KBK Suspension Crane for Malta Project-Workstation Crane Helps Lifting

Yuantai quality KBK crane overview

A KBK crane, also called workstation crane is a type of overhead crane that is designed for use in industrial or manufacturing settings. It typically consists of a metal frame that is suspended from the ceiling and a trolley that runs along a track on the frame.

The trolley is used to lift and move heavy loads within a specific area, such as a workstation or assembly line. Workstation cranes can be operated manually or with the assistance of electric motors, depending on the specific needs of the user. They are often used to improve productivity, reduce worker fatigue, and increase safety in the workplace.

Main components of KBK light crane

1. Bridge: The bridge is the horizontal beam that spans the width of the working area. It supports the other components and allows the crane to move along the length of the area.
2. Hoist: The hoist is the lifting mechanism of the crane. It consists of a motorized drum or chain system that raises and lowers the load.
3. Trolley: The trolley is the mechanism that moves the hoist along the length of the bridge. It allows for precise positioning of the load.
4. Pendant controller: The pendant controller is a handheld device that enables the operator to control the movement and lifting functionality of the crane. It typically includes buttons or switches for controlling the direction and speed of the crane.
5. Support structure: The support structure provides stability to the crane system. It can be ceiling-mounted or freestanding, depending on the specific installation requirements.

Workstation bridge crane for assembly use in Malta

This client from the Malta has recently implemented a KBK Suspension Crane to aid in their lifting needs. This type of crane is ideal for workstation use and provides a variety of benefits that make it a popular choice in industrial settings. The KBK crane will be used in client’s workshop for assembly. These cranes are often used in assembly line operations to transport components or finished products along the production line, improving efficiency and reducing manual labor.

How does KBK suspension crane work?

A worker can easily position the overhead workstation crane at the desired location, attach the needed material or required tooling to the crane's hoist hook, then transport that material or tooling to another location - repeating over the time period of the specific task. Again, this allows the worker to easily lift heavy items within congested areas using our overhead workstation crane system as a powerful assistant. The worker can also adjust the movement and lifting functionality of the workstation crane and its hoist with a hand-held pendant controller.
