SuperMag-LT
Storch SuperMag®-LT88 Front Mount Sweeper (Patent Pending)
(88" Width Only)
The Storch SuperMag®-LT88 is the world’s first self-cleaning permanent magnet designed specifically for light trucks, engineered to operate in front of the tires of your work vehicle.
The SuperMag-LT88 easily connects to your existing straight blade snow plow setup from Boss® or Western®, requiring no additional equipment or attachments. A Boss® or Western® plow, tower, and controller are needed to operate the SuperMag. From the comfort of the cab, the operator can use a standard plow controller from either Boss® or Western® to raise and lower the SuperMag-LT88 assembly just like a snow plow blade. The float mode tracks uneven surfaces with ease, and the left/right buttons on the plow hand controller cycle the hydraulic cylinder inside the housing to rotate the permanent magnet on and off. There are no wires or springs to fail, making this a simple yet robust product designed and built in the United States to last for generations.
The SuperMag-LT88 offers 880 square inches of powerful magnetic sweeping surface area. Engineered with oversized permanent ceramic magnets for maximum reach and pulling power, the SuperMag-LT88 effectively reduces tire damage and personal injury in various commercial and industrial applications by removing hazardous ferrous metal debris from asphalt, concrete, grass, and gravel roadways.
Key Features:
- Self-Cleaning Permanent Magnet: Ensures continuous operation without manual intervention.
- Easy Integration: Connects to existing snow plow hook-ups without additional equipment.
- User-Friendly Controls: Operate using standard plow controllers from Boss® or Western®.
- Robust Construction: Built in the USA to withstand tough conditions and last for generations.
- Wide Application: Ideal for commercial and industrial use on various smooth surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, grass, and compacted gravel.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Safety: Reduces the risk of tire damage and personal injury by removing ferrous metal debris.
- Maintenance-Free: No wires or springs to fail, ensuring reliable performance.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for various surfaces and environments, making it a versatile addition to your work vehicle.
Optimize your light truck’s efficiency and safety with the Storch SuperMag-LT88 Front Mount Sweeper. Engineered for excellence, designed for durability.

SuperMag-HD
(Storch SuperMag-HD96 Shown with optional PowerPac)
Storch® SuperMag®-HD Series
(Available in 48", 72", 96", 110" Widths)
The Storch® SuperMag®-HD Series is the world’s first heavy-duty self-cleaning permanent magnet designed for use with forks or SSL (Skid Steer Loaders) with a standard integrated mount. These magnets are more than twice as strong as our standard models, providing unparalleled performance for demanding applications. Trusted by nearly every branch of the United States Military, the SuperMag®-HD Series is built to meet the highest standards of reliability and strength.
The SuperMag®-HD Series comes standard with tow-behind kits featuring Michelin Airless Tweel tires, with optional Carlisle flotation implement tires available for deep sand applications. The permanent magnet is hydraulically actuated, hinging upward and away from your working surface. This separates the magnetic field from the debris you've collected, allowing the material to drop away into your desired location. If your machine doesn't have auxiliary hydraulic power, the robust Storch® Hydraulic PowerPac can be used.
Key Features:
- Heavy-Duty Performance: More than twice as strong as our standard models, designed for the toughest jobs.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Compatible with forks or SSLs using a standard integrated mount.
- Advanced Tow-Behind Kits: Equipped with Michelin Airless Tweel tires, with optional Carlisle flotation tires for deep sand.
- Hydraulic Actuation: The magnet hinges upward to release collected debris efficiently.
- Auxiliary Hydraulic Power: Compatible with the robust Storch® Hydraulic PowerPac for machines without hydraulic power.
- Maintenance-Free: Solid-state magnetic system with no wires, coils, or need for a generator or electrical source.
- Military Trusted: Relied upon by several branches of the United States Military for its durability and effectiveness.
Benefits:
- Superior Strength: Heavy-duty magnets provide powerful debris collection for commercial and industrial use.
- Easy Debris Release: Hydraulic actuation ensures quick and efficient debris release.
- Flexible Operation: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, handling a variety of surfaces including asphalt, concrete, grass, and gravel.
- Reliable Design: Built to last with minimal maintenance, ensuring long-term performance.
How It Works:
- Debris Collection: With the magnet in the lowered position, the SuperMag®-HD attracts and picks up metal debris, which attaches to the stainless steel plate below the magnet.
- Debris Release: Lifting the magnet using your existing hydraulic system redirects the magnetic field, releasing the collected debris directly to your desired location with the help of gravity.
- External Hydraulic System: For machines without hydraulics, the SuperMag®-HD can be equipped with an external hydraulic system, ensuring compatibility with every SuperMag®-HD model.
Optimize your heavy-duty cleaning and debris removal with the Storch® SuperMag®-HD Series. Engineered for maximum strength and reliability, designed for versatility.
