Aether 86" - 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" Magnetic Sweeper for Rough, Uneven Terrain AE86/4.5

86" Width, 297 lbs Total Weight. The Aether is unique because of the combination of its flat proof bump wheels on each end and its two wheeled outriggers positioned along the length between the wheels. The wheeled outriggers provide extra protection in rough environments that hanging magnetic sweepers with only wheels on the end cannot. Both of these features; wheels and outriggers, make sure the magnet doesn't hit the ground in rough, rutted, pothole filled environments. You can operate the Aether with the peace of mind that the sweeper won't get damaged. More room is needed to mount an Aether than some of our other hanging magnets because of the outriggers and therefore the AETHER hanging magnet is best suited for mounting under vehicles such as commercial trucks, bigger outdoor forklifts, Shunt/Yard Trucks, Telehandlers and Tractors. The Aether comes with 6 stabilizing chains and 12 quick clips to mount the Aether, and it also comes standard with a durable PVC black Quick Clean Off Sleeve to make clean off quick and easy. The Aether magnet has a strong magnetic field with a maximum lifting height of 9 inches using a 2.5" inch nail. (We use a 2 ½" nail to measure maximum lifting heights of all of our sweepers because it is a standard well know item familiar to customers. Keep in mind the maximum lifting heights will vary depending upon the shape and ferrous content of the items you are trying to pickup) To ensure Aether's performance pickup power long term, the Aether utilizes permanently charged grade C8 Ceramic magnets that will never need to be recharged. The Aether comes in 4 different sweeping widths of 62", 74", 86" and 98" to accommodate many different vehicle sizes and uses. The Aether can be front, mid or rear mounted on a variety of vehicles as long as enough clearance and space is present. We obviously recommend front mounting a magnet sweeper when at all possible so that you don't run over the debris with your vehicle before picking it up. To accommodate mounting of the Aether to a vehicle it may be necessary for the purchaser to design and build a suspension frame with mounting points specific to those available on the vehicle being used as well as the suggested mounting points on the Aether. Guidance on the design of such a frame and the mounting points is provided in the Aether Assembly and Installation Instructions. The AETHER utilizes permanently charged C8 Ceramic Magnets to provide a strong magnetic field with a maximum lifting height of 9" using a two and a half inch nail. The AETHER will pick up a 2 ½" nail when the bottom of the magnet is 9" off the ground providing plenty of pickup power performance in dirt and gravel and when operating on a moving vehicle. Sweeping height is adjustable from a minimum of 2.5" inches with the bump wheels touching the ground to a maximum of 5" inches. We recommend a 3" inch sweeping height with the bump wheels ½' off the ground.
