The efficiency of steel structure components handling is vital for the steel structure project. However, moving heavy steel plate remains a major challenge for many factories. This is especially true when handling steel structure components and long strip. Long and heavy plates require careful management, especially the narrow type. Therefore, choosing the right lifting equipment is crucial for safety and speed.
The Challenge to Handle Steel Structure Components
Many companies still rely on outdated methods. For instance, workers often use manual hooks or clamps to move steel plates, the cut narrow stripe and the PEB components. This approach presents several problems. First, it is physically demanding for the staff. Second, manual hooking takes a long time. Most importantly, it is difficult to adjust the center of gravity of the loads during the movement. Consequently, this bottleneck slows down the entire production line during busy periods and increase the safety crisis.
EPM Solution for Steel Structure Fabrication
Fortunately, there is a better way. Electro-permanent magnetic (EPM) lifters offer a superior solution for handling steel structure components. EPM technology does not require a constant power supply to hold the load. Thus, the magnet will not drop the steel even if the power fails. At the same time,only one operator needed to control the lifting magnet remotely.
Case Study: Success at a Jiangsu Steel Structure Company
Let’s look at a real-world example. A Jiangsu Steel Structure company faced significant challenges in their facility. They needed to move large steel plates efficiently. These plates are 6 to 12 meters long. Additionally, the width ranges from 0.5 to 1.2 meters. The thickness varies between 6mm and 60mm.
Previously, they used manual hooks. However, the management found this method too troublesome and labor-intensive. They wanted to reduce labor costs and improve compatibility with different plate sizes.
According the working conditions and requirements, HVR MAG provide a customized solution: HBEPP-050A0106-2 model. The results were impressive. Now, the system lifts one sheet at a time with precision, and able to lift the PEB. Workers reported that the new tool is convenient and easy to use. Moreover, the company successfully reduced the number of workers needed for hooking duties.
Conclusion
Handling long steel structure components does not have to be difficult. By switching to magnetic lifting, you improve safety and save money. The Jiangsu Steel Structure proved this value effectively. Therefore, consider upgrading your lifting equipment today.
