Simple ergonomic handling
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 has to offer. We have redefined smooth running characteristics for our KBK Aluline light crane system. The result: one of the smoothest-running systems on the market. For operating sequences that are more ergonomic and convenient than ever before. And now for loads weighing up to 2,000 kg.
With our optimised and modular KBK Aluline components, spatial challenges and requirements are already taken into account during the planning stage. Reduced approach dimensions and thus improved utilisation of the available space are ensured by our optimised 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. Quick and easy to install.
- 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 aluminium 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
Profile sections
Freedom for planning with graded KBK Aluline profile sections
- 6 KBK aluminium profile sections in 4 sizes
- Of which 2 sizes with internal conductor lines
- Load capacity up to 2 t
- Easy to install thanks to simple bolted connecting plates
- Different profile sections can be combined within one installation
- Aluminium and steel can be combined
Track suspensions
Wide range of applications
- Safe connection to various superstructures
- Exact alignment down to the millimetre thanks to track height adjustment
- Low maintenance requirement
- Articulated suspension for A22 track section:
- High load capacity (2,400 kg)
- Large distances between suspensions (up to 8 m)
- Ergo suspension to safely accommodate kick-up forces
- Articulated suspension for all track sections
Trolleys
Compact and strong: minimum approach dimensions with high load capacity
- For single-girder cranes with up to 2 t load capacity
- Best possible utilisation of space thanks to compact design with minimum approach dimensions
Integrated conductor line
Safe and space-saving power supply via profile sections with integrated conductor line:
- Additional headroom gain
- No risk of collisions (e.g. with forklifts) thanks to lack of cables
- Several cranes can be installed on one runway
- Additional external power supply fittings not required, which minimises assembly times and costs
Cable sliders and cable trolleys
Cable sliders and cable trolleys
- Cable sliders made of temperature-resistant plastic
- Cable trolley with clamp mechanism for flat cables
- Also suitable for compressed air or water hoses
Hoists
Custom hoist solution
- Tailor-made solutions consisting of crane system and hoist – thanks to the very comprehensive range of the DC generation:
- DC-Com: for everyday needs, up to 2 t
- DC-Pro: numerous options already included, up to 5 t
- DCS-Pro: even more precision thanks to variable speeds
- DCM Manulift: convenient operation and load control with one hand
- DCBS: chain hoist with balancer function
- Control systems: cable connection or by radio
- Trolleys: electric or manual
Maintenance section
Direct access to moving components
- For assembly, removal and maintenance of trolleys
- When open: secure locking of the opening and trolleys
- Fully loaded trolleys can travel through when it is locked
- Available for all profile section sizes

Product information
The benefits at a glance
Optimum egonomics
- Convenient and ergonomic push-travel operation, also thanks to low crane deadweights
- Optimum support for fatigue-free operation
- Reduced physical burden for workers
- Lower absenteeism due to illness
- Higher employee satisfaction
- Optimum workplace design thanks to 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
- Smart combinations with steel profile sections for even larger distances between suspensions
- Gain valuable floor space thanks to overhead materials handling – linear, e.g. along a production line, and area-serving, e.g. 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 availability of almost all parts from stock
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 largely unnecessary
- Simple and cost-effective modification and extension to meet changing requirements
Proven system
- Continuously tested in our own test center and in external tests
- Quality made in Germany
- Light crane system from the market leader with more than 50 years of experience
