Whereas traditional manhole cover lifters force you to bend over, the Magnetar THOR allows you to lift all kinds of hole lids from an upright position. The use of this particular manhole cover lifter with magnet and hook will surely make your work physically less taxing.

Product description

The Magnetar THOR is in a league of its own. This magnetic manhole cover lifter is equipped with a powerful neodymium magnet. Besides that, it contains a traditional cover lifting hook and a hammer. All these built-in tools make it easy to lift, pry or hit any kind of manhole lid. All from an ergonomic body position, to make this repetitive task cost you less power and effort. Easy right?

Magnetar THOR, outperforming regular manhole cover lifting devices

Who has to deal with many manholes, maintenance holes, drain holes or other kinds of mansize holes, will undoubtedly be in possession of a traditional manhole cover lifter, hook or similar. The use of these kinds of products most often requires serious effort. Opening heavy duty lids can be really strenuous. In some instances, this could even lead to injuries, something you would want to prevent at any cost.

The Magnetar THOR takes a different approach. By using the powerful magnet, it will be possible to lift most manhole covers from an upright position. This way, you will need to use much less force in your legs and back. Which, in turn, will benefit your health in the long run.

The three features of the Magnetar THOR

With the Magnetar THOR, we combined a manhole cover hook, cover lifter and hammer in one product. This way, you will be prepared for any situation, avoid the physical strain, and save up valuable space. The product stands out with these three characteristic features.

• Lifting
• Prying
• Hitting

Do you need to open a manhole cover? In most cases, this will be possible with a strong neodymium magnet, similar to the ones we use as our fishing magnets. These magnets have a tensile force of about 660 Lbs. (300 kg). By turning the THOR around, grabbing the hook and hammer, you can easily lift the cover out of its ring.

The use of the magnet alone might not be sufficient under certain circumstances. In turn, the hook can be used to pry stuck covers loose. Moreover, sufficient lifting force can easily be created by using the leverage of the length of the 26.4” (67 cm) long stick. Do you notice movement in the cover? Now it’s time to use the magnet to lift it up.

When the lid really doesn’t move at all, hitting it with the hammer is an option. This helps in creating slack within the ring, and can be followed by prying the cover and lifting it with the magnet.

Features of the magnetic manhole cover lifter

The Magnetar THOR is a compact magnetic manhole cover lifter with a hammer. The tool has a length of 26.4” (67 cm) and width of just over 8.3” (21 cm), which ensures that the product can easily be stored and transported. This piece of equipment is made of galvanized steel and weighs about 8.8 Lbs. (4 kg), making it a rock-solid and especially durable object. Finally, the stick has a diameter of about 0.8” (20 mm) making it highly resistant to any impact.

Storing the Magnetar THOR

The neodymium magnet makes our magnetic manhole cover lifter extremely practical. However, users will have to bear in mind that this tool can’t be stored just anywhere. You wouldn’t want any random object or vehicle to get stuck to the magnet. When storing the Magnetar THOR in a company vehicle, it is advisable to hang the magnetic side relatively free from any obstacles.
