Ergonomic Handling via Aluminum Crane Systems
KBK Aluline
Demag KBK Aluline Light Crane System
International studies prove that ergonomic workplace design has an immediate impact on productivity. Benefit from the productivity opportunities that KBK Aluline, our aluminum crane system, has to offer. We have redefined smooth-running characteristics for our KBK Aluline light crane system. The result is one of the smoothest-running systems on the market. Our products facilitate operating sequences that are more ergonomic and convenient than ever before, and they now allow for loads weighing up to 2,000 kg.
About Our Aluminum Crane Kits and Systems
With our optimized and modular KBK Aluline components, spatial challenges and requirements are already taken into account during the planning stage. Reduced approach dimensions and thus improved utilization of the available space are ensured by our optimized trolleys. During the project engineering phase, planners already gain more flexibility thanks to, for example, larger distances between suspensions and the option of an integrated conductor line, thus reducing installation work and assembly costs.
Useful KBK additional components enable owners of installations to respond to changing requirements at any time. Variable travel path limitation, for example, makes it possible to limit travel motions in just a few steps. Additionally, our aluminum crane kit is quick and easy to install.
Other benefits of our aluminum crane system include:
- Extremely smooth travel
- Fast and simple installation and conversion
- Load capacity range up to 2,000 kg
- Ergonomic load handling for even heavy loads
- Low noise levels
- Virtually maintenance-free system
- Six different aluminum profile sections in four sizes
- Integrated conductor line for 2 profile section sizes
- Maximum freedom of planning thanks to modular system design
- Unique combinations with steel profile sections for maximum distances between suspensions
- Reduced approach dimensions
- Lower assembly costs

- Optimum support for fatigue-free operation
- Reduced physical burden for workers
- Lower absenteeism due to illness
- Higher employee satisfaction
- Optimum workplace design, thanks to a comprehensive range of chain hoists and load-handling attachments
Highly cost-effective
- Maximum value and efficiency throughout the entire product service life
- Compatible with existing KBK Aluline systems, so you can have more than one aluminum crane system in your facility
- Smart combinations with steel profile sections for even larger distances between suspensions
- Gain valuable floor space thanks to overhead materials handling – linear (along a production line) and area-serving (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 aluminum and steel profile sections possible in one installation
- Short delivery times thanks to the availability of almost all parts from stock, which means you will have your aluminum crane kit at your facility ASAP
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 is largely unnecessary
