QP Type Dual-Purpose Overhead Crane

Dual-purpose overhead crane with grab bucket and electromagnetic lifting for efficient bulk material and steel handling in heavy industries. The QP type dual-purpose overhead crane is a smart choice for heavy-duty industrial lifting. Unlike a standard overhead crane, it combines two lifting tools in one system: a grab bucket and an electromagnetic lifter. This makes it more versatile for handling different types of materials.

This crane is designed to perform two jobs:

Use the grab bucket to lift loose materials like coal, sand, or scrap metal.
Switch to the electromagnetic chuck to lift steel plates, billets, or rebar.

That's why it's called a dual-purpose overhead crane—it does both grabbing and magnetic lifting with one machine.

Many industries need to handle both bulk and solid steel materials. Instead of installing two overhead cranes, one dual-purpose crane covers both jobs. Benefits include:

Cost-effective – no need to buy and maintain two cranes.
Space-saving – needs only one set of tracks and structure.
Time-saving – easy to switch between grab and magnet modes.

It's also built for high-duty use (usually A6), which means it works well under continuous and heavy operation.

Key Features of QP Type Dual-Purpose Overhead Crane

The QP overhead crane is specially designed for dual lifting needs—ideal for facilities handling both bulk and magnetic materials. Below are its main features:

This is the most important feature. The QP crane can lift:

Loose materials (scrap, ore, coal, etc.) using a grab bucket.
Magnetic items (steel plates, bars, billets, etc.) using an electromagnetic chuck.

Switching between grab and magnet is fast and simple. It saves space and reduces equipment costs, making it perfect for multi-use applications.

Available models include:

5/5t, 10/10t, and 16/16t — each figure means equal capacity for both grab and magnet.
Customized capacities available to meet site-specific requirements or heavy load handling.

This dual-purpose overhead crane is rated A6, which means:

Designed for frequent use and heavy-duty operations.
Suitable for long working hours and higher production demands.
Commonly used in steel mills, foundries, and recycling plants where crane use is intense.

Every QP crane includes:

Bridge frame – spans the workshop; built for strength and stability.
Trolley with hoisting mechanism – runs along the bridge, carries the grab or magnet.
Grab bucket + Electromagnetic lifter – quickly changeable depending on material.
Electrical & control systems – includes motors, wiring, protection, and either cab or remote control options.

All systems are integrated for safe, smooth, and reliable operation. If your job requires handling both scrap and steel, the QP dual-purpose overhead crane brings solid performance, saves space, and cuts down your equipment list.

Applications of QP Type Dual-Purpose Overhead Crane

The QP type dual-purpose overhead crane is specifically designed for handling a wide range of materials using either a grab bucket or an electromagnetic lifting system. It suits operations where both magnetic and non-magnetic materials need to be moved frequently and efficiently.

This crane handles a variety of material types, including:

Steel scrap – irregular, heavy, and often sharp-edged materials.
Bulk metal materials – such as pig iron, broken castings, or foundry returns.
Granular materials – like ore, metal chips, coal, or similar particles that require a grab bucket.
Unpacking-free steel products – such as bundled steel bars, billets, steel plates, and coils, which can be lifted directly by the magnet without unpacking.

This flexibility makes the QP crane valuable in material handling processes that require both lifting precision and high efficiency.
