Electromagnetic Overhead Crane
An electromagnetic overhead crane is a type of overhead crane equipped with a lifting magnet as its hoisting device to handle metal goods. It converts electrical energy into strong magnetic force through the principle of electromagnetic induction, thereby adsorbing and transporting ferromagnetic materials.
In actual production, electromagnetic overhead cranes are widely used. They are mainly used to adsorb and transport ferromagnetic heavy objects, and are widely applied in steel plants, scrap recycling stations, machinery processing plants and other places.
As a professional electromagnetic overhead cranes manufacturer, supplier, and exporter in China, MecBase offers high-quality and fully customizable solutions for global customers.
