Hi As the title says looking for a magnet that will pick up metal debris from the road a large powerfull one the is easy to clean and will work to save tires. We had one but not strong enough and still having tire Injurys. Seems like when we grade we turn up metal and with the cost of tires going up I need to find one. So let see what you know
northern tool has magnets like this http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200609546_200609546 In several sizes. don't know if that would work for what you are looking for.
Yair . . . Hopuser . Tell us more, what sort of metal and why is it there? I assume you are speaking of rear mounted rippers on a grader? Cheers.

The road has misc metal nails and such we had one but it didn't hold up, The idea is to save tires from damage. it worked before but the magnet lost its magnetism.
If you have a big portable welder re-magnetize it. http://weldingweb.com/showthread.php?6886-Unusual-uses-for-a-welder

Made an electromagnet... For some reason, friend's weather radio quit working "the speaker lost it's magnetism. If you put a magnet near it it'll start working again" So... coiled up the ground lead ( about 20 feet) and stuck the radio in it. Lowest amp setting ( about 40 amp ) ... viola!! radio played like a charm. Im sure the welder wasn't too happy about that, but by golly, it worked.
Here is a link to some like we use for forklifts http://www.homeproductsnmore.com/Load_Release_Magnet_p/rl-36.htm
