Frequently asked questions
Common questions about GATOR MAGNETICS from 3G Electric.
What is the load capacity of the GATOR MAGNETICS Magnetic Steel Wall Panel (MPN 500074)?
The GATOR MAGNETICS Magnetic Steel Wall Panel (MPN 500074) has a load capacity of 90 lb. This rating applies to the panel itself when properly mounted using the included hardware. The panel serves as the base for attaching magnetic accessories such as hooks and baskets, which have their own individual load capacities. For example, magnetic hooks are rated at 15 lb, 25 lb, or 45 lb, and magnetic baskets are rated at 35 lb. The total load on the panel should not exceed 90 lb, and the load on each accessory should not exceed its specified capacity.
Are GATOR MAGNETICS hooks and baskets compatible with other wall-mount track systems?
GATOR MAGNETICS hooks and baskets are designed for use with the brand's own Magnetic Steel Wall Panel (MPN 500074) or any ferromagnetic surface. The accessories use magnetic attachment, so they will adhere to any steel surface that is magnetic, such as steel tool chests, shelving, or machinery. However, they are not designed to fit into mechanical track systems that use slots or rails. For optimal performance and load capacity, 3G Electric recommends using GATOR MAGNETICS accessories with the GATOR MAGNETICS wall panel or a similarly rated steel surface.
What materials are used in GATOR MAGNETICS magnetic hooks and baskets?
All GATOR MAGNETICS magnetic hooks and baskets are constructed from steel. The steel provides the necessary magnetic properties for attachment and offers durability in industrial environments. Some hooks, such as the Magnetic Open Hook (MPN 300037 and 300043), have a black finish, while others, like the MINI Magnetic Single Hook (MPN 300084) and MINI Magnetic Dual Hook (MPN 300085), are uncoated steel. The magnetic baskets (MPN 300050 and 300058) are also steel. The steel construction ensures that the accessories can support their rated loads without deformation under normal use.
Can GATOR MAGNETICS magnetic baskets be used to store liquids or small parts?
GATOR MAGNETICS magnetic baskets, such as the Large Magnetic Utility Basket (MPN 300050) and Magnetic Towel Holder Basket (MPN 300058), are open steel baskets with a 35 lb capacity. They are suitable for storing dry items such as tools, parts, towels, or supplies. The baskets are not sealed or coated for liquid containment, so they are not recommended for storing liquids or wet items that could drip. For small parts, the basket's open design may allow small items to fall through if the basket has gaps; users should verify the basket's mesh or solid construction based on the specific model.
How do I install the GATOR MAGNETICS Magnetic Steel Wall Panel?
The GATOR MAGNETICS Magnetic Steel Wall Panel (MPN 500074) includes mounting hardware for installation. The panel should be attached to a wall using the provided screws or anchors, following standard mounting practices for the wall material (e.g., drywall, concrete, or wood). Ensure the panel is level and securely fastened to support the 90 lb load capacity. Once mounted, magnetic accessories can be placed anywhere on the panel's surface. No additional tools are required for attaching or repositioning accessories.
