The first thing I did was load test these with a full sheet of 3/4" plate weighing 1700 lbs and neither of the 2 I purchased would pick the sheet so be wary of the load rating. On the plus side, these handle picking parts off of the plasma table and moving parts around the shop great. The ergonomics are fantastic, everyone here loves the locking handle setup. It's much easier to flip than my exponentially more expensive lifting magnets. I will be buying several more of these.
