Rebar Magnets

Rebar lifting magnets are used for stockpiling of tightly fastened rebars at the stockyard or loading of them on the vehicles.

Compared to standard applications using chains, this type of magnetic applications can be conducted by a single operator. The load is grabbed and transported either by the controls inside the cranes control cabin or using a remote-control unit. When stockpiling rebar bundles at the stockyard or on vehicles there is no need to leave space between them and this operation does not require an additional operator for lifting strap. Hence, this system works a lot faster. Additionally, using magnetic systems prevents possible damages (scratches, bending, etc.) on the material caused by systems that use hooks or chains.

Power and number of magnets in the magnetic system are determined based on length and weight of rebar bundles to be lifted. These magnetic systems can be designed to lift rebar bundles from 6 to 24 meters long. Fixed or telescopic beam can be used according to the place of application. 

Magnetic systems can lift multiple rebar bundles at once. Applications used to lift 3,4 or 5 rebar bundles are commonly seen. Such applications provide significant time savings. Number of rebar bundles that can be lifted is entirely dependent on the crane capacity. Lifting and transporting of multiple rebar bundles ensures the most efficient use of stockyard. Loading of truck, based on carrying capacity and stockyard's availability, can be completed in 5-15 minutes.

Things to Consider When Choosing Rebar Magnets

• Application details (rolling mill, stockyard, truck loading and unloading, etc.),
• Maximum bundle diameter (most common bundle diameters are Ø250mm - Ø300mm,
• Minimum and maximum length of rebar bundles,
• Number of rebar bundles to be lifted at once,
• Crane lifting capacity and number of crane carriages and distance between these carriages,
• Temperature of the material to be lifted,
• Number of ties on bundles and distance between these ties
