Magnetic Tray | Medium | Steel

Description

Keep small metal components organised, secure and within easy reach with the Magnetic Tray | Medium | Steel. Designed for mechanics, technicians, tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts, this practical magnetic parts tray provides a convenient solution for holding nuts, bolts, screws, washers and other ferromagnetic fasteners during assembly, maintenance and repair work.

Featuring a durable steel tray and integrated magnetic holding function, this medium-sized magnetic parts holder helps prevent small metal components from rolling away, becoming misplaced or getting lost amongst tools and equipment.

The magnetic base attracts compatible ferromagnetic components, helping keep essential fasteners together while you work. This makes the tray particularly useful for automotive repairs, mechanical maintenance, machinery servicing, equipment assembly and general workshop applications.

Unlike ordinary non-magnetic containers, a magnetic parts tray provides additional holding assistance for steel components, helping keep small parts organised even when the tray is moved or accidentally bumped.

The medium-sized design offers a practical balance between storage capacity and portability, making it suitable for workbenches, tool trolleys, garage workshops and maintenance areas where convenient access to small components is essential.

Magnetic parts trays are especially useful when dismantling machinery or equipment, allowing removed screws, nuts, washers and other fasteners to be kept together for easier reassembly.

The tray can also provide magnetic attachment to suitable ferromagnetic steel surfaces, subject to the strength of the magnetic base, the supporting surface and the weight of the contents.

Whether you're servicing a vehicle, repairing equipment, assembling furniture or completing a workshop project, this medium steel magnetic tray is a practical accessory for reducing clutter and keeping essential metal parts close at hand.

Also known as a magnetic parts tray, magnetic tool tray, magnetic nut and bolt tray, magnetic screw holder, magnetic mechanics tray, magnetic hardware tray or steel magnetic parts bowl, this versatile workshop accessory is designed to make fastening, maintenance and repair tasks more convenient.

Please Note: Magnetic attraction applies to compatible ferromagnetic materials. Non-magnetic components such as aluminium, brass, copper and most plastics will not be held magnetically.

Durable Steel Construction

The steel tray provides a robust container for holding small workshop components.

Steel construction makes this type of tray well suited to everyday use in garages, workshops and maintenance environments.

Benefits of a Steel Magnetic Tray

Durable Construction

Suitable for regular handling in workshop environments.

Practical Parts Storage

Provides a dedicated location for loose nuts, bolts, screws and washers.

Easy Access

Keeps components visible and accessible during maintenance tasks.

Reusable Design

Can be used repeatedly across different repair and assembly projects.

Workshop Convenience

Helps maintain a more organised working area.

Practical Medium-Sized Design

The medium size provides a useful balance between parts storage and portability.

A medium magnetic tray is suitable for tasks requiring more space than a small parts holder while remaining convenient to position on a workbench or tool trolley.

Benefits of the Medium Size

• Practical for everyday workshop tasks

• Suitable for holding assorted fasteners

• Convenient for automotive repairs

• Easy to reposition between work areas

• Useful for maintenance and assembly

• Helps reduce workbench clutter

The exact tray diameter and depth have not been supplied and should be confirmed where specific storage dimensions are required.

Ideal for Automotive Repairs

Magnetic parts trays are popular workshop accessories for mechanics and automotive enthusiasts.

During vehicle servicing, numerous small fasteners may need to be removed and stored temporarily.

The magnetic tray helps keep these components together and within easy reach.

Automotive Applications

• Engine maintenance

• Brake servicing

• Vehicle repairs

• Panel removal

• Interior component repairs

• Motorcycle maintenance

• General mechanical servicing

Keeping fasteners organised during disassembly can make reassembly more convenient and help reduce misplaced parts.

Workshop and Mechanical Maintenance

This medium steel magnetic tray is also useful for industrial maintenance and workshop tasks.

Potential applications include:

• Machinery servicing

• Equipment repairs

• Mechanical assembly

• Workshop maintenance

• Fabrication projects

• Tool organisation

• Small component storage

The magnetic holding function provides a practical way to keep compatible steel fasteners from becoming scattered across work surfaces.

Magnetic Attachment to Steel Surfaces

Depending on the magnetic base and supporting surface, magnetic parts trays can be positioned on suitable ferromagnetic steel surfaces.

Potential mounting locations may include:

• Steel workbenches

• Steel tool cabinets

• Tool trolleys

• Suitable machinery panels

• Compatible steel shelving

The magnetic attraction depends on the thickness, composition and condition of the supporting steel.

Important: Do not assume the tray will securely support its contents when attached vertically or overhead. Test the complete arrangement before use and avoid locations where falling parts could cause injury or damage.

Convenient Organisation During Disassembly

When dismantling machinery, vehicles or equipment, small components can easily become mixed together or misplaced.

A magnetic parts tray provides a convenient location for temporarily storing removed fasteners.

Benefits During Disassembly

• Keeps related components together

• Reduces misplaced screws and bolts

• Helps maintain an organised work area

• Makes parts easier to locate during reassembly

• Reduces loose hardware on workbenches

• Supports efficient maintenance workflows

For complex repairs, consider using multiple trays or labelled containers to keep different fastener groups separated.

No Batteries or Electrical Power Required

The magnetic holding function operates without an external power supply.

Benefits of Permanent Magnetic Holding

• No batteries required

• No charging required

• Convenient for portable toolkits

• Suitable for workshop and on-site maintenance

• Ready for repeated use

This makes magnetic parts trays a practical accessory for both professional and home workshops.

Compatible Magnetic Materials

The magnetic holding function works with suitable ferromagnetic materials.

Commonly Magnetic Materials

• Mild steel

• Carbon steel

• Many steel bolts

• Many steel nuts

• Ferromagnetic washers

• Certain magnetic stainless steel grades

Non-Magnetic Materials

• Aluminium

• Copper

• Brass

• Plastic

• Timber

• Glass

• Non-magnetic stainless steel

Some stainless steel grades are magnetic, while others are not.

Non-magnetic components may still be placed inside the tray, but they will not benefit from magnetic retention.

Technical Specifications

Compliance & Safety

Magnetic Field: Keep the magnetic tray away from equipment that may be affected by magnetic fields.

Medical Devices: Magnetic fields may interfere with pacemakers and other implanted medical devices. Follow the relevant manufacturer's safety guidance.

Pinch Hazard: Magnetic attraction to steel surfaces may cause sudden movement. Keep fingers clear when positioning the tray.
