Magnetic power
700 lbs of pull force.
Zero back strain.
700 lbs
Rare-earth neodymium magnets latch instantly onto any ferromagnetic manhole lid, water valve cover, or sewer lid. No hooks. No fumbling. One motion and you're lifting.
Ergonomic design
Engineered by people
who do this work.
The T-bar handle and optimized lifting angle keep your body upright, balanced, and in control. Every design decision came from 30+ years on real jobsites — not a boardroom.
"Designed by dirty hands, not collared shirts."
Universal compatibility
Manholes. Valves.
Sewer lids. One tool.
Works on all ferromagnetic covers — manhole lids, water valve covers, sewer access points, and storm drain lids. Attaches in one second and detaches just as fast.
Built to last
Industrial-grade steel.
Field-tested tough.
At 5.88 lbs, The EZLyft is solid enough to handle real loads and light enough to carry anywhere. Industrial-grade steel construction and neodymium magnets built for daily jobsite use — rain, mud, and all.
The technology
Neodymium magnets.
Engineered to grip.
The rare-earth neodymium magnet assembly delivers 700 lbs of pull force through the chrome-ringed housing. The patent-pending quick-release allows you to set the cover down and disengage cleanly — no wrestling required.
Gallery See it in the field.
Everything on the spec sheet
matters in the field.
Six reasons The EZLyft earns a permanent spot on your truck.
Neodymium rare-earth magnets
700 lbs of pull force from the most powerful commercially available magnets. Locks to ferromagnetic covers instantly — no manual connection needed.
Ergonomic T-bar handle
Patent-pending dual-grip T-bar keeps your body upright and balanced. Reduces rotator cuff strain, back injury, and finger crush risk on every single lift.
Instant attach and detach
Lay it on, lift it off. Quick-release lets you set the cover down and disengage the magnet cleanly. No wrestling the tool free at the end of every job.
Industrial-grade steel
Not a consumer tool dressed up for contractors. The shaft, housing, and hardware are built to endure daily fieldwork — rain, mud, grime, and heavy use included.
Universal ferromagnetic fit
Manhole lids, water valve covers, sewer access, and storm drains — if it's ferromagnetic metal under 175 lbs, The EZLyft will lift it reliably every time.
Pays for itself immediately
At $349, it's less than half the leading competitor. One prevented rotator cuff injury — averaging $130,000 in cost — covers hundreds of units. The math is simple.

Why it matters
Every manhole cover
is a liability.
The CPSC reports over 5,000 manhole-related injuries annually in the U.S. A single rotator cuff injury can cost more than the annual equipment budget for an entire crew. The EZLyft eliminates that risk for $349.

From septic contractors to city utility crews.
"Big shout out to The EZLyft. Needed to pull a sewer lid and it makes my back better just looking at it!"
Jason Grover
Owner, Stool Bus Septic Services
"When we need to get a water line shut off in a hurry, The EZLyft is our go-to. There isn't a quicker way when time is of the essence."
Houston Earl
Circle C Construction
"Slick and quick to remove water valve covers and sewer lids. You don't have to bend over either — that alone is worth it."
Bonz Weeks
Preston City
"We've cut down on lifting injuries and complaints since we started using it. It's a complete no-brainer."
Utility Manager

Common questions.
The EZLyft works with any ferromagnetic metal cover — manhole lids, water valve covers, sewer access covers, and storm drain lids. If a standard magnet sticks to it, The EZLyft will lift it. The vast majority of standard municipal covers in the U.S. are ferromagnetic cast iron or ductile iron.
The EZLyft is rated to lift covers up to 175 lbs. The rare-earth neodymium magnets provide 700 lbs of pull force, giving a substantial safety margin above the rated lift capacity for secure, confident lifting.
The patent-pending design allows the magnet to disengage cleanly once the cover is set down. The release requires deliberate motion — it will not drop accidentally mid-lift — but disengages quickly so you are not wrestling the tool free at the end of every job.

The EZLyft is priced at $349 — less than half the cost of the leading competitor tools in this category. Given that a single rotator cuff injury averages over $130,000 in medical and lost-time costs, the return on investment on one tool is effectively immediate.
