Telescoping Lifting Systems
Telescoping Magnetic Lifting Systems
For customers that need to lift various steel sheet dimensions, the heavy-duty Magswitch telescoping material handling equipment offers adjustability based on the length of the steel plate being handled.
Custom Lifting Device Solution
- Shorter Plates: activate only the inner magnets
- Medium Plates: activate all the magnets with the telescopic arm in the closed position
- Long Plates: activate all the magnets with the telescopic arm in the expanded position
- Fail-Safe Technology: with the loss of power, the system will not drop plates
- De-Stack: wide range of sheet thicknesses
Magswitch Heavy Lift Systems and lifting magnets fully meet the standards of US ASME Standard B30.20 for below-the-hook lifting.
