KBK, German abbreviation for KombiniertKran, means combined crane. Originated in Europe, it was introduced to China in 1990s. It is a patented product of German Demag Company (which has passed the patent period). Later, it was imitated or designed by various crane manufacturers and widely used in China after 2000.
The lifting capacity of KBK is generally less than 2T. At present, there are many manufacturers at home and abroad, and the quality of products and installation services is mixed, which leads to the inability to formulate unified industry standards and naming standards in China. Therefore, KBK has always been called the name of a crane below 2T in China. Simply called KBK· Crane, in fact, this name is strictly incorrect.
Matters needing attention of KBK crane:
KBK is mainly composed of track, suspension device, walking trolley, lifting device and some functional components. All modules are standard components and can be assembled freely according to the needs of the workshop.
The track is a closed track, including straight track and curved track, which is divided into ω-type or C-type. The commonly used materials are carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum alloy. Because it is a standard part, it can be assembled into any structure such as short-distance monorail, multi-track, curved track or circular track.
The suspension device is generally installed at the lower edge of I-beam /H-beam or concrete beam, which has a certain self-locking function and is simple and reliable to install.
