The Advantages of Using a Battery Powered Scrap Handling Magnet

Demolition work can take you to some interesting sites. You could find yourself taking down a tall building in the middle of nowhere; on the other hand, you could wind up very delicately demolishing a structure while leaving its close neighbors untouched.

But not every electromagnet is suited for every job. Fortunately, when the conditions preclude a traditional electromagnet, you can turn to a battery-powered model to do the job. Here are some of the advantages of using a battery-powered scrap handling magnet on your next tough site.

Motivated By Moley: I Feel Like An Oscar Winner

It is the end of my second week at Moley Magnetics, Inc.  As I sit down to write this article (quickly) I feel that I must first start off like an Oscar winner, thanking those that have put me in this position; Ron Slaby, John Moley, and Nick Moley for inviting me into their hard working, talented family.  It is an honor and a privilege to be entrusted with such a strong brand in company and in people.   To my father, Dennis Kuligowski, who took the time and careful consideration to introduced us all–which is that networking thing we all hear so much about—but very few practice.
