Commercial Truck
Types of Commercial Truck Magnets
Front Mounted Magnets
Front mounted magnets are mounted in a similar way as a snow plow, they allow you to pick up debris before you drive over it, but they also tend to be more expensive because of the unique connection mounting assemblies required.
Tow Behind Magnets
Tow behind magnets come in on road or off-road types with different features to suit different uses.
Hanging Magnets
Hanging magnets usually hung from the front of the Commercial Truck like a Front Mount magnet to allow you to pick up debris before you drive over it. They can be simple or contain many features to improve their ease of use and usefulness. They are usually the most economical option.
A Hanging Magnet Designed to be Raised and Lowered as Needed
With Bumper Wheels!
The ISO magnetic sweeper is ahanging magnet specifically designed for highway maintenance operations to allow you to leave the magnet permanently mounted, enabling you to lower and deploy the magnet for use when needed, and then easily raise and secure it when not needed or for transport between locations.
High end “bumper wheels” keep the magnet off the ground and multiple mounting points keep this magnet where it should be.
A Quick Clean Off Sleeve comes standard with the ISO and makes cleaning debris off the magnet easy!

For extra ground strike protection! With wheeled outriggers and bump wheels.
The AETHER magnetic sweeper was designed for those rough dirt and gravel roads and lots where more ground strike prevention is needed to protect the magnet than the EIGER provides, but less ground strike prevention than the REMORAS provides.
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.
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.

Self Levelling Suspension & Onboard Debris Bins
Maximize Safety and Speed with the new industry standard for heavy truck magnetic sweeping
The Baffin magnetic sweeper is designed to be the premier front mounted heavy commercial truck magnet on the market. It’s suspension system keeps the magnet planted at the right height through hard turns and over bumps to eliminate the need for constant height adjustment. The Baffin also has a clean-off system that allows drivers to empty the magnet quickly and safely from the truck cab without ever having to get out of the truck or handle debris.
With a maximum pickup height of 10.75”, the Baffin is well suited to collect any metal debris up to 25 km/h (~15 mph) at the recommended sweeping height of 2” inches.
And the two on-board removable 1.65 cubic foot debris bins allow for the 95” inch wide magnet to be cleaned off multiple times before the bins need to be emptied. This increases efficiency by letting the magnet spend more time sweeping. And by easily keeping the magnet clear of debris there is more power available to collect debris which further increases efficiency.
Sweeping height adjustment (recommended 2”-5” inches) is done using stroke control blocks on the hydraulic cylinders. Moving from sweeping height to the travelling height of 10.5” inches just requires a cycle of the hydraulics (this position can be maintained by inserting all the supplied stroke control blocks or you may rely on the hydraulic system to keep the magnet suspended).

Heavy-Duty Off-Road Tow-Behind Magnet. Clean Off with a Push of a Button!
The Aardvark Magnetic Sweeper is designed for landfill sites, construction sites, access roads, rail trails, mining areas or any larger rough terrain areas. With urethane foam filled flat free wheels, heavy duty construction. With a 12” maximum pickup height using a 2.5” nail the Aardvark has plenty of power to clean up metal debris in the toughest conditions.
This unit is packed with off-road features, such as sweeping height control, inset wheels and a torsion ride suspension system to smooth out rough terrain. The Aardvark Heavy Duty Tow-Behind Magnetic Sweeper also features a 12-volt automatic push button clean off system which makes cleaning off debris from the sweeper easy and automatic.
The magnet housing is fully enclosed, offering a level of protection around the magnet. This means you don’t have to worry about metal getting all over the magnet. The Aardvark also has wrap around function (link to wrap around function blog page) which retains collected debris even if the 14-gauge aluminum debris pan hits the ground while sweeping. This makes the Aardvark magnetic sweeper an excellent option for cleaning up metal debris when terrain gets tough.

