• Highly cost-effective
• Maximum value and efficiency throughout the entire product service life
• Compatible with existing KBK Aluline systems
• Smart combinations with steel profile sections for even larger distances between suspensions
• Gain valuable floor space thanks to overhead materials handling – linear, e.g. along a production line, and area-serving, e.g. at individual assembly stations

Maximum flexibility

• Modular system design based on the construction-kit principle
• Wide range of applications from push-travel and electric systems or pneumatic operation to fully automated installations
• New components can be integrated or existing units can be replaced with ease at any time
• Combination of aluminium and steel profile sections possible in one installation
• Short delivery times thanks to availability of almost all parts from stock

Valuable cost savings

• Fast and simple installation and conversion
• Reduced forces transmitted to superstructures for lighter, more cost-effective building design
• Greater distances between suspensions and joints for fewer suspension fittings: additional steelwork largely unnecessary
• Simple and cost-effective modification and extension to meet changing requirements

Proven system

• Continuously tested in our own test centre and in external tests
• Quality made in Germany
• Light crane system from the market leader with more than 50 years of experience

Professional planning support

• Free KBK Designer online tool for project engineering your KBK installations
• Planning made easy: fast, self-explanatory configuration including static calculation, parts list, technical drawing and quotation price
• Link to the Demag Shop order system for simple and reliable orders at the click of your mouse

The benefits at a glance:

Optimum space utilisation

• Overhead, area-serving load transport
• Optimum utilisation 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

• Easily moved by hand
• Smooth-running, snag-free operation thanks to articulated connections between the crane girders and trolleys
• Low deadweight
• Customer-specific and cost-effective solutions for workshops – also in limited sections
• Versatile applications thanks to modular system design (e.g. latching arrangements with KBK suspension monorails for crane trolley transfer)
• Cranes can also operate on runways that are not parallel

The benefits at a glance:

Optimum space utilisation

• Overhead, area-serving load transport
• Optimum utilisation 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

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

Strong performance

• Rated for loads weighing up to 3,200 kg
• Maximum possible 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

The benefits at a glance:

KBK overhung cranes

• Efficient utilisation 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

The benefits at a glance:

Efficient workplace design

• Optimum ergonomic load handling
• High operating speeds
• Optimum positioning of workpieces and sub-assemblies
• Range can be increased by performing operations also outside the suspension area
• Also available with KBK Aluline for even lower deadweight

Simple upgrade

• Existing KBK double-girder suspension cranes can be converted into manipulator cranes using KBK ergo components

The benefits at a glance:

High flexibility

• The route can be precisely adapted to meet the structural requirements of any workshop thanks to a wide range of components
• Transfer to adjacent suspension cranes also possible using latching devices

Great versatility

• Also suitable for use as equipment carriers (e.g. for test equipment, electric and compressed-air tools)
• Reliable supply of media thanks to comprehensive KBK components (cable trolleys, hose clips, etc.) – for dedicated transport with fluids, compressed air and power supply systems for cranes and other mobile equipment
• Double-rail tracks as carrier systems for rigid handling equipment, such as manipulators or lifting devices

The benefits at a glance:

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 500 kg can be transported, sorted and stored with ease

The benefits at a glance:

Three variants

• EVP-KBK single-girder full-portal crane – KBK II or KBK II-H crane girder
• ZVP-KBK double-girder full-portal crane – KBK II or KBK II-H crane girders
• D-IVP single-girder full-portal crane – I-beam section crane girder (with optional telescopic height adjustment)

Practical applications

• Easy to manoeuvre
• Can be simply dismantled for transport
• Quickly re-erected at a new operating site
