Important Note About Steel Walls

Our Gator Baskets are designed to revolutionize your storage experience, especially when it comes to steel walls in storage sheds or pole barns.

Steel walls come in many shapes and sizes. We recommend confirming the dimensions of your ribbed steel wall before choosing Gator Baskets. Ribbing direction, depth, and configuration can all affect fit and performance. Knowing your wall’s specifics ensures your Gator Basket will function as intended.

Direction Matters

Does your steel wall feature vertical or horizontal ribs? Is the surface adequate to accommodate the 2” x 3” Gator Hook? Confirming wall orientation is key to proper function. Ensure at least a 2” x 3” flat surface area for the Gator Hook to grip securely. For best results, allow slightly more space. See example below:

*If you rely on a vertical rib to hang the Gator Basket as shown in the photo, the weight capacity may vary due to reduced contact area for the magnet. Add items gradually to confirm safe holding strength.

Coming Soon: If your wall’s rib configuration doesn’t fit our current Gator Basket design, don’t worry—we’re developing a new Gator Hook attachment to address this issue. Stay tuned for updates.

Why Choose Gator?

You might see “Holds up to 35 lbs” and think, “Sure, but doesn’t every magnetic hook company say that?” Fair question. Here’s what makes Gator Magnetics different: most magnetic hooks are rated using pull force, which measures how hard you have to pull a magnet straight off a surface. We use shear force instead—the downward pressure applied when the hook is actually holding something like a backpack, helmet, or tools. That’s the real-world weight that matters.

Traditional magnetic hook companies also test on thick steel—over 1.5 inches thick. But most homes, garages, and workshops have much thinner steel, closer to 16-gauge (about 0.06 inches thick). That’s what we test on. So when we say our hook holds 35 pounds, we mean it—on the kind of surface you actually have.

Thanks to our patented technology, Gator Magnetics products are engineered for real-world performance. By testing shear force on thin steel, we’ve built magnetic hooks and baskets that actually work—reliably, consistently, and exactly where you need them. We’re not just making magnetic hooks—we’re redefining magnetic storage.

Have Questions About Your Surface?

It’s nearly impossible to test every steel surface out there, but all of our testing is performed on 16–28 gauge steel because that’s the ideal environment for our magnets to perform their best.

We know Gator Magnetics might feel like magic, but it’s not—it’s science. If it were magic, it would work on every surface. But science has rules—and our magnets follow them.