Economical Hanging Magnetic Bar.
Easily attach to your commercial truck in a variety of positions.
The Wrasse magnetic bar is the most economical hanging design option because you’re paying for just a big magnet bar. Hang it underneath with the two included mounting chains and you’re off and ready to go! The Wrasse comes in three different magnet strengths and different widths to suit your budget and needs. But if your vehicle bounces around a lot such that the magnet could hit the ground a lot as well, this may not be the best option. It’s the most economical but you have to be careful to ensure the magnet won’t hit the ground. This usually causes people to mount them too high to be really effective. It can however, be a competent solution in flat even surface conditions.
There is also an optional Quick Clean Off Sleeve for the Wrasse 3"x 3" and 4.5″ x 4.5″ which makes cleaning debris off the magnet bar easy.

8 Questions to Ask Before Buying a Commercial Truck Magnetic Sweeper
How much suspension does your truck have?
Trucks obviously have suspension and they absorb bumps but when they do, the height of the truck from the ground changes, and therefore any hanging magnet can hit the ground. And the rougher the ground, the more likely this is. So what’s going to prevent the magnet from hitting the ground if your truck suspension compresses 4 inches, or if it does what will protect the magnet? It’s something to consider when selecting a hanging magnet.
What is the danger posed by the debris problem?
If you have an extensive debris problem that will almost certainly cause a flat tire if you run over the debris, then a front mount magnetic sweeper or hanging front mount is a necessity and may be the only consideration in your choice of magnet. A front mounted magnetic sweeper will pick up debris like nails before you run over it, something that seems obviously and practically much better than running over the debris before picking it up.
How much do you want to spend on a truck magnet?
Hanging magnets are the most cost effective because a hanging magnet is essentially just a big magnet bar without most of the other mechanism’s that accompany a tow behind magnet or Front Mount magnet.
How easy is it to mount and secure the magnet?
A Commercial Truck must be used for other tasks. Therefore it’s important that the magnet can be mounted and dismounted from the Commercial Truck quickly and easily, or alternatively, the magnet can be locked into a position where it will not interfere with normal operation of the truck when not being used for sweeping. If not, then the tow behind solution may be best for you because it can be easily and quickly hitched up when needed.
How easy is the truck magnet to clean off?
A magnet may work very well at picking up debris, but how easy is it to clean off? Think through how you would clean the magnet off step by step. Make sure it makes sense to you and your situation. We try and do this for you so that clean off isn’t a difficult or time-consuming task, but some manufacturers don’t. Pay attention to the details of how this will work from start to finish, right up to the point of getting the debris in the garbage or scrap bin.
How good is the truck magnet at hanging on to the debris that it picks up?
You are not going to be cleaning your magnet off constantly, so it’s important that when your magnet does pick up a nail or screw that the magnet secures the debris so that it won’t fall off if the magnet is suddenly shaken because of a bump or if the bottom of the magnet hits the ground and the debris is wiped backward on the magnet. The last thing you want is for the debris to fall off again. Make sure your magnet has some feature like our “Wrap Around Feature”, it not only makes sure debris doesn’t get wiped off the bottom of the magnet, it makes the debris holding capacity higher and you’ll find in practice that most of your debris ends up on the side of your magnet not the bottom of it. And that’s a good indication to you why we have this feature.
How far off the ground will the truck magnet be positioned?
We want to make sure our products meet your expectations. Therefore, make sure you look at our “maximum lifting height” specifications for each magnet option. We bench test every one of our magnetic sweeper models to determine their maximum lifting height of a two-and-a-half-inch standard nail. Everyone knows what a two-and-a-half-inch nail looks like which is why we use this standard measure of magnet strength and it will give you a very good idea of magnet performance. Many times, we have videos of our products picking up various other materials so take a look at the videos in the video galleries. They give you a chance to “kick the tires” and see how the products perform. Many of these videos have been submitted by previous customers.
What terrain and in what conditions will you be working in?
The rougher, dirtier terrain your Commercial Truck operates in the stronger the magnet your likely going to want, because the magnet will have to be set higher to avoid constantly hitting the ground. The magnet will also need to pick up debris through some dirt therefore you need a stronger magnet. The rougher the terrain that exists because of things like bumps and pot holes, more you will want or favor a magnet that has some protection built in to the design to either deal with the abuse of hitting the ground or being able to move out of the way when it does hit the ground to prevent damage.
