Ananke 95" Hydraulic Powered Hanging Magnetic Sweeper for Graders AN95

95" Magnet Width, 98.75" Total Product Width Prevent Punctures and Downtime when Grading The Ananke Hanging Magnetic Sweeper for Graders is a feature packed premium magnet capable of remote debris clean off and 36" inches of side shift (with optional side shift bracket). This magnet was designed to perform in the harshest work environments with durability and efficiency in mind. The Ananke is the only sweeper on the market specifically built to hang from the back of any motor grader with auxiliary hydraulics to continuously retrieve rock bolts, nails, screws and other metal debris from roads or shoulders. Using the Ananke on a grader will reduce the number of punctures and downtime for any equipment or vehicles using the roads. Keeping roads clear is also a safety concern as metal debris can get caught in tire treads and flung out when speeds are increased; creating a projectile that can harm personnel or damage equipment. The optional side shift bracket allows the operator to place the magnet off center, so it can sweep outside of the width of the grader blade, catching metal debris as it is pushed to the side by the blade. Permanently charged C8 ceramic magnets will never degrade and allow the Ananke to pick up a 2.5" 8 penny nail from 10.75", ensuring plenty of pickup power when sweeping in the recommended 3" inch – 5" inch range even at speed. Collected debris won’t get wiped off if the ground is struck and can be cleaned off using auxiliary hydraulics from the cab, switch between side shift and clean off function at the touch of a button using the remote included with the side shift bracket accessory. Using your grader’s auxiliary hydraulic systems, the Ananke Hanging Magnetic Sweeper for Graders can drop all collected metal debris without having to exit the cab. This is accomplished by two hydraulic rams that push the inner magnet assembly of the Ananke up and away from the stainless-steel debris pan, separating collected debris from the magnetic field to drop It all in a pile on the ground. Fiberglass poles on either side of the sweeper indicate the height of the magnet assembly so you can visually see when the clean-off cycle is complete. Since graders are running roads in their entirety at least once a season, having a magnet that can retrieve metal while the grader works doubles the work being accomplished at once. There hasn’t been a magnet specifically designed for a grader before the Ananke. Other than using a grader magnet, the best option would be to divert other equipment or vehicles to sweep roads with a towable magnet if it is being done at all. Once flat tires start to become a problem on roads or shoulders there is often more metal present than what can be seen and picked up off the surface manually
