Types of Electromagnetic Overhead Cranes

Electromagnetic-Beam crane
- 1. General-Purpose Electromagnetic Overhead Crane: The most widely used type, suitable for general workshops, warehouses, and metal recycling yards to handle common steel scrap, iron blocks, and other ferromagnetic materials. It features a simple structure, easy operation, and adaptable to most conventional material handling scenarios.
- 2. Explosion-Proof Electromagnetic Overhead Crane: Specifically designed for flammable and explosive environments such as chemical plants and oil refineries where metal scrap handling is required. It adopts explosion-proof electrical components and sealed structures to prevent sparks and ensure safe operation in hazardous areas.
- 3. Insulated Electromagnetic Overhead Crane: Equipped with insulated lifting mechanisms and electromagnetic chucks, it is mainly used in power stations, electrical equipment manufacturing workshops, and other occasions that require electrical insulation. It can avoid electric conduction during material handling, protecting equipment and personnel from electric shock hazards.
- 4. Metallurgical-Specific Electromagnetic Overhead Crane: Tailored for high-temperature environments in steel mills, such as near blast furnaces and converters. It has high-temperature resistance components and a heat insulation design, capable of handling high-temperature steel scrap, steel billets, and other materials, with strong adaptability to harsh high-temperature working conditions.
- 5. Double-Girder Electromagnetic Overhead Crane: With a double-girder structure, it has higher load-bearing capacity (usually above 50t) and larger span. It is suitable for large-scale steel mills, heavy machinery manufacturing plants, and other occasions that need to handle large-volume and heavy-weight steel scrap.
Steel Scrap Electromagnetic Overhead Crane Core Advantages

Steel Scrap Electromagnetic Overhead Crane
- 1. High-Efficiency Electromagnetic Adsorption: Equipped with a high-performance electromagnetic chuck, the crane boasts strong magnetic force and fast adsorption/desorption response. It can securely hold large volumes of steel scrap of various shapes and sizes, eliminating the need for cumbersome binding or clamping tools. The adsorption capacity is precisely calibrated to ensure no material slippage during lifting and transferring, improving handling efficiency by up to 30% compared to traditional mechanical handling methods.
- 2. Stable & Reliable Structure: The crane bridge and trolley are constructed from high-strength steel, after rigorous welding and heat treatment processes, ensuring excellent load-bearing capacity and structural stability. The optimized beam design minimizes deformation under heavy loads, extending the service life of the equipment even in harsh industrial environments with high dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations.
- 3. Precise Control & Operational Flexibility: Adopting a frequency conversion speed regulation system and a high-precision control panel, the crane enables smooth lifting, lowering, and horizontal movement. Operators can easily adjust the speed according to the handling requirements, achieving precise positioning of materials to avoid collisions with surrounding equipment or materials. The control mode supports both ground operation and cab operation, adapting to different workshop layouts and operational habits.
- 4. Energy-Saving & Environmental Protection: The electromagnetic system is designed with an energy-saving circuit, which automatically reduces power consumption during the holding phase without affecting the adsorption force. Compared to similar products, it can save up to 20% of electrical energy. Additionally, the closed electromagnetic structure prevents magnetic leakage, avoiding interference with other electronic equipment in the workshop.
- 5. Comprehensive Safety Protection: The crane is equipped with multiple safety protection devices, including overload protection, overvoltage/undervoltage protection, electromagnetic chuck demagnetization protection, and emergency stop buttons. In case of power failure, the backup power supply ensures that the electromagnetic chuck maintains the adsorption force for a certain period, preventing material falling and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
