Is there any type of sheet metal handling equipment that won't scratch the surface of sheet while clamping on it? There surely is. Meet
HVR MAG's specially designed 800kg
steel magnetic sheet lifting device for safe handling of sheets in a steel workshop.
This set of steel magnetic sheet lifting device consists of 6pcs of
HEPMP-800P45X12 slim magnet lifters hanging on the beam, for the handling of single sheet of 3-12mmX6mX1-1.5m.
These magnet modules were designed in slim shape to exert their magnetic clamping force on the center part of the sheet, so that the sheet won't deflect during the moving process.
Only one worker can manipulate the lifting process via either the control cabinet on the beam, or via the remote control equipped.
This workshop used to lift sheets with clamps/hooks which are cheap lifting tools. What makes them change their mind? Probably its due to the following
drawbacks of lifting with hooks/clamps:
-
Plate damage - plates/sheets are prone to scratches, dents, deformations
-
Safety hazard - occasionally slipping plate
-
High labor intensity - 2-3 workers were occupied to cooperate the handling process
-
Low handling efficiency - manual separation of sheet from the stack is required to fixate the sheet each time before lifting
When it comes to the quality of sheet and the safety of personnel, decision makers of manufacturers should think more when choosing a proper sheet metal lifting device.
