In the scrap metal recycling and demolition industry, efficiency and metal purity are key factors determining a company’s profitability. Imagine your construction site piled high with scrap steel mixed with dirt, gravel, and non-metallic debris. Traditional grab buckets or manual cleaning are not only slow but also extremely inefficient at grabbing small rebar ends, screws, or iron filings, resulting in the loss of valuable metals or their mixing with other debris, ultimately lowering the scrap steel’s selling price. Even more troublesome is that each time a heavy grab bucket is loaded onto a truck, it requires repeated “shaking” and sorting, consuming a significant amount of valuable time and fuel – undoubtedly a huge waste of operating costs.
The YG excavator magnet for sale combines the mobility of an excavator with powerful electromagnetic attraction. A single sweep over the scrap pile instantly and cleanly attracts ferromagnetic materials. As a highly efficient excavator magnet attachment, its use means your scrap steel processing will eliminate secondary sorting and inefficient grabbing, directly achieving a leap in both recycling efficiency and metal purity – an essential tool for achieving high profits in the scrap steel recycling industry.

Features of Excavator Magnet Attachment
- Superior Adsorption Performance: The core magnetic system uses neodymium iron boron permanent magnets, achieving a surface attraction of 12-18 kg/cm². The 800mm specification can adsorb 1000 kg of steel materials, while the 1200mm specification boasts a maximum adsorption force of 1500 kg. It easily adsorbs various steel materials such as rebar, steel plates, and scrap iron, with no risk of detachment after adsorption.
- Hydraulic Drive for Flexible Control: As a hydraulic magnet for excavators, it is powered by the excavator’s built-in hydraulic system, offering rapid response. Adsorption and release operations take only 0.5 seconds, and the operator can complete the process via a control handle in the cab, eliminating the need for an additional power source.
- Multi-Angle Adaptability: The connecting bracket supports 360° rotation and ±15° tilt adjustment, adapting to different working angles such as horizontal, vertical, and inclined. It can flexibly adsorb materials even in complex environments such as mine pits and demolition rubble.
- Dual Safety Protection: Built-in power-off protection ensures the magnetic system maintains its attraction even in the event of a hydraulic system malfunction, preventing material from falling. The outer casing features anti-collision cushioning to reduce impact during operation and protect the magnetic system and the equipment itself.
- Low Energy Consumption & High Efficiency: Requires no additional power; driven solely by the excavator’s hydraulic system, hydraulic energy consumption is only 5% of the excavator’s total energy consumption, making it more energy-efficient than electric suction cups and unaffected by power supply conditions.
- Quick Installation & Removal: Equipped with excavator quick couplers, tool-free mounting and dismounting are possible. A single person can complete equipment replacement within 10 minutes, maximising equipment utilisation.
- All-Scenario Adaptability: IP65 sealing rating ensures waterproof and dustproof operation in rainy and muddy conditions. Stable magnetic performance in low-temperature environments (-20℃ to 45℃) adapts to various climate conditions.

Safety Guidelines and Maintenance Points for Working at Heights in Scrap Yards Using an Excavator Magnet Attachment
I. Safe Operating Procedures
First, ensure a stable working environment. The excavator must be parked on solid, level ground. High-altitude operations on slopes or soft ground are strictly prohibited to prevent tipping. During hoisting and transport, the operator must move the boom slowly and smoothly, avoiding high-speed, rough swinging to prevent impact on the magnet body or excavator structure. Furthermore, strictly control the load during operation; overloading is strictly prohibited. Most importantly, no personnel may approach or enter the area below the excavator magnet attachment work area to ensure absolute safety during high-altitude loading and unloading. When unloading, ensure complete demagnetisation at the designated location before quickly and cleanly releasing the scrap steel.
II. Key Maintenance Points
- Structural Inspection: Regularly inspect the wear-resistant steel plate at the bottom of the magnet housing and repair any wear promptly to protect the internal coils. Simultaneously, adequately lubricate the pins connecting the magnet to the excavator.
- Electrical and Power Supply: Continuously inspect the cable between the magnet and the excavator to ensure the insulation is intact and prevent short circuits. If using a traditional power supply system, a stable output from the generator and control cabinet must be ensured.
- Moisture Protection: The internal coils of the magnet are susceptible to moisture. After rainy weather operations, ensure the magnet is dry and check the seals of all cable connections to prevent moisture ingress.
Strict adherence to these safety and maintenance guidelines will maximise the efficiency of the excavator magnet attachment and ensure the safety of operations at the waste disposal site.
