Bluestreak Equipment EIGER 62
Capable of operating on uneven dirt and gravel surfaces!
Ideal for operating in off road conditions!
The more off-road alternative to the Pyr Series magnetic sweeper. The Pyr and Eiger Series are quite similar but the Eiger has two key differences;
1) the Eiger Series has more “off road” capable 10” x 3” wheels that are foam filled flat proof and most importantly wider so that they don’t sink into loose sand, soil, or gravel conditions so that the magnet is still protected from hitting the ground and
2) the minimum sweeping height of 2 1/2” is higher (from magnet bottom to bottom of wheels) on the Eiger to provide more clearance to better accommodate uneven surfaces.
Designed for uneven outdoor dirt and gravel surfaces.
The EIGER utilizes permanently charged C8 Ceramic Magnets that will never need to be recharged to provide a strong magnetic field with a maximum lifting height of 9.25” inches using a two and a half inch nail. Power will never decrease, ensuring years of use.
Demonstration of lifting height of 9.25” inches.
Sweeping height is adjustable. The Minimum sweeping height is 2.5” inches with the bump wheels touching the ground. The recommended sweeping height is 3” – 4” inches, with a maximum sweeping height of 5” inches. Magnet effectiveness will decrease as speed and sweeping height increase which is why we recommend a sweeping height of 3” to 4” inches if possible. The “Wrap Around” magnet design ensures debris never gets wiped off the bottom of the magnet. You will also find in practice that most of the debris ends up on the back side of the magnet when operating at speed which gives you a good indication of why we have this feature.
The 10”x3” foam filled bumper wheels with steel hubs and 5/8” ball bearings have a 100kg (220 lbs) capacity (each) and ensure a consistent height off the ground is maintained when sweeping. They also help ensure the magnet does not hit the ground in the event of a bump, uneven ground surfaces or a compression of the vehicle suspension.
To clean off the EIGER magnetic sweeper when full of debris, just remove the wheel on one end and pull off the black PVC Quick Clean Off Sleeve that comes standard on the EIGER. All of the debris will drop off on the side of the magnet that you pull the Sleeve off from. Clean off takes only seconds.

The EIGER is ideal front mounted under shunt trucks or yard trucks operating at trucking facilities with dirt or gravel yards. It’s also ideal mid-mounted under outdoor forklifts operating in dirt and gravel yards around manufacturing facilities. Also a great option for tractors operating in quasi commercial industrial operations like greenhouse environments, or under tractors or attached to grooming equipment at equine facilities, etc., to control metal debris. The EIGER was designed specifically to pick up and remove debris that causes flat tires such as nails, screws, wire, discarded pieces of metal from fabrication activities, bolts, nuts, pins, miscellaneous metal pieces, etc. The EIGER is compact in size. For further information see the CAD section for CAD drawings showing overall dimensions of the various sizes of the EIGER. Heavy duty construction for long term durability.

For The Perfect Fit
The Eiger is available in 6 different sizes!
The EIGER has been designed in six different sweeping widths of 38”, 50”, 62”, 74”, 86”, 98” to accommodate many different vehicle sizes from small tractors to shunt and commercial trucks.
As a hanging magnet, the EIGER has no specific requirements of the vehicle to ensure FIT. You should however, take a look at the CAD files showing overall dimensions to ensure this will work with your intended vehicle and the anticipated mounting position.
The depth of the magnet from front to back (front wheel tip to back wheel tip is 10 inches).
The EIGER can be front, mid or rear mounted on a variety of vehicles as long as enough clearance and space is present.
The Eiger comes standard with a durable Quick Clean Off Sleeve for easy removal of debris. Also comes standard with 4 hanging chains and 8 quick clips for hanging the EIGER. Each hanging chain is 12” inches long (not including the quick clip on each end).
Additional hanging chains can purchased if you wish to add more hanging chains to prevent magnet swinging.

Easy, Convenient,
Durable, Quick Clean Off Sleeve
The Quick Clean Off Sleeve which comes standard with the Eiger allows for quick removal of debris even when the Eiger is mounted under a vehicle
The extruded black PVC Quick Clean Off Sleeve is 0.125″ thick, and the injection moulded ends are attached to the extruded sleeve by way of PVC cement. To clean the Eiger magnetic sweeper off when full of debris, just remove one wheel, and pull off the Quick Clean Off Sleeve. All of the debris will drop off on the side of the magnet that you pull the Sleeve off from.
Clean off is easy, convenient, and simple.
Exceptional Pickup Performance
The Eiger uses permanently charged grade C8 magnets that will never need to be recharged. Power will never decrease, ensuring years of use.
The Eiger will pick up a 2.5” nail when the bottom of the magnet is 9.25” off the ground providing plenty of pickup power performance. Magnet effectiveness will decrease as speed and sweeping height increase so to maximize performance we recommend setting the sweeping height between 3 and 4 inches in most situations. The maximum effective sweeping height while a vehicle is moving is 5″.
The Eiger magnet is completely enclosed, and the replaceable black PVC Quick Clean Off Sleeve further protects the magnet by taking all of the wear and tear of everyday use.
Protective Bump Wheels
Bump wheels are designed to hang slightly above the ground, but protect the magnet from hitting the ground when the vehicle suspension compresses or if there are bumps or potholes in the road.
The protective bump wheels allow you to hang the magnet lower for better performance than would be possible without bump wheels.
Wrap Around Design
The Eiger is designed as an all terrain magnet which means it is designed with our “Wrap Around” feature.
The “Wrap Around” feature ensures debris never gets wiped off the bottom of the magnet. The debris that slides off the bottom just snaps onto the back of the magnet.
In practice most of the debris that is picked up ends up on the back side of the magnet when operating at speed which gives you a good indication of why we have this feature.
Recommended Industry Applications
- Trucking Terminal Magnet – front mounted for use on shunt and yard trucks that operate in dirt and gravel yards
- Manufacturing Facilities Magnet – mid mounted for use on larger outdoor forklifts operating in dirt and gravel yards around manufacturing facilities of all types. Also for use on tractors and loaders of all sizes operating in and around commercial and industrial and manufacturing facilities
- Landfill Site Magnet – mounted on tractors/backhoes or UTV’s used at the landfill
- Equine Facilities Magnet – mid mounted on tractors or on arena grooming equipment or UTV’s
