Hydraulic magnet is an attachment designed specifically for excavators. It relies on the hydraulic system of the excavator for power supply, generates a strong magnetic field through the electromagnetic coil, and absorbs various ferromagnetic materials. Its core consists of the magnet body, hydraulic pipelines, and control devices, and the various components work together to ensure stable and efficient operation under complex working conditions. With this design, hydraulic magnets for excavators can easily handle a variety of material handling tasks and are the “power” of engineering operations.

Working scenes of hydraulic magnets for excavator
- Scrap recycling plant. In the scrap recycling plant, there are many scrap steel and iron parts in the mixed waste. The hydraulic excavator magnet can quickly and accurately sort them, greatly improving the recycling efficiency. It reduces manual intervention, reduces safety risks, and makes waste handling easier.
- Construction site. On the construction site, lifting steel beams and carrying waste steel bars are common tasks. With its strong suction, hydraulic excavator magnet can steadily lift materials and accurately deliver them to the designated location to ensure construction progress and safety.
- Port terminal. The Hydraulic magnet has great advantages when loading and unloading ferromagnetic goods at ports. Compared with traditional methods, it has a fast loading and unloading speed, can speed up cargo turnover, and save a lot of time and cost for port operations.
How hydraulic excavator magnet work?
When the excavator starts, the hydraulic system sends high-pressure oil into the hydraulic excavator magnet. The high-pressure oil drives the electromagnetic coil and instantly generates a strong magnetic field. The magnetic field penetrates the surface of the magnet and absorbs ferromagnetic materials such as scrap steel and iron filings. At the end of the operation, the hydraulic system is reversed, the power is disconnected, the magnetic field disappears, and the material is unloaded immediately. The whole process is easy to operate, efficient, and fast.
Why are excavator hydraulic magnets important?
Traditional metal handling relies on manual labor or clamps, which are inefficient and pose safety hazards. The excavator hydraulic magnets use magnetic automation to increase the single grabbing volume by more than 3 times and reduce labor costs by 50%. At the same time, magnetic adsorption prevents materials from slipping, and the safety of the operation is significantly improved. For metal recycling companies, scrap metal magnets are a key tool for reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
Real customer feedback: efficiency and safety are both improved
- A large waste recycling company in Argentina purchased YG’s excavator hydraulic magnets and reported that the equipment has strong suction and can adapt to complex waste environments. The recycling efficiency has increased by more than 60%, and the labor cost has been significantly reduced.
- After using it, a construction company in Chile said that YG’s hydraulic magnets for excavators have excellent lifting stability. In the construction of high-rise buildings, materials are lifted accurately, the construction progress is accelerated, and there are no safety accidents.
