Magnetic Sweepers: Making Construction Site Cleanup More Effective an Efficient


As the construction work at a construction site goes on waste materials need to be regularly cleaned up. It is particularly important to keep the construction sites clean as there are dangerous debris and other construction materials which can cause injuries to the workers as well as people passing by. Magnetic Sweepers have emerged as an efficient tool in this context. A magnetic sweeper is a tool mounted on a long handle, much like a push broom. At the base, magnetic strips pick up any lost nails or other metal debris from the ground. Some sweeper magnets feature wheels on each side, so that they can be easily rolled over the ground. Some sweeper magnets may also employ the addition of a rake-like attachment at the base, to pick up any metal pieces that are buried in the grass. Hand operated sweeper magnets can range in size from as small as 10 or 12 inches wide, to as large as 36 inches wide.

These have made the work of site cleaning much more effective because they can complete the work which takes 2-3 hours in just 20-30 minutes. Moreover, material which is magnetic in nature like iron nails and magnetic debris can be more effectively cleaned using a magnetic sweeper as they may not be visible to naked eye. Responsible firms are increasingly using these Magnetic Sweepers as they reduce the burden and cost of manual labour, as well as fulfill company’s ethical obligation of keeping the site clean.

Magnetic Sweepers are largely used by the roofing companies because roofers use a lot of nails, many of which get dropped into the homeowner's grass which may cause pricks and injuries to the house owners and therefore a thorough cleanup is very important.

Places like scrap metal yards and parking lots use magnetic sweepers which are mounted on large vehicles as the area is relatively large and needs to be cleaned up properly. These sweepers range in size from 48 inches to 72 inches wide, and can be suspended by chains from the front bumper of a vehicle. Some vehicle mounted sweeper magnets can also be hung from the forks of a skid loader, as well. These help by cleaning large areas in a short period of time. Therefore unlike the earlier days where the cleaning workers had to pick up debris manually from each site before moving on to the next one an efficient solution in the form of magnetic sweepers has arrived. The manual process was time consuming, costly and ineffective which led to wastage of efforts. Therefore many leading construction companies are opting for magnetic sweepers to clean their construction sites.

However, the necessary precaution that needs to be taken while using them is not to move it over the ground too quickly as it will make it ineffective in picking up magnetic debris. Thus, an effective and efficient solution for construction companies and construction site owners is available in the form of magnetic sweepers.
