Hydraulic magnet is a practical attachment designed to help excavators collect, move, and sort ferrous metal materials on demanding work sites. It uses hydraulic power from the excavator and magnetic force to lift iron and steel without requiring workers to pick up heavy metal by hand. This can make material handling faster, cleaner, and more convenient. The YG series hydraulic scrap magnet is developed for different excavator sizes and working conditions, so customers can select a suitable model according to their machine and job requirements. Its compact structure makes it useful in scrapyards, demolition areas, recycling yards, and construction sites. The excavator magnet attachment can also reduce repeated manual handling and help operators move metal waste more efficiently. With a strong structure and simple operating method, it can become a useful tool for businesses that handle large amounts of scrap metal every day.

Hydraulic Scrap Magnet Provides Simple and Efficient Metal Handling
One of its main features is that it can work directly with the hydraulic system of a suitable excavator. The operator can control the hydraulic magnet attachment from the cab without leaving the machine, which helps reduce unnecessary movement around the work area.
Another useful feature is its strong magnetic surface, which can attract many common iron and steel materials. This makes it suitable for collecting metal pieces after demolition, sorting scrap in recycling yards, and cleaning up construction areas.
The YG series includes several models, allowing users to choose equipment for different excavator sizes and working needs. For reference, one compact model has a working diameter of 700mm, making it suitable for jobs where a smaller working area is preferred.
How Does the Excavator Mounted Magnet Work?
Hydraulic magnet works by using hydraulic energy from the excavator to drive its internal system and create a magnetic field for lifting ferrous materials.
When the operator activates the attachment, hydraulic oil flows through the hydraulic circuit and powers the magnet system.
The magnetic force then attracts iron and steel objects near the working surface. Materials such as scrap metal, steel pieces, pipes, plates, and other magnetic waste can be collected without the need for a traditional mechanical grab.
When the operator moves the attachment above the target material, the magnet can pick up the metal and hold it securely during movement.
To release the load, the operator switches the magnetic function off, allowing the collected material to fall at the selected location.
A hydraulic magnet can make the process of collecting scattered metal more organized because the operator can pick up many small pieces in a single operation.
Where Can We Use the Excavator Magnet Attachment?
We can use this tool in many different places. Scrapyards are the most common place.
Workers use it to move old cars, pipes, and metal beams. It is much faster than using human hands or small machines.
Recycling centers also love this tool. They use it to separate iron and steel from plastic and aluminum. This helps them recycle better and protect the environment.
Construction sites also use it. When a building is torn down, there is a lot of metal waste. The magnet helps clean up the site quickly.
It picks up nails, wires, and metal pieces from the ground. This keeps the workers safe from stepping on sharp things.
Farms can also use it to move old metal equipment. Anywhere you have heavy metal to move, this tool is a great helper. It makes hard jobs much easier for everyone.
