Light crane systems, also called rail systems, are modular lifting solutions built from light steel profiles. They are available with lifting capacities from 50 kg to 2,000 kg and spans up to 8 metres. They are mounted to the ceiling or on freestanding structures and are suitable for ergonomic movement of loads in production, assembly and logistics.

What exactly are light cranes or rail systems?
Light crane systems, also called rail systems, are modular lifting solutions built from light steel profiles. They are mounted to the ceiling or on a freestanding structure and make it possible to move loads easily and ergonomically.
Thanks to their modular design, KBK systems are highly flexible and can be perfectly adapted to the available space and the desired path. They are ideal for repetitive tasks and light to medium loads.
The focus is on ergonomic working: moving loads with minimal physical effort, resulting in greater comfort, safety and productivity on the work floor.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The core objective is ergonomic working: moving loads with minimal physical effort, resulting in greater comfort, reduced risk of injury and higher productivity. Because the systems are predominantly manually operated and very smooth-running, operators can position loads smoothly and accurately without additional force.
Yes, light crane systems are modular in design and can easily be expanded or adapted to changing needs. They are available in single rail and double rail configurations and can be combined with existing crane systems or integrated into new halls.
