    It would be tough getting it off anything it's stuck to.

    Those could be very useful to those of us that scrap heavy metal items. It gives me an idea how to make a portable magnetic lift to lift things into truck...

    magnets are awesome but can be very deadly if you do not understand the field strength of the ones your using the cartoon instance were things going flying across the room can be achieved but more likely in our business it would be something close like a screw or nail near by as were playing with it and rips through your hand lol as for your truck brcepurposing that's and electromagnet this one would just stick to your metal and have to use more strength to pull it off but hard drive magnets can achieve this if you use a plate backing and some good glue to attach about 100-150 magnets to which will lift about 250-400lbs depending on if your using the same sized magnets and attach it evenly to the object and lift it that way so when your in the bed of the truck then break the force easily enough by lifting from the corner of the plate. do a few trial and error runs most with glue strong enough to hold when pulled of the object

    a plate with a hydraulic cylinder might work easy enough

    Travis, no offense but it's really hard to read your posts without punctuation and spacing. It gives me a headache.

    Guys, maybe this would help, we seem to be a hands on type of people, make our own electromagnet. Just a smaller one like at the yards but for the back of the truck.

    Now this is a magnet!

    my original thought had been to use one of the magnets the same company makes that is a ring. if you change polarity on electronically charging them you have lift and drop. an a frame with electonic winch would give you a lifting platform.

    We use a magnetic table in the machine shop to hold metal when we surface grind something.

    Its a block of metal 8 x 14 x 4 with a handle on its side.
    Its full of magnets & the field projects out the top of the table, grabbing anything metal in its grasp.
    The lever rotates some magnets inside the unit. They either act. Or counteract, breaking the magnetic feild.
    No good for scrappin though.
