KBK Rail and Light Crane System | Overhead Crane for Light Duty Material Handling

Product Introduction

The KBK rail and light crane system is the general name for flexible beam overhead cranes, designed for light duty material handling in workshops, warehouses and stockyards. Originating from European station crane design, the maximum lifting capacity reaches 2 tons. The KBK light crane system is a combination of suspensions, rails, ballasts, trolleys, electric hoists, mobile power supply units (sliding lines) and control units. It can be transported directly in the air by simply hanging on the roof or on the building beam, requiring no additional support columns. The system is ideal for individual workstations, assembly lines and production areas where precise positioning of components is required.

Key Features

• Reasonable Installation Size, Light Weight — The KBK flexible overhead crane consists of standard KBK components, enabling quick and reliable material handling in specific areas and precise positioning of various components.
• Cost-effective Design — It can be simply hung on the roof or superstructure without requiring additional auxiliary support. Installation is simple and reliable at a lower cost, whether serving part or all of the workshop.
• Safe and Reliable Operation — Thanks to its light weight design and smooth operation, the KBK rail system can quickly and reliably transport bulky workpieces. Maximum lifting capacity is 1000kg for single girder, and maximum span reaches 8.5m.
• Good Reliability and High Stability — The components are all standard modules ensuring large-volume, high-quality production. The main body features three kinds of cold-rolled profiles with high strength, good rigidity and light weight, ensuring system stability.
• Strong Adaptability — The KBK overhead crane can be flexibly designed and installed according to each station’s needs. From fixed-point delivery to high-accuracy multi-point, multi-beat automated conveyor lines, they can be combined at will. Suitable for newly designed workshops and system retrofits/extensions.
• Easy to Install — Installation and commissioning is very convenient. Profiles and standard modules can be connected using bolts only, saving workshop space and area, reducing energy consumption and improving enterprise efficiency. Operable manually, automatically or semi-automatically.

Product Types

KBK Flexible Monorail Crane

The suspended monorail crane consisting of KBK standard components enables linear air transport of materials. Suspension cranes are widely used with outstanding performance. Since all components can be arbitrarily combined, the track orientation can be flexibly arranged according to the building conditions of the customer’s shop floor to meet the special requirements of specific products and working positions. The monorail orientation is flexible: from simple manually controlled linear rails to circular rails with numerous branches, semi-automatic and fully automatic controls.

KBK Flexible Single Girder Suspension Crane

Customer-specific configuration to meet individual requirements. Maximum lifting capacity is 1000kg and maximum span is 8.5m. Features include reasonable installation size, lightweight construction, cost-effectiveness, safety, reliability, high stability, strong adaptability, and easy bolt-connected installation.

KBK Flexible Double Girder Suspension Crane

Designed to move along the orbit direction of the factory building, with lateral movement of the trolley and lifting movement of the hook. Suitable for loading, unloading and lifting in warehouses, workshops and stockyards. It provides higher lifting height because the lifting hoist is suspended on the small frame between the two KBK main beams. Maximum span reaches 9 meters with lifting weight from 125kg to 2000kg. When the crane track span exceeds 6m and the load exceeds 500kg, electric friction wheel drive is recommended. Not suitable for high temperature (>+40°C), low temperature (<-20°C), dissolved red hot metal or strong corrosive chemical environments.

KBK Flexible Combined Cranes

Combined Monorail Crane: Suitable for linear conveying of materials, connecting loading and unloading stations directly for round-trip and circular conveying operations. Different components such as straight rails, curved rails, turnouts and turntables allow free movement.
Single-beam Combined Crane: Quickly and safely completes lifting operations of various materials. Very light walking mechanism, light operation, can be simply suspended on the top structure without additional columns.
Double Beam Combined Crane: A combination of standard KBK components that absorbs horizontal load shock caused by braking, obtaining a larger span than single-beam combined crane with higher lifting height.
Telescopic Beam Crane: Equipped with a telescopic beam under the main beam that can extend from one or both sides to avoid obstacles such as columns, walls or pipes to obtain a larger working range.
