Hydraulic magnet for excavator is a specialized attachment, allows an excavator to efficiently pick up, move, and unload ferrous materials using the magnetic force generated through the machine’s existing hydraulic system. This type of attachment has become increasingly important in industries such as scrap metal recycling, demolition, construction, waste handling, and material sorting. The excavator magnet attachment is primarily engineered to convert hydraulic power into magnetic force. Because of their simplicity, durability, and versatility, hydraulic magnets continue to gain popularity across a wide range of heavy-duty operations.

YG Excavator Magnet Advantages
- Because the hydraulic magnet for excavator connects directly to the excavator’s hydraulic lines, the hydraulic magnet does not require generators, cables, or electrical controllers. Operators can attach or detach it quickly using a standard excavator quick coupler, minimizing downtime.
- Low maintenance
With fewer electrical components and simplified construction, hydraulic magnets typically require less maintenance. There are no power cables to wear out and no external generators to service. - High lifting force
Modern hydraulic magnets deliver strong magnetic performance capable of lifting heavy steel beams, scrap metal piles, rebar bundles, and demolition debris. - Increased productivity
Operators can pick up materials much faster than with manual sorting or mechanical grapples. The instant on off control reduces operating cycle time significantly. - Safety improvement
Hydraulic magnets reduce the need for laborers to handle sharp or hazardous scrap metal manually, thereby decreasing the risk of injury.


Why Investing in a Hydraulic Magnet Attachment Is Worthwhile?
Businesses that regularly handle steel, iron, or ferrous debris benefit greatly from owning a hydraulic magnet. Key advantages include:
- Reduced labor costs
- Shorter project timelines
- Improved safety
- Higher material recovery rates
- Lower operating expenses due to minimal maintenance
- Enhanced versatility of existing excavators


Common Applications of Hydraulic Magnet for Sale
- Scrap metal recycling
Scrap yards rely heavily on magnetic lifting attachments to move steel plates, iron pieces, machines, engines, and mixed ferrous materials. A hydraulic magnet allows rapid collection and sorting. - Demolition and deconstruction
During demolition, steel beams, rebar, and metal fragments must be safely removed from debris. A hydraulic magnet quickly gathers metal waste from concrete rubble, improving cleanup efficiency. - Construction site clean-up
Metal waste, such as cut rebar, nails, studs, pipes, and steel plate, can be dangerous for workers. Using a magnet ensures fast and thorough removal of metal materials. - Industrial material handling
Factories and warehouses often use hydraulic magnets mounted on excavators or cranes to transport metal parts, sheets, and assemblies. - Ports and cargo handling
Ports frequently handle metal cargo, steel scraps, and containers with metallic components. Hydraulic magnets provide fast loading and unloading solutions.


How to Choose the Right Excavator Magnet?
Selecting the proper hydraulic magnet requires consideration of several factors to achieve optimal performance and efficiency.
- Excavator size and hydraulic capacity
The magnet must match the excavator’s hydraulic flow rate, pressure, and operating weight. Undersized magnets reduce productivity, while oversized magnets may overload the excavator. - Required lifting capacity
Different industries require magnets with specific lifting strength. Heavy scrap yards need high power magnets, while light construction cleanup requires a medium duty unit. - Material type
If handling highly irregular, bulky, or mixed scrap, a large diameter magnet provides stronger coverage. For compact materials, a smaller magnet may be sufficient.
