Description

The Baffin magnetic sweeper is the industry’s premier commercial truck magnet, with features that keep the driver safe and the truck’s handling perfect. If speed and safety are a priority, the Baffin sets the standard for sweeping large areas. The massive 6" x 5" x 94.5" ceramic magnet in the Baffin can pick up a 2.5" inch nail from 10.75" high in a bench test. What this means in a real-world application is that the Baffin can effectively collect all types of debris at speeds up to 25km/h. The Baffin magnet was designed to take safety and efficiency to the next level. When using the Baffin magnetic sweeper, keeping the magnet at maximum power by keeping it cleaned off is easy and safe. From the cab of the truck a driver can actuate the hydraulic cylinders to empty the magnet into the two onboard 1.65 cubic foot debris bins, this eliminates the need to exit the truck to sweep/pick up the debris released from the magnet. Being able to clean the magnet off so easily ensures that operators will clean it more often; resulting in a stronger magnetic field that will be more effective at retrieving debris from the affected area. Being able to retain the debris onboard also means the Baffin can work for longer without having to return to home base to empty collected debris. Quick latch system for easy attachment and removal once connection plate is mounted on truck 0.866" inch torsion springs reduce effective weight of the 650lb magnet assembly, effective weight is 300lb because the springs provide 350lbs of lift 10.75" maximum pickup height using a 2 ½" nail 13" diameter, 6.5" wide swivel caster wheels, urethane rubber filled with 480lb rating each to keep magnet from hitting the ground as terrain changes or truck suspension compresses Heavy Duty Construction of steel & stainless steel Heavy Duty Construction of steel & stainless steel Optional 12v 3000psi power pack for trucks without onboard hydraulic power Remote controlled Hydraulic clean off feature (truck or power pack controlled) means the truck operator never has to leave the cab in busy and dangerous work environments such as the sides of highways, airports or port terminals 9" of total free float on both arms meaning you can pick up the magnet 9" before the hydraulic cylinders would restrict movement further - but when one end lifts more than 6" the other end will start to lift also. This free floating movement helps with uneven road surfaces, tire wear, truck suspension flex (turning & braking) and if a curb or obstacle is hit by the magnet. The two supporting arms on either side of the Baffin move together like an A-Arm suspension system, with the free play on the yellow arm where the hydraulics engage providing enough movement to let the suspension work without transferring force into the truck frame. 2 on-board debris bins that hold 1.65 cubic feet of debris each, that pull out from each side to empty when full. Navigating roadways and shoulders while having to constantly adjust sweeping height or avoid areas to protect the magnet from striking the ground causes mental fatigue for the operator and slows the entire cleaning effort to a crawl. To overcome this problem, Bluestreak built a caster bump wheel suspension system into the Baffin magnetic sweeper. The magnet and caster wheel assemblies on the Baffin are supported by 0.866" inch torsion springs, this reduces the sprung weight of the 650 lb magnet assembly and the weight off the frame it’s in to just 300lbs and allows the caster bump wheels to keep the magnet at the right sweeping height, acting as mechanical float. There is 9" of total free float on both arms, meaning you can pick up the magnet 9" before the hydraulic cylinders would restrict movement further, but when one end lifts more than 6" the other end will start to lift also. This free floating movement will help with uneven road surfaces, tire wear, truck suspension flex (turning & braking) and if a curb or obstacle is hit by the magnet. The two supporting arms on either side of the Baffin move together like an A-Arm suspension system, with the free play on the yellow arm where the hydraulics engage providing enough movement to let the suspension work without transferring force into the truck frame. Installation of the Baffin magnet is more hands on than most of our products; the Baffin comes with a connection plate that is predrilled in 12 places to allow for variance in mounting surfaces. Because of how many styles of mounts are on the market, it is impossible for Bluestreak to provide a solution that is a universal fit to all commercial trucks. Connection from the magnet to the truck requires brackets be fabricated by the customer, the connection plate we provide just needs to bolt or be welded to a bracket that hooks onto your plow mount or other mounting system. Baffin Maintenance Requirements The Baffin is loaded with helpful features to make debris collection easy and fast, but for top performance some maintenance is required to ensure reliable operation Fasteners must be in place and tight All hydraulic hoses and fittings need to be checked for leaks and wear If equipped with the optional 12v power pack, check fluid level before use Wheel spindles should be greased every month Wheels should be checked for uneven wear or flat spots annually Safety labels should be replaced if damaged
