Ohio Magnetics makes move to speed shipment times

Maple Heights, Ohio-based Ohio Magnetics has launched its Rapid-Ship Program for two sizes of Super Loadstar lifting magnets, with the program designed to enable shipping of the two models in one to five days.

The company, which is a business unit of Dublin, Ohio-based HBD Industries Inc., says the new stocking program gas been designed to dramatically improve delivery speed and customer satisfaction.

The inventory and shipping initiative is being applied to 48- and 58-inch Super Loadstar lifting magnets. The company designs and manufactures the product line at its Maple Heights facility.

Super Loadstar magnets are designed with heavy-duty cast case construction for scrap handling applications, according to Ohio Magnetics. The firm says the magnets have the highest lifting capacity in the industry, ranging from 2,200 to 3,240 pounds.

“This new stocking program allows us to respond faster to customer needs, reducing wait times,” says Kevin Sullivan, sales manager of Ohio Magnetics. “This means our customers can begin using the equipment immediately, lifting more to achieving greater efficiency from Day 1.

“These magnets deliver a significant performance edge, offering between 220 to 415 pounds more lifting capacity than comparable models on the market.”

With roots tracing back more than 100 years, Ohio Magnetics says it provides magnets that deliver lasting performance as well as comprehensive technical and repair services, along with expert guidance on proper use and handling—ensuring customers achieve maximum efficiency, safety and longevity.

“Our manufacturing teams are working in lockstep to keep inventory levels maintained for these magnets,” says Jim Feaster, Ohio Magnetics’ plant manager. “This ensures we can ship quickly to meet urgent customer needs and help reduce their operational downtime.”
