Billet-handling system in which a plurality of spaced arms pivotal on a common horizontal axis carry electromagnets having faces engageable with longitudinally spaced portions of a vertical face of a billet on an edge portion of a horizontal support table, the arms being rotatable to move the billet sidewise to a position over receiving rollers which move the billet lengthwise. The magnets are supported on the arms through a pivotal connection which is preferably loose and the arms are independently operated through fluid-operating means, with the magnets being independently movable into firm engagement with the billet even though the billet is twisted or cambered. Each arm is preferably provided with a surface which underlies the billet during the pickoff and transfer operation.
