Here is a brief introduction to lifting equipment for steel profiles, beam blanks, by lifting magnet manufacturer & supplier HVR MAG, for safe and fast handling.
Conventional Lifting Equipment – Lifting Clamps
Many or the vast majority of steel workshops are still using conventional lifting tools to handle steel beams/profiles, like lifting clamps or grabs.
The shortcomings of using clamps is that manual clamping of the beam is required, and that the surface of the beam is prone to scratches caused by the clamps. Among all these, the biggest hazard may be that the sudden dropping of beam in the middle of air, jeopardizing the personnel on site.
Magnetic Lifting Equipment – Lifting Magnets
Magnet lifting for steel profiles, be it steel I beam or H beam. Remote controlled lifting device, offering a series of advantages over lifting clamps:
- Scratch-free handling of steel beams
- Tilt lifting available
- Selective control of magnet lifters for handling beams with varying lengths
- Electro-permanent magnet technologyfor safe and faster manipulation of steel beam
Features of Magnetic Lifting Equipment
- Safety factor 3:1
- PICK UP cycle
- Landing detection against accidental demagnetize
- Lamp block for status indication of the magnet
- Simultaneous 2-button operation to demagnetize
- Radio remote control
- Energy Efficient – EPM technology makes only a few seconds use of the electric current, consumes as much as 95% less energy than traditional electromagnets.
- Maintenance Free – No moving or wearing parts inside
Battery Operated Lifting Magnets – for uses where power supply is unavailable.
