Telescopic lifting beams are essential in sectors such as:

  • the steel industry,
  • construction,
  • material handling,
  • machine manufacturing

They are designed to lift and handle steel sheets, steel bars, prefabricated metal elements or other metal loads, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Operating principles

  • A telescopic lifting beam adjusts the length of its arms to match the dimensions of the loads.
  • It uses powerful electromagnets to grip and lift metal objects securely.
  • The arms are extended or retracted manually, by cylinder or by motor, depending on the model.
  • Once the load has been moved, the arms can be retracted. This mechanism provides flexibility, precision and safety during lifting.

Operating recommendations

  • Optimal positioning: Place the lifting beam above the load’s centre of gravity to ensure stability.
  • Arm adjustment: Extend or retract the arms according to the dimensions of the load while maintaining balance.
  • Speed control: Use a smooth, controlled speed to avoid any sudden movement.
  • Training: Operators must be trained to master the equipment and avoid the risks associated with improper use.
  • Preventive maintenance: Regularly inspect the electromagnets, arm mechanisms and electrical connections for optimal operation.

General characteristics

  • Telescopic arms: Manually adjustable or motorised, they provide a high degree of adaptability to the
    dimensions of the loads.
  • Electromagnets: Provide a secure, controlled grip for lifting heavy metal loads.
  • Robust structure: Made from resistant materials, ideal for demanding industrial environments.
  • Electronic control: Precise activation and deactivation of the electromagnets via an intuitive electronic system.
  • Flexibility: Compatible with different types of cranes and overhead cranes.
  • Simplified maintenance: Designed to minimise interventions and reduce maintenance costs.

Advantages

  • Adjustable length to lift loads of various sizes.
  • Safe lifting thanks to powerful and precise electromagnets.
  • Durable, reliable structure suited to demanding environments.

Services

  • Industrial commissioning assistance
  • Fast after-sales service response
  • Equipment fleet monitoring and periodic performance checks
  • Spare parts stock

Frequently asked questions

What is the telescopic lifting beam with electromagnets used for?

It is used to lift steel sheets, steel bars, prefabricated metal elements or other metal loads. It is used in the steel industry, construction, material handling and machine manufacturing.

How does it work?

It adjusts the length of its arms to the dimensions of the load and uses electromagnets to grip it. The arms are extended or retracted manually, by cylinder or by motor depending on the model.

How should the lifting beam be positioned on the load?

Place it above the load’s centre of gravity and adjust the arms to the load’s dimensions while maintaining balance. Use a smooth, controlled speed.

Which lifting equipment is it compatible with?

It is compatible with different types of cranes and overhead cranes. Its electronic control precisely activates and deactivates the electromagnets.

What maintenance is required?

Regularly inspect the electromagnets, arm mechanisms and electrical connections. Its design aims to minimise interventions and maintenance costs.

Advantages

  1. Adjustable length to lift loads of various sizes.
  2. Safe lifting thanks to powerful and precise electromagnets.
  3. Durable, reliable structure suited to demanding environments.

To size your machine, have ready:

  • The loads: type (plates, sections, tubes, scrap), minimum and maximum dimensions
  • The maximum weight to lift and the minimum steel thickness
  • Surface condition and temperature of the parts
  • The lifting device: overhead crane, crane, gantry, robot, capacity and available power supply
  • The rate and handling mode (single piece or bundle, top or side pick-up)
