Hydraulic Magnet for Excavators – A Faster Way to Collect Scrap Metal

On demolition and recycling sites, collecting metal can take up a surprising amount of working time. Nails, rebar, steel pieces and other scrap metal need to be removed efficiently to keep the worksite safe and ensure valuable materials can be sorted and recycled properly.

The Green Attachments HMT 100 hydraulic magnet makes this work significantly easier. Designed for excavators, this powerful hydraulic lifting magnet uses the excavator’s own hydraulic system to collect and move ferrous metal directly from the worksite.

One Excavator – One Powerful Attachment

The HMT 100 is designed for 12–18 ton excavators. Its hydraulic magnet generator is integrated into the attachment, eliminating the need for external electrical cables. Simply connect the magnet to the excavator’s hydraulic system and it is ready for work.

This makes the HMT 100 an excellent solution for companies looking to improve scrap metal collection using their existing excavator fleet, without the need for separate lifting equipment or external electrical systems.

Where Can a Hydraulic Excavator Magnet Be Used?

The HMT 100 is suitable for a wide range of applications where metal needs to be collected, moved or separated from other materials.

Demolition Sites

Building demolition creates large amounts of metal and reinforcing steel. A hydraulic excavator magnet can quickly collect metal pieces from demolition debris, helping keep the working area cleaner and safer.

Recycling and Scrap Yards

Efficient scrap metal handling is an important part of modern recycling operations. A hydraulic magnet helps separate ferrous metals from other materials and speeds up the collection and handling of scrap.

Railway and Roadside Cleaning

Metal objects can be difficult and time-consuming to remove from railway areas, roadsides and infrastructure sites. An excavator-mounted hydraulic magnet allows operators to collect metal efficiently over a large working area.

Scrap Pile Handling

The HMT 100 can be equipped with teeth underneath the magnet to assist with material handling and scrap pile management. This allows the attachment to be used not only for lifting metal but also for moving and handling material.

Why Use a Hydraulic Magnet?

Traditional metal collection can require considerable time spent searching for, handling and moving individual pieces of scrap. With a hydraulic magnet mounted directly on an excavator, metal collection can be carried out as part of the normal workflow.

One of the key advantages of the HMT 100 is its integrated hydraulic magnet generator. The generator converts the excavator's hydraulic power into the electrical power required to operate the magnet. No external electrical cables are required.

The result is less additional equipment, fast installation and efficient metal collection directly from the excavator.

Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Magnet for Professional Use

Demolition, recycling and scrap handling are demanding applications. Attachments used in these environments need to withstand intensive professional use.

The HMT 100 is designed for heavy-duty applications, with the hydraulic magnet generator protected inside a robust steel cover.

The magnet has a 1000 mm diameter and weighs 1,350 kg. With a lifting capacity of 3–5 tonnes, the HMT 100 provides a powerful solution for professional scrap metal handling.
