Blumags – High-Performance Underwater Magnetic Lifters for Industrial, Marine & Defence Applications
Blumags designs and manufactures high performance magnetic lifters and underwater magnets engineered for industrial, marine, offshore, diving, and defence operations where strength, reliability, and controlled handling are critical.
We tested our magnetic systems for our underwater operations in a range of applications ranging from underwater lifting and rigging to offshore mooring, experimental dive operations, and Navy clearance diver tasks, delivering exceptional holding force with predictable, repeatable performance in the most challenging environments.
Purpose-Built Underwater Magnets
Our underwater magnets are specifically suited for underwater and maritime use, therefore, they are ideal for marine operations, including:
- Underwater lifting and recovery,
- Marine construction and maintenance,
- Offshore rigging and mooring operations,
- Experimental and technical diving,
- Clearance diver and EOD support tasks, and
- Drift prevention and stabilisation of submerged assets.
When correctly applied to ferrous surfaces, Blumags magnets provide instant, high strength attachment without the need for mechanical fasteners, reducing setup time and improving diver safety.
Underwater Magnet Solutions for Offshore & Defence Diving Operations
Blumags magnets are increasingly utilised in defence and specialist diving contexts. As a result are specifically used in:
- Navy clearance diver operations,
- Temporary anchoring and stabilisation of equipment,
- Disruption and control of submerged objects,
- Underwater rigging during EOD and clearance tasks, and
- Drift prevention in tidal or current affected environments.
Therefore, the ability to secure, release, and reposition equipment by hand provides operational flexibility during time critical underwater missions.
Blumags Underwater Magnet Product Range
Blumags offers a scalable range of magnetic lifters to suit different operational requirements in various holdign forces, detailed below:
- Flipper – 100 kg (220 lbs ) and 250kg (550lbs)
Compact and lightweight, ideal for controlled underwater positioning, light lifting, and diver-handled tasks. - Willy – 400kg (880lbs) and 800 kg (1,750 lbs)
A robust solution for offshore rigging, marine recovery, and stabilisation of larger submerged assets. - Moby – 3,200 kg (7,000 lbs)
Designed for the most demanding industrial and maritime environments, including heavy offshore operations and large scale underwater lifting.
Our magnets are engineered to deliver holding forces that exceed rated specifications, ensuring reliability in real-world marine and industrial conditions.
Engineered for Safety, Control & Reliability
Blumags magnetic lifters are designed with operational safety in mind:
- Tested to exceed rated holding force,
- Easily removable by hand using the integrated release system,
- No residual magnetism after removal,
- Safe for use near electronic equipment when correctly attached to steel surfaces, and
- Predictable engagement and disengagement, even underwater.
This controlled behaviour is critical for diver safety, asset protection, and mission assurance.
Custom Underwater Magnet Solutions
In addition to standard products, Blumags offers custom magnet design and engineering, allowing solutions to be tailored for:
- Unique underwater geometries,
- Specialist defence and maritime tasks,
- Experimental diving and R&D programs, and
- Offshore infrastructure and renewables.
This flexibility ensures Blumags magnets can be adapted to both routine operations and highly specialised missions.
