CMT’s Lifting Magnet Division provides the steel and scrap industries with first quality design, repair, and rewinding of lifting magnets as well as the manufacturing of new. CMT offers magnets in both aluminum and copper as well as our line of heavy duty drop ball magnets, which are currently in use around the world. Our new magnets are fully backed by our service center, a facility that can also serve as a repair center for all of your magnets – regardless of manufacturer.
We all know that lost downtime means lost revenue for your scrap yard or steel mill. That’s why for more than 30 years, CMT has offered high-quality, reliable repairs on industrial equipment and a variety of new, rugged scrap handler magnets. CMT is experienced in the design, rewind, manufacture and service of any magnet in your scrap processing operation.
Since 1999, CMT has been serving the needs of steel mills, scrap yards, and other industrial companies through industrial magnet sales and repair. We offer lifting magnet sales internationally for use in moving ingots, reclaiming scrap, loading furnaces, and so on.

If you’re looking to design and manufacture an industrial magnet for your facility, CMT is a top choice in the industry. From large rectangular lifting magnets to scrap magnets and more, we have the versatile equipment to complete the job accurately and efficiently.
All of our industrial magnets are thoroughly baked, purged and epoxy potted in a 99.8% moisture-free environment. We guarantee and monitor this through our specialized vacuum pressure impregnation process. Through the use of heat, vacuum, and pressure, all magnets are hermetically sealed with a proprietary Class H epoxy resin. This seals the assembly and provides resilient support and a void-free heat conduction bridge to the case.
We conduct a full operational test on every magnet we manufacture. Tests performed include: step-surge, impedance, resistance, thermal turn differential and high potential ground. Our attractive force analyzer is capable of measuring the theoretical lift of a magnet in cold or hot operating ranges up to 900,000 pounds. Lifting magnets are also automatically cycle tested at their rated duty cycles to assure maximum performance in the field. Results from these are provided in a computerized report, which is a valuable tool in assessing future performance.

Since 1999, CMT has been serving the needs of steel mills, scrapyards, and other industrial companies through industrial magnet sales and repair. Over the years, we have built a reputation by demonstrating our expertise on countless lifting magnets being rebuilt, remanufactured or completely engineered to meet today’s industrial demands. Offering 24/7 service, we will work to get you up and running again in no time!
At CMT, we offer exceptional magnet repair and remanufacture services for used lifting magnets. Prior to repair, all magnets are thoroughly inspected and evaluated. If necessary, a 112-inch vertical boring mill is used for precise machine opening. This is the preferred method of opening to protect case integrity and produce a consistent weld zone for easy reassembly. This process also enhances efficient magnetic flux transfer once the magnet is reassembled.
CMT has invested heavily in shop equipment to ensure we can meet all of your lifting magnet manufacturing and rebuilding needs. Aside from the 112-inch vertical boring mill, we have a variety of other high-tech equipment pieces in-house to help us do our job. For quick turn-around, we use a 200-ton puller press to make disassembly and reassembly of large lifting magnet components easy and efficient.
When it comes to fast conductor processing, we utilize three fully adjustable machines. With these, we are easily able to process copper and aluminum conductors up to six inches wide and from 0.005 inches to 0.125 inches in thickness. An auxiliary reel is available for use on electrified core style magnets.
For electrified core magnet rewinding, our versatile equipment can easily adapt to changing technologies. Magnets are rewound on three constant torque, constant tension machines using Class H fiberglass and Nomex materials. All of our winding equipment has been custom designed, as well as our proprietary conductor straightener and camber control device that salvages crushed conductor, to provide our customers unparalleled products and services in the industry.
