The Magnetech Story
Magnetech is the next evolution of a family business
Magnetech was founded by our Director, James McNicol. James’ father had spent years working as a road line marker and had created a small side business, where he’d attach an electromagnet to the back of his truck to pick up leftover, potentially hazardous debris. James thought he could innovate this idea further to provide a genius solution across industries whose metal waste poses real danger on-site.
And so, Magnetech was born
James built on the original concept, innovating the idea further. Utilising modern technology, James found a way to make this process even more efficient, to provide an even better service. The steady state magnet technology is now attached to a hydraulic lift, which is fitted to the back of a utility vehicle. This makes it simple and efficient to take the magnet through your worksite and collect those metal scraps.
Today, our Magnetech service sees us work with you to establish a schedule and plot out your workspace in TracMap so we can ensure precision as we clean your space. Whether a workshop, open field, race track, or an entirely different application, Magnetech will have it cleared of any debris.
