Magnetic Sweepers

Types of Skid Steer Magnets

There are 2 types of magnetic sweepers suitable for operation on a Skid Steer

Fork-Mounted

Fork mounted magnets quickly and easily attach to your skid steer’s forks using upward clamping fork pockets.

Front Mounted

Front mounted magnetic sweepers easily attach to skid steers / track loaders using a universal adaptor plate similar to a bucket attachment, if auxiliary hydraulics are present on the magnet they connect using standard hydraulic fittings.

Rough Terrain Heavy Duty Fork Mounted Magnet! With ground tracking four link suspension.

Available in 1 size:  UPLAND 56”

The UPLAND is a fork mounted magnetic sweeper that can pickup any ferrous debris such as: nails, screws, wire, discarded fabrication material, bolts, nuts, pins, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. The debris can easily be dumped into a bin using the flip down stainless-steel debris tray.

 

Heavy duty construction of steel and stainless, with UHMW bushings on all pivot points of the UPLAND ensures a long life for the UPLAND and a solid feel on every motion.

 

The UPLAND features 10” of vertical suspension travel and 360 degrees of pivot movement rolling on 16.5” flat proof tires. This allows operators to set the UPLAND at a sweeping height of 1 – 4” inches which will be maintained over rough terrain by the ground tracking system.

 

Upward clamping fork pockets provides greater contact of the fork pockets with the forks and therefore provides greater stability to reduce magnet “slippage”.

 

Comes in one 56” inch magnet sweeping width, and easily mounts to forks up to and including 5.5” inch wide forks on 22” inch fork centers. See CAD drawings for further details.

Available in 1 size: Oblast 52″

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.

Quick Coupling Magnetic Sweeper for Skid Steers

$10,799.99 USDBuy Here

(all prices in USD)

 

Available in 1 size: Meerkat 67″

No Hydraulic Connection Required

 

Just hook into the Meerkat and go without needing to attach hydraulic connections. The Meerkat is a powerful magnetic sweeper that attaches to any skid steer or track loader with a universal adapter plate. This sweeper has three pivoting C8 magnets that can pick up a 2.5” nail from 10” off the ground and easily release it using the gravity powered Swing-Out Clean-Off system.

 

The three magnet assemblies are each 6.8” W x 5.25” H x 20.75” L and pivot on UHMW bushings for a smooth action on clean-off that functions like emptying a normal bucket; using gravity to separate the magnets from the stainless debris pan which releases collected metal.

 

The Meerkat comes standard with attachment points to accommodate our optional Debris Digging Rake accessory which helps operators dig up embedded debris from hard packed surfaces while it smooths / grooms the area you’re working in and helps you see where you’ve swept already.

Adaptable Magnetic Sweeping for Front End Loaders and Skid Steers

$15,499.99 USDBuy Here

(all prices in USD)

 

Available in 1 size: Sokoke 92″

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.

Top 3 Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Skid Steer Magnetic Sweeper

What terrain will the magnet be operating in.

Depending on the area of operation you intend to use a sweeper on, different products may be best suited to your needs. Our Oblast model is perfect for moderate terrain as its curved edge will glide over obstacles without sustaining any damage to the magnet. If you are working in severe terrain with large potholes and bumps the Upland is the magnetic sweeper for you. The Upland’s suspension and ground tracking system maintains a set sweeping height over severe conditions.

How Large are the forks of the Skid Steer that will attach to the magnet?

The fork attachment on your skid steer must have forks that are a maximum of 7” inches wide on 24” inch centers to work with the Oblast model, while the Upland can fit on forks that are up to 5.5” inches wide on 22” inch centers. Be sure to verify the adjustability and width of your forks to ensure proper fitment.

Where will you unload accumulated debris?

Both of the fork mounted sweepers feature easy clean-off that lets users raise the magnet over a bin and release debris by pulling one of the debris tray release handles on either side of the unit. This will require another person to release the debris tray while the magnet is raised over the desired receptacle. The front mounted options have hydraulic or gravity release mechanisms, so the operator won’t need assistance.

The maximum lifting height of the Skid Steer Magnets;

Oblast | 10 and 1/2 inches
Upland | 10 and 3/4 inches
Meerkat | 10 inches
Sokoke | 12.5 inches
Ocicat | 13 inches
