs the most power. Some applications may benefit from having more application specific features rather than power. Many roofers want a lighter rolling magnet that they can put behind the seat of their pickup truck and because they may not have to clean a very large job site it may be acceptable to them to pass over an area several times.
However, if you are wondering about pickup power, Bluestreak measures pickup power in terms of the “maximum lifting height using a two and a half inch nail”. Everyone knows what a two and a half inch nail looks like. This measure indicates the maximum height that the sweeper can pick up a two and a half inch nail from in a bench test. This is the best indication of performance and pickup power that is easy to understand.
Below are the maximum lifting height measurements of the Push Magnet Models.
When choosing a rolling magnetic sweeper consider the terrain you will be working on because the terrain you will be working on greatly effects the magnets’ performance.
We design some of our magnetic broom sweepers to work well on flat surfaces as well as ones that are more “all terrain” and more versatile on a variety of surfaces.
If you know you will be working mainly on concrete then choose a rolling magnetic broom that is designed for flat surfaces. Or if you are going to be picking up debris in grass then choose a magnet that works well on all terrain.
Flat Surfaces
A: Asphalt
B: Cement
All Terrain
C: Dirt
D: Grass
E: Broken Concrete
All Terrain push magnets are designed to work well on all terrains can be used on any surface. However, they have been specifically designed to perform well on grass, dirt and other rough or uneven surfaces.
As you push the magnetic sweeper over rough surfaces like grass, the grass comes in contact with debris stuck on the bottom of the magnet and it pushes the debris backwards. On many magnets the debris is actually pushed off the back of the magnet from the grass.
That’s why Bluestreak’s all terrain magnets are designed with a “wrap around” feature so that when any debris stuck to the bottom of the magnet is pushed backward it simply snaps around on the back side of the magnet rather than falling off.
Flat Surface push magnets are designed specifically for industrial applications that use them on flat surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
They have features that improve their performance and reliability in industrial applications such as the Bora’s stronger frame.
These magnetic sweepers do not have the wrap around feature which is not necessary for use on flat surfaces. Because they do not have this feature they will not perform well in grass or on surfaces which may come in contact with the bottom of the sweeper.

Rolling magnetic sweepers are an effective solution for quickly removing ferrous metal debris and waste in active worksites and public locations with lots of foot traffic. By utilizing Bluestreak Equipment’s magnetic sweepers with wheels, workers can easily collect debris for recovery or disposal.
Some of the most common applications for our push-type sweepers include:
Roofing: Nails, staples, and metal debris can collect on roofing job sites during construction, maintenance, and repair operations. Magnetic sweepers allow workers to clean up any accumulated magnetic materials quickly and easily.
Construction: On construction sites, excess metal debris (e.g., nails, screws, staples, wiring, and metal fragments) can cause equipment damage and employee injury. A rolling magnetic floor sweeper provides a fast and easy method of cleaning up metal debris to protect workers and equipment.
Rental Units: Our magnetic sweepers are built with reliability and durability in mind, making them excellent for use as rental units. Equipment rental businesses can invest in our magnetic sweepers without worrying about them not fulfilling a customer’s needs or needing constant maintenance and repair work.
Manufacturing Sites: Manufacturing facilities regularly experience accumulations of metal debris, such as shavings, grindings, and blanks, that can cause injury to workers or damage to equipment. Facility employees can use push-type magnetic sweepers to collect waste material for disposal and/or re-use in future operations.
Magnetic sweepers come in many different forms, including handheld magnetic sweepers, push-type magnetic sweepers, and vehicle-mounted magnetic sweepers. Each type has different advantages that make it suited for different applications.
Handheld magnetic sweepers require users to hold them throughout the entire sweeping operation. However, they are lightweight, compact, and easy to handle, making them ideal for covering tight spaces in and around equipment, buildings, and other existing structures.
Push-type magnetic sweepers have wheels, which allow users to cover a larger area in a short period of time than is possible with a handheld magnetic sweeper. Additionally, since users do not need to carry them, they can house more powerful and, consequently, heavier magnets.
Vehicle-mounted magnetic sweepers are greater in power and larger in size than push-type magnetic sweepers. They are suitable for use in large sweeping applications, such as roads and streets.
