Permadur Multiple Part Handling Systems

Maximize torch-on time

Product Description

Overview

Permadur Multiple Part Handling Systems improve cutting efficiency by reducing handling time in oxy, plasma, and laser operations. Loads full plate and removes parts and skeletons simultaneously in a single lift. Minimizing burning table unload time increases torch-on time and streamline workflows.

Key Benefits
  • High-density magnet configurations optimize efficiency
  • Will not drop load due to power loss, faulty wiring or misoperation of controls
  • Selective magnet controls with movable cross arms
  • Built to OSHA and ASME 830.20 standards
  • No power consumption during lift (100% duty cycle)
  • Control options range from ON/OFF pushbutton to radio remote to PLC controls. Permadur controller provides safety indicator lights for positive feedback to the operator to confirm magnet attachment prior to lift
  • Skeleton picker frames simplify part separation
  • Lower head room design
  • Single sheet lift from stack
Models

Custom design based on plate size and part sizes to be removed from the burning table in a single lift.

Use Cases

For fabrication shops and steel processors seeking higher throughput and reduced downtime.

Problem

In many fabrication shops, warehouses, and industrial operations, handling multiple parts at once — such as bundles of sheet metal, stacked plates, grouped components, or sets of similar parts — is inefficient, risky, and labor-intensive. Using slings, chains, clamps, or manual means to lift multiple items often leads to uneven loads, material damage, mis-handling, longer cycle times, and increased chance of operator injury or dropped parts.

Cause

Because conventional lifting and rigging methods are designed for single-part loads, attempts to lift multiple parts together rely on makeshift solutions: awkward placement of slings or clamps, uneven weight distribution, repeated manual adjustments, and reliance on multiple operators. This leads to slow setup times, inconsistent load security, potential damage to parts (scratches, bends), and increased safety risks — especially when loads shift or are imbalanced. Additionally, manual handling becomes a bottleneck as throughput needs increase.

Solution

Permadur’s Multiple-Part Handling Systems provide engineered lifting/handling solutions designed to safely, securely, and efficiently lift and transport groups of parts as a unit. These systems are tailored to accommodate bundled, stacked, or multiple-part loads — ensuring balanced lifting, stable rigging, and secure transport. By using purpose-built hardware instead of improvised rigging, these systems allow one operator (or fewer operators) to lift and move multiple items at once with proper load distribution, minimal manual readjustment, and reduced risk of part damage or load shift.

Benefit

Using Permadur Multiple-Part Handling Systems dramatically improves efficiency, safety, and throughput. Operations complete lifts faster and with fewer workers, reducing labor costs and time per lift. Material quality is preserved — fewer scratches, bends, or dropped parts — lowering scrap and rework. Safety improves through more stable, predictable lifts, reducing risk of operator injury or accidents. Overall workflow becomes more streamlined: higher volume and speed per shift, lower damage rates, reduced labor overhead — delivering better productivity and cost-effectiveness for handling grouped loads.
