HBEPP – Electro-permanent system for lifting steel plates

In brief

• The electro-permanent magnetic lifting beam with rechargeable battery (HBEPP) lifts individual steel plates with a minimum thickness of 5 mm, without an external power cable.

• It is used in metallurgy and the steel industry, steel construction and structural steelwork, and metal cutting and processing.

• A charged battery allows up to 300 lifting cycles; the charging time is 6 to 7 hours and the safety factor is 3:1.

Fields of application

The HBEPP is ideal for a wide range of industries requiring safe and efficient lifting operations. Thanks to its mobile, self-contained design, it is particularly popular in the following sectors:

• Metallurgical and steel industry: transport and handling of steel plates, bars and sections.
• Steel construction and structural steelwork: precise lifting of metal parts, reducing manual effort and increasing productivity.
• Metal cutting and processing: easier handling of plates for cutting operations.

Operating principles

• The HBEPP electro-permanent magnetic lifting beam with rechargeable battery is designed for safe and efficient handling of individual steel plates with a minimum thickness of 5 mm.
• Thanks to its integrated battery, this industrial lifting magnet operates without an external power cable, providing optimum mobility and flexibility.
• With a fully charged battery, the HBEPP allows up to 300 lifting cycles, maximising productivity and reducing downtime.
• Its charging time of 6 to 7 hours ensures operations can resume quickly.

Operating recommendations

To maximise the performance and service life of the HBEPP electro-permanent lifting beam, follow these recommendations:

• Ensure clean contact between the magnet and the steel plate for optimum magnetic force.
• Select the correct power level according to the plate thickness.
• Use the remote control for safe handling from a distance.
• Check the battery charge level regularly to avoid any interruption.
• Store in a dry, controlled environment to prevent corrosion.

General characteristics
