Bundles of rolled reinforced construction bars (re-bars)
Handling bundles of rebars with electromagnets offers significant advantages over traditional methods such as chains or slings. This approach enhances efficiency, safety, and storage optimization, allowing a single operator to manage the entire process from the crane cabin or via remote control.
Key Benefits:
-
Increased Productivity: Electromagnetic systems enable rapid lifting and releasing of bundles, reducing cycle times. For instance, loading a lorry can take as little as 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the operational setup and distance. This efficiency minimizes labor costs and accelerates throughput.
- Enhanced Safety: Traditional methods require multiple operators to manually attach and detach lifting devices, posing safety risks. In contrast, electromagnetic handling eliminates the need for ground personnel during operations, reducing the potential for workplace accidents. The system’s electronic control continuously monitors performance, ensuring reliable and secure handling.
-
Optimized Storage and Space Utilization: Using magnets eliminates the necessity for wooden spacers between bundles, allowing for denser stacking and maximizing storage space. This method also removes the need for aisles between stacks, further enhancing storage efficiency.
SGM’s Customized Solutions:
SGM designs and manufactures tailored spreader beams to meet specific handling requirements. Options include fixed-length narrow beams with auxiliary hooks and motorized or non-motorized telescopic beams capable of handling bundles up to 18 meters in length. The magnet pole shoes make direct contact with the upper surface of the bundle, with energizing and de-energizing phases completing in approximately 3 seconds, ensuring swift and secure operations.
Compliance and Quality Assurance:
All SGM lifting solutions are designed and manufactured in accordance with European Standard EN 13155, ensuring adherence to safety and performance standards.
