Your advantages and benifits

No need to climb over rebar piles, and there is no requirement for employees in the material handling area. Zero risk of injury when handling products or objects with sharp edges. No need for aisles between the stacks. No need for wooden spacers to separate the bundles. Simple system control from the cabin or through remote. No operational helpers are required. Less accidents and higher levels of safety. More space-saving storage. More rapid handling speed. Lower labor costs; a more appealing work environment.

For efficient handling long rebar bundles

• The rebar handling overhead cranes can be designed and manufactured with specific magnet systems to handle all rebar bundles of standard length.
• The extremely narrow design of the spreader beam makes it simpler to pick up small bundles. This makes rebar handling and moving between high heaps of stuff easier.
• A low headroom design makes the building more lightweight, which lowers the dead weight of the spreader beams. The crane system's service life is significantly extended by lower dead weight.
• The magnet suspension incorporates a long travel path. This compensates for any irregularities in the rebar bundles or piles. The first contact magnets are retained in place until all of the magnets are resting on the load.
• The rebar magnet control system enables individual magnet activation. Magnets are positioned and activated one after the other in the instance of a bent rebar bundle. The load can then be placed parallel to the spreader beam and lifted by adjusting the rebar overhead crane.
