Product Details
Every stray screw on a shop floor is a puncture, an injury or a product defect waiting to happen. The PML FS-Series Magnetic Sweeper — also called a magnetic broom — collects iron chips, shavings, nails, nuts, screws, tacks, barbed wire and staples in one pass, faster and more thoroughly than any manual sweep.
Use it to keep floors, driveways, construction sites, walkways, factory aisles, loading docks and parking areas genuinely clean — quickly, safely and without bending or picking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can it actually pick up?
As a benchmark, the 24" model lifts 3.4 kg of small nails (about 680 pieces) from a 2" height in a single pass. Real-world capacity depends on debris size and ground clearance.
Can I use it outdoors or in wet areas?
Yes — FS sweepers operate over most terrain, even in water, and the aluminium housing doesn't rust.
How do I clean the magnet face?
Wipe collected debris off with work gloves or a heavy shop towel. If you prefer one-pull release cleaning, look at our SR or RH series with quick release.
