K.W.
Supply has established a worldwide reputation when it comes
to designing, building and the renting of underwater salvage
and lifting magnets. Scores of salvage operations have been
carried out utilizing lifting capacities of at least 130 tons..

Supply works closely with a number of large contractors
by promptly delivering (if necessary within 24 hrs) rental
equipment. Amongst them are:
Smit-Tak - Rotterdam
Tsavliris Russ - Griekenland
Landmacht Mijnopruiming - Belgie
Politie Rotterdam (underwater weapons search)
We designed
several special underwater magnets for Smit Salvage in Rotterdam.
These magnets have a relatively small diameter (about 1500
mm) and a lifting capacity of about 60.000 kg.
The breaking point for metal parts
to be lifted underwater is about 80.000 Kg. This is accomplished
by utilizing the special operating system on the deck of the
salvage ship.
The photos show steel rolls being salvaged from
a ship on the ocean floor. The magnet sometimes grabs two rolls
at a time.
It goes without saying that besides
providing specific services to our special contractors, underwater
magnets can used to clean up the water floors off of scrap handling
docks as well.
