ZOMAX electromagnetic overhead crane is a heavy-duty, high-speed crane that uses electromagnetic technology to complete the lifting, moving and stacking of electromagnetic materials such as scrap iron, scrap steel, steel coils and steel plates.
The crane spreader is available in two configurations: one featuring a hook with a lifting magnet and the other equipped with a magnetic lifting beam, depending on the specific material handling demanding.The magnetic lifting beam can be customized as a non-rotating beam or a rotating beam to accommodate various operational needs. In the event of a power outage or system failure, the electromagnetic force can last 10 to 30 minutes to prevent the immediate release of lifted materials.
The Electromagnetic Overhead Crane is a heavy-duty, high-speed lifting system designed for efficiently handling magnetic materials such as scrap iron, scrap steel, steel coils, and steel plates. It uses electromagnetic technology and offers two spreader configurations: a hook with a lifting magnet or a magnetic lifting beam (fixed or rotating) to suit various material handling needs.
With built-in safety features, it maintains electromagnetic force for 10 to 30 minutes in case of power failure, preventing accidental material release. This makes it a reliable, safe, and efficient solution for steel mills, scrap yards, and metal processing facilities.
The ZomaxElectromagnetic Overhead Crane uses powerful electromagnets to lift and transport ferrous materials like scrap iron, steel coils, and plates. When the magnet is activated, a magnetic field is created, securely holding the material for safe lifting. The crane can move the material across large spans and heights, up to 64 tons in weight and 100 meters in lifting height.
The crane features rotating or non-rotating magnetic beams for flexible handling and offers wireless or cab control options. In case of power failure, the magnetic force can last for 10–30 minutes, preventing accidents. With a robust design and advanced safety features, it ensures reliable, efficient, and safe operation in industrial environments.

Electromagnetic Suction Cup: A core component that absorbs and transports ferromagnetic metals by converting AC to DC power and transmits it via a dedicated cable drum to power the suction cup ,enabling the lifting of heavy objects.
Bridge, Crane Operating Mechanism, Trolley, and Electrical Equipment: These components form the crane’s structure, with the bridge supporting the crane, the operating mechanism moving along the bridge, the trolley running on the main beam, and the electrical equipment controls the crane’s operation and safety functions.
Rotating Structure: Some designs include a rotating structure, allowing the crane to perform 360-degree rotation for enhanced flexibility and efficiency.
Working Principle: The crane lifts objects using electromagnetic force. The suction cup generates magnetism to lift the object, and after moving it to the desired location, the power is turned off, releasing the load.
Electromagnetic cranes are ideal for handling magnetic materials in steel mills, such as shaped metal scrap, hot billets, finished products like rebar, steel plates, billets and pipes. The electromagnet grips the steel, moves it to the desired location, and then deactivates the current to release the material.
Magnetic cranes are widely used in steel rolling lines, finished product warehouses, steel mills, unloading shops, providing effective material handling solutions across industries such as steel production, shipbuilding, heavy machinery, ports, and railways.
