RELIABLE TRANSPORT FOR LARGE SPANS AND HIGH LOAD CAPACITIES

Double-girder suspension cranes from our KBK modular crane system enable goods to be easily transported. KBK double-girder suspension cranes provide fast, reliable and precise positioning for all loads, including heavy loads with large span dimensions. KBK double-girder suspension cranes feature:

• Cost-effective implementation
• Modular system design
• Smooth and reliable handling
• Favorable installation dimensions
• Rated for loads weighing up to 7,000 lbs (3,200 kg)

Optimum space utilization

• Overhead, area-serving load transport
• Optimum utilization of space thanks to minimum approach dimensions
• Suspension from existing workshop ceilings or roof structures
• Require no additional supports for the crane runway

Convenient handling

• Safe, simple and reliable handling
• Favorable installation dimensions
• Customer-specific and cost-effective solutions for workshops
• Versatile applications thanks to modular system design (e.g. latching arrangements with KBK double suspension monorails for crane trolley transfer)
• Can be employed as manipulator cranes – optimum design for use in state-of-the-art handling systems.

Strong performance

• Rated for loads weighing up to 7,000 lbs (3,200 kg)
• Maximize hook paths by arranging the hoist between the crane girders
• Maximum span dimensions by means of multiple suspensions (cranes operating on more than two runways) – to cover extensive storage and production areas
• Modular system design

LARGE OVERHANG – CONSTANT OR VARIABLE

Loads can be moved beyond the crane runway using overhung and extending cranes from our KBK modular crane system. These solutions offer greater room to maneuver and facilitate optimum utilization of the available space. Our solutions to meet specific requirements include:

• Overhung cranes which are fitted with crane girders that extend beyond the width of the crane runway
• Extending cranes that consist of a fixed section and a crane section that can extend in both directions
• Crane girders that extend over 8ft (2.5m) beyond the runway span

KBK overhung cranes

• Efficient utilization of the workshop (e.g. workshop areas added at a later date can also be served without the need to install an additional crane runway)
• They can be operated beneath ventilation ducts, radiant heaters and cables

KBK extending cranes

• Depending on the design, girders can be extended to one or both sides beyond the width of the crane runway
• They can also be used for precisely lifting and positioning loads in almost inaccessible areas (e.g. between pillars and columns)

FLEXIBLE HANDLING EQUIPMENT FOR STORES AND FACTORIES

Our KBK stacker cranes make it possible to complete all storage and handling tasks in one operating cycle without the need for ladders, order-picking trolleys or similar equipment. Unit loads, containers or pallets weighing up to 1,000 lbs (500 kg) can be safely and reliably transported, sorted and stored.

• Combination of KBK double-girder suspension crane and special stacker trolley
• Load handling attachments to match the load – forks, prongs, grippers and other attachments can be supplied

Proven equipment matching application requirements

• Combination of KBK double-girder suspension crane and special stacker trolley
• Stacker trolley handling attachments designed to match the load - forks, prongs, grippers and other attachments can be supplied

Convenient handling

• Loads are precisely picked up and guided
• Simple manual crane and trolley travel
• Can be turned over a range of 360°
• Unit loads, containers and pallets weighing up to 1,100 lbs (500 kg) can be transported, sorted and stored with ease

SWITCH TO IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY AND ERGONOMICS

Manually handling or moving relatively light loads is often unsafe, time-consuming and an ergonomic burden for employees.
