Pre-Use Verification Checklist — Load-It® MagHead Field Inspection
Complete this check before every use. It takes under two minutes. The checklist applies regardless of how familiar the operator is with the tool or how recently it was last used.
01 · Tool Condition
Inspect the tool before it reaches the load.
02 · Surface Verification
Verify the actual work surface.
03 · Operational Confirmation
Confirm how the tool will be used before the load moves.
Remove From Service If
Do not continue with a compromised tool.
Important Safety Information
Load-It® MagHead is an exposure-control aid — not lifting equipment.
Magnetic holding-force ratings must not be interpreted as lifting capacity. The crane or hoist supports the load at all times. Inspect before use. Remove from service if damaged.
Using This Checklist for Toolbox Talks
A shared 90-second pre-use confirmation.
This checklist suits toolbox talk use before lifting operations involving magnetic push-pull tools. The three sections — tool condition, surface verification, and operational confirmation — correspond to the three phases of pre-use verification.
Walking through it as a team confirmation exercise takes approximately 90 seconds and establishes a shared understanding of how the tool will be used and what its limits are.

Not sure which configuration fits the task?
PSC's Application Mapping Review examines the actual task — the load, the surface, the access conditions, and the operator's movement — and recommends the correct matched configuration.
