General purpose overhead crane
Weiyuan QP Type Dual-Purpose Grab & Magnet Crane
Product Overview
The Weiyuan QP Type Dual-Purpose Overhead Crane is the ultimate multi-functional lifting solution, engineered to handle both bulk materials and ferrous metals with unparalleled efficiency. This innovative double-girder crane features two distinct lifting mechanisms on a single trolley: a powerful grab bucket for materials like scrap and waste, and a high-strength electromagnet for lifting steel plates, bars, and billets. This “two-in-one” design eliminates the need for multiple cranes, saving valuable time and space in steel mills, recycling facilities, and port operations.
Product Advantages
Unmatched Dual-Purpose Versatility
The key advantage of the QP crane is its ability to switch between two different lifting modes. The first mechanism operates a robust grab bucket for handling loose, bulk materials. The second powers a strong electromagnet for ferrous metals. This dual functionality allows a single crane to perform a wide range of tasks—from loading scrap into a furnace with the grab to moving finished steel products with the magnet—drastically increasing operational flexibility and efficiency.
Heavy-Duty and Reliable Performance
Engineered for a tough A5-A6 work duty, this crane is built for heavy, continuous use in demanding industrial environments. The strong, box-type double-girder structure provides exceptional stability for the dual-hoisting trolley. We use premium components, including Schneider electricals, and robust gearboxes to ensure a long, reliable service life with minimal maintenance requirements.
Optimized for Safety and Control
This crane is designed with comprehensive safety features to protect your assets and personnel. It includes overload protection for both lifting mechanisms, travel limit switches, and an emergency stop system. Control can be managed from a climate-controlled operator cabin, providing excellent visibility, or via a wireless remote control that allows the operator to maintain a safe distance from the load.
Fully Customizable for Your Workflow
We tailor every QP crane to meet the specific demands of your operation. You can customize the lifting capacity for both the grab and the magnet (e.g., 10T grab / 10T magnet), the span, lifting height, and power supply. We will help you select the ideal grab type and magnet size to create a perfect, integrated lifting system for your facility.
Application Scenarios
- Steel Mills & Foundries: Perfect for charging furnaces with scrap metal using the grab, and then handling finished steel slabs, billets, or coils with the magnet.
- Scrap Recycling Yards: Streamlines operations by allowing one crane to sort, load, and unload both loose scrap bundles and solid ferrous materials.
- Ports and Terminals: An efficient solution for ships and yards that handle a mix of bulk cargo and steel products, reducing the need for multiple specialized cranes.
- Heavy Manufacturing: Provides the versatility to handle raw steel stock with the magnet and remove waste or scrap materials with the grab bucket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the grab bucket and the magnet be used at the same time?
A: The QP crane is designed with two separate lifting mechanisms on one trolley, but typically only one mechanism is operated at a time. The operator selects whether to use the grab or the magnet based on the material being handled.
Q: What happens to the magnet if there is a power failure?
A: For critical applications, our electromagnetic lifting systems can be equipped with a backup battery power supply. In the event of a main power failure, this system provides temporary power to the magnet, ensuring the load is held securely for a short period, allowing time for it to be lowered safely.
Q: Is this crane suitable for handling hot materials in a steel mill?
A: Yes, we can customize the crane for high-temperature environments. This includes using heat-resistant cables, heat shields to protect the trolley and its components, and special high-temperature magnets designed specifically for handling hot steel slabs or billets.
Q: How do I get a quote for a dual-purpose crane?
A: To get an accurate quote, please provide your required lifting capacity for both the grab and the magnet (e.g., 10 tons each), the span of your workshop, the necessary lifting height, your facility’s power supply, and the primary materials you will be handling. Our team will quickly prepare a detailed technical proposal for you.
