Electromagnet Beam Overhead Crane for Handling
Steel Profiles & Steel Beams

Overhead crane with electromagnetic beam for steel profiles,steel beams, H beam, I beam & long & heavy loads handling. Check steel profile handling crane now.

Magnetic electric overhead cranes

Overhead crane is equipped with an electrical carrier-beam crane spreader with an electromagnetic chuck underneath it, which absorbs and transports loads. Electric overhead cranes are primarily used in steel mills, shipyards, ports, freight yards, and warehousing, and other places, to handle and transport steel tube, steel billets, steel coil, sheet, long containers, H beam, I beam, profiles, and other materials and loads, etc.

Electromagnetic beam overhead crane for steel profiles & beams handling 

Main specification of electromagnetic beam overhead crane

• Loading capacity of magnetic overhead crane: 5 ton to 50 ton
• Max. lifting height: 18m
• Span of coil magnetic crane: 7.5m~35m
• Control model: Cabin control /remote control /automatic control
• The lifting cranes are heavy duty equipment and the working level is A6.

The steel profiles handling overhead cranes can be controlled by a single operator from the crane's control cabin, a safe distance away from the material to be transported, or via the automation system.

Advantages of magnetic profile handling overhead cranes

Electric Magnet overhead crane for steel I beam or H beam profiles. Lifting device with remote control that has several advantages over lifting clamps:

• Steel beams are handled without scratching.
• Tilt lifting available.
• Magnet lifters can be controlled selectively to handle beams of varying lengths.
• Electro-permanent magnet technology for safe and faster steel beam manipulation.

Features of magnetic electric overhead crane

• The safety factor is 3:1.
• PICK UP cycle.
• Landing detection to protect against accidental demagnetization.
• Lamp block for magnet status indication.
• Demagnetize with a simultaneous two-button operation.
• Radio remote control.
• Energy Efficient - EPM technology uses only a few seconds of electric current and consumes up to 95% less energy than traditional electromagnets.
• Easy maintenace- There are no moving or wearing parts inside.
• Battery Operated Lifting Magnets – for uses or application where power supply is unavailable.

Application areas of steel beam overhead cranes

• A steel mill is loading beam blanks for machining.
• Beam blank storage in a steel distribution warehouse - tilt lifting.
• Single beam machine loading and dispatch in a steel distribution warehouse.

Whatever the application or specific handling requirement, we can custom design and manufacture magnetic lifting equipment for your steel beams or profiles to improve lifting safety and efficiency.

Steel beam and profile magnets

Profile magnetic beam overhead cranes were developed to replace the risky approach of lifting profiles with lifting straps. These magnets are used to lift metal-strip-bundled profiles (box profiles, flat bar profiles, pipes, angle profiles, and so on). Because this magnetic overhead crane system eliminates the need for lifting straps, no additional labor for the lifting strap is required, and the operation can be completed by a crane operator.

Eliminating the use of lifting straps and wedges results in more efficient stock yard use and lower inventory costs.

Because electro permanent magnets require surface contact to lift the load, only electromagnets are used for profile lifting applications.

Unlike billet lifting applications, which use two magnets, profile bundle lifting applications may use three or four magnets depending on the length of the bundles. The reason for using more magnets is to distribute power and prevent damage to final product profiles. The addition of a third or fourth magnet ensures a balanced grip, preventing the bundle's profiles from bending.

A magnetic system with a telescopic beam may be designed by the manufacturer for lifting profile bundles of varying lengths.

If the lengths of profile bundles are between 4m and 12m, for example, the beam can be designed as a telescopic beam to safely carry such bundles.

Many, if not the vast majority, of steel workshops still use traditional lifting tools, such as lifting clamps or grabs, to handle steel beams/profiles.

Conventional lifting equipment – lifting clamps

The disadvantages of using clamps are that they require manual clamping of the beam and that the surface of the beam is prone to scratches caused by the clamps. Among these, the most dangerous risk may be the sudden drop of a beam in the middle of the air, endangering the personnel on site.

Custom your profile steel magnet overhead crane

The following factors must be considered when selecting an electromagnetic overhead crane:

• Profiles that will be lifted (box profiles, flat bar profiles, pipes, angle profiles, etc.),
• Crane lifting capability
• Minimum and maximum profile bundle sizes,
• Minimum and maximum profile bundle weights,
• Number of profile bundles to be lifted at the same time.
