Whether the overhead crane is controlled from the deck or ground cabin, the positioning and activation or deactivation of the magnets is much faster than the use of slings, chains or other lifting tools which also require intervention of operators in contact with the load.
With SGM Electromagnets, the bridge operator alone loads and unloads the wagons or trucks. SGM designs and builds specific magnets for this application taking into account the complete range of loads to be handled (section, length, weight, temperature). Movable diapason type polarities are suitable to either handle single profiles (lengthwise) or rows of profiles (crosswise).
