The electro-magnet can be switched on and pick up metal. Then the electro-magnet can be switched off and the metal will be released. A natural magnet would not release the metal.

Natural magnets are not strong enough to lift heavy loads typically encountered in crane operations. Man-made magnets, such as electromagnets, can be controlled and adjusted to generate the necessary magnetic force to lift heavy objects more efficiently. Additionally, natural magnets can lose their magnetism over time, making them unreliable for industrial applications.
