The Double Girder Magnet Overhead Crane is a specialized material handling solution equipped with an electromagnetic or electro-permanent lifting magnet for moving ferrous materials without mechanical gripping devices. Unlike traditional hook cranes, this crane uses magnetic force to pick up, transport, and release steel plates, bars, coils, scrap metal, pig iron, and castings quickly and efficiently.

1.Steel Service Centers and Plate Storage Warehouses In steel service centers, this crane safely lifts and stacks individual steel plates, sheets, or structural beams from storage racks to cutting lines or loading bays. The double girder structure ensures stable long-span travel while the magnet system allows single-person operation without slings or hooks, reducing handling time and preventing surface damage to finished steel products.

2.Scrap Metal Recycling Yards Scrap metal recyclers use this crane to unload scrap trucks, feed shredders and shears, and load processed scrap into rail cars or barges. The powerful electromagnet penetrates loose scrap piles, picks up mixed ferrous material, and releases it on demand over collection hoppers, enabling high cycle rates in dusty, rough environments.

3.Foundries and Steel Melt Shops Foundries rely on this crane to charge furnace buckets with pig iron, returns, and heavy scrap without manual hook attachment. The magnet crane also removes slag and purged material from furnace doors and casting areas, and the double girder design withstands high ambient temperatures and radiant heat near molten metal operations.

4.Shipbreaking and Heavy Demolition Sites In shipbreaking yards, this crane lifts and separates ferrous hull sections and machinery from non-ferrous waste. The magnet's quick release function allows precise sorting of cut steel pieces, while the double girder bridge provides the outreach needed to cover wide dismantling areas with minimal crane repositioning.

5.Rail and Heavy Equipment Manufacturing Railcar manufacturers and heavy equipment builders use this crane to handle long steel beams, axles, and forged components along assembly lines. The magnetic lifter can be designed with multiple magnet modules or segmented magnet arrangements to uniformly distribute lifting force across uneven or elongated ferrous loads.
