KBK Suspension Crane Types

KBK single girder suspension cranes：

• The KBK-LD type flexible modular single girder suspension crane is made up of standard linear track and other standard components.
• The trolley traveling part at both ends of the main beam can be run on two tracks perpendicular to the main beam's direction, the single beam can be used with any type of fixed chain hoist, and the special KBK driving device can drive the hoist to run along the main beam's direction.
• This type of product is used for material transportation by plane and can be used in a workshop or warehouse.
• Because of its unique flexibility and degree of freedom, the flexible modular single-beam suspension crane can be inclined to run on the track, walk on the track with the variable span, and run on two concentric circular curved tracks, which other types of lifting products cannot.
• The flexible composite single-beam suspension crane has a maximum span of 10 meters and a maximum lifting capacity of 2000kg.

 
KBK double girder suspension cranes：

• KBK-LS type flexible modular double girder suspension crane comprises standard linear track and other auxiliary standard parts.
• The trolley traveling part at both ends of the main beam can be run on two tracks perpendicular to the direction of the main beam, the single beam can be used with each type of fixed chain hoist, and the special KBK driving device can drive the hoist to run along the direction of the main beam.
• The flexible modular double girder suspension crane is used to lift heavy materials with a large span due to the use of double-rail parallel composite beam to increase the load-bearing capacity of the main beam.
• KBK Double-girder suspension cranes feature a low deadweight and favorable structural dimensions.
• Double-girder suspension cranes can even be installed in buildings of light steel construction.
• KBK classic double-girder cranes can also operate on several runways, thus providing large spans to cover extensive storage and production areas.
• The KBK cranes can be easily moved by hand. However, electric friction wheel travel drives from the KBK crane construction kit are recommended for spans greater than 6 meters and load capacities exceeding 3000 kg.
