Lifting system
September 1st 2007 Tecno-lift, available from FICEP,
works on the principle of a
permanent electro circuit which
offers the power of an electromagnet
combined with the
independence of a permanent
magnet. The power is only applied
for a few seconds to attach the
lifting head to the load, which is
then safely and securely clamped
in position for an indefinite period
of time. The load can be lifted,
moved, positioned or suspended
as required and the load can only
be released when it is back on the
ground, on a machine, truck or
racking system, by a further short
application of power. No battery
back-up is required to guard
against power cuts and electrical
consumption for this type of
magnet is 95% less than with normal electro-magnets. More articles from FICEP UK: |
