Electromagnetic Overhead Cranes with Magnet Beam
Electromagnetic overhead crane with magnet beam (also known as electromagnetic beam crane) is a highly efficient special lifting equipment specially designed for long-strip and massive ferromagnetic materials. It replaces the traditional hook with a rigid beam (magnet beam) integrated with multiple groups of electromagnetic chucks, realizing non-binding, rapid adsorption and lifting of materials through electromagnetic force.
In actual production, electromagnetic beam cranes are widely used. They are mainly used for lifting and handling ferromagnetic materials such as steel plates, steel billets, section steel, steel pipes and scrap iron, and are extensively applied in iron and steel metallurgy, scrap yards, heavy machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding and other sites.
As a professional Chinese manufacturer, supplier and exporter of electromagnetic beam cranes, MecBase provides high-quality and fully customized solutions for customers worldwide.
