Mecal Lifting Magnets

MECAL MAGNET SYSTEMS FOR PLATE STEEL HANDLING:

Mecal has supplied 10+ magnet systems to steel distribution centres, rail yard and steel cutting shops.

Typical features are:

The magnet beam arrangement to suit Dual Hoist Crane (supplied by others) is to lift and handle the complete range of steel plates as shown:

5 – 150 mm thick,

up to 3200 mm wide

up to 12000 mm long

Nominal maximum load: 10.0 Tonnes

With 4 hydraulic cylinder actuators, the positions of the 4 magnets under the beam can be set for a particular application so that the system can safely and efficiently handle single or multiple plates, or loose/bundled plates.

Equipment included:

Lifting Beam with
Hydraulic Cylinders, Load Skates, Catenary Flexible Cable System, Support Stands, Hydraulic Tank and Motor
Electro Magnets – 4 off only
Suspension Chain / Shackles,
Fixed wiring to Junction Box on lifting beam
Resistors to vary output voltages
Cable Reel, Flexible cable, plug & Socket for the supply DC power to magnet system.
Emergency Back up Battery Power,
DC power supply to magnet system
