Steel Plate Lifting Device: A Guide

steel plate lifting devices

When talking about steel plate lifting, a suitable lifting device/equipment can be very helpful. As a professional manufacturer of magnetic lifter, we are willing to share some suggestions from an objective point of view.
Now there are many kinds of lifting equipment /devices for steel plate on the market. Such as wire rope, hook, steel plate clamp, vacuum suction cup, permanent magnet, electromagnet, electro permanent magnetic lifter, etc.

When the frequency of steel plate lifting is low:

For some factories, the frequency of steel plate lifting is relatively low. Probably once for a few days or a few times for one day. In this case, you can choose wire rope and hook, or steel plate clamp. They are very suitable for temporary lifting needs. The prices of these traditional lifting devices are relatively lower. And the purchase is also more convenient. The price is also very cheap.

When it is for stainless steel plate and …

For stainless steel plate, or when the steel plate surface is very flat, and the bending is small, then vacuum suction cup will most likely be suitable. By evacuating the internal air pressure, the vacuum suction cup will adsorb the steel plate. Only it has relatively high requirements for the flatness of the steel plate. And one more thing we need to notice is the sudden power failure. If there is a power failure, it can only guarantee the suction power for 20 minutes, after that there will be no suction power.

What kind of situation is the electro permanent lifting magnet suitable for use?

Generally, it is suitable for the steel structural fabrication, engineering machinery, and shipbuilding plant. Of course, for any workshops who need to handle steel plate and profiles frequently, the electro permanent lifting magnet can be suitable. In addition to the price is more expensive than wire rope, steel plate clamp, etc., it has almost all unsurpassed advantages (Click to know more about the electro permanet magnet).
High performance, high safety, zero post-maintenance, and high cost-effectiveness are the outstanding advantages. As a leading brand of electro permanent magnet technology in China, HVR MAG has countless design, R&D, and custom manufacturing success stories in the industry.

How does a magnet work on a excavator?

The Magnet Generator in the excavator utilizes the hydraulic power available to the excavator. The flow and pressure of hydraulic oil are used to drive the generator to produce electricity, which is then used to produce magnetic power.
