Are you looking for a vehicle-mounted system engineered to streamline the safe lifting and replacement of manhole covers? The Mag-Mate Manhole PowerArm™, available in both manual (MCLPAM1000) and electric (MCLPAE2000) winch versions, has a 400 lb working capacity, the PowerArm attaches to a standard 2″ receiver hitch and uses a 3-foot, 180° swing arm to position a magnet (sold separately) precisely over the center of the lid. This setup reduces manual strain, eliminates unsafe pry bar usage, and enables one-person operation even for heavy or recessed covers.
Key Features
400 lb lifting capacity — rated for most standard manhole covers.
3′, 180° swing arm with double-jointed elbow to center a lift magnet over the lid.
Manual or electric winch versions — choose the MCLPAM1000 for manual worm-gear or MCLPAE2000 for a 12 V DC powered hoist.
Vehicle-mountable design — fits into a standard 2″ square trailer hitch for secure and convenient transport.
Steel tubular construction — rugged welded 2″ × 3″ frame for durability.
Remote control (electric model) — includes a 15′ remote cord for safe operation from a distance.
